NEXT WEEKEND
Saturday Service"Embracing Change & Transformation
October 18th at 5:00pm
St. Margaret's Cedar Cottage
|
|
As we embark on this transformative third year of our community, we will be embracing change as we co-create what we want this community to be. Please join your Worship Circle as we explore where we have been and where we are going. Based on the work of Rev. Shige Sakurai, we will use the elemental symbolism of spirit, water, fire, earth, and air to represent the dimensions of transformative work. As always, we will have a potluck afterwards and helping hands are welcome with the cleanup.

Some of us UU Salish Sea folks will be attending the No Kings protest Oct 18th, noon-2:00 before our service at 5:00 at St. Margaret's Cedar Cottage. Come join us! Wear your t-shirt if you have one and we'll try to find one another. Easy public transport after the event to the service.https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/841100/
Here in Canada, we stand in solidarity with our American neighbours against their wannabe dictator.
This peaceful movement is growing. That’s because “NO TYRANTS” is more than a slogan—it’s foundational to democracy. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, No Tyrants echoes from corridors of power to classrooms, from urban centres to small neighbourhoods, uniting people across North America to oppose authoritarianism, and to stand for democracy with one voice.
The US president thinks he’s above the law. In Canada we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us. Elbows up. Sign up!
