Speakers: Special Joint Service with UUFSMA and the UU Congregation of Monmouth County NJ, USA
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Sunday Service
by Ann Kuffner, UUFSMA Member
As Unitarian Universalists, we are committed to the work of justice but know we cannot do it alone. The May 5th service, “Partnering for Justice”, will be an exciting first for us. It will simultaneously take place - live - in two places several thousand miles apart. UUFSMA will join with the Monmouth County NJ UU congregation to worship together. (To accommodate different time zones, this service will begin at 9:30 AM in San Miguel.) Our faith tradition calls us to partner with one another, and with other organizations that are doing important justice work.
In the words of Sarah Mac Lean, "The best partnerships aren't dependent on a mere common goal but on a shared path of equality, desire and no small amount of passion.” In this service, we will look at why it is so important to partner with others in the work that we are called to do and consider what makes for a good partnership.
With the help of our wonderful tech team, Reverend Tom Rosiello will join with Rev. Craig Rubano and members of both congregations, including children and youth, to create a meaningful service which will explore the experience of partnering. As a UUFSMA partner congregation, the UU Congregation of Monmouth County, NJ, has assisted us in our work with Libros para Todos. Daniela Franco from Libros para Todos will also participate in the service.
There will be a special bilingual time for children. The music for the service will include a solo sung by the Rev. Craig Rubano who, before becoming a minister, had a wonderful career on Broadway. Malcolm Halliday and members of the music ministry at the UU Congregation of Monmouth County will enrich the service with inspiring instrumental music and lead us in singing.
This will be an uplifting and unique worship experience. Don't forget we will be starting one hour earlier at 9:30 AM SMA time.
Unitarian Universalism is a liberal faith inviting its community to gather around a set of harmonizing values and principles for living. Our UU Fellowship welcomes people of all ages, races, religions, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Belief in a divinity is not the central issue around which we gather for worship and generous action. Rather, we come together with a belief in community, love, compassion, social justice, reverence for nature, and the spirituality of music, all within the interconnected web of existence.
The UUFSMA Social Justice Foundation donates generously to support nonprofit organizations that provide health, educational, and environmental services for underserved communities in the San Miguel region. Learn more at https://www.uufsma.org/foundation.html
