Reckoning with Resilience
Sunday April 19th, 10:30 am

Julian of Norwich famously said “All manner of things will be well.” But how is that possible when there is so much oppression, suffering and violence? In this age of encroaching fascism, we must build practices of resilience & joy amidst grief, anger, & despair. Come sing, play, & reckon together! Music from our joint choir. Today’s offering will go to Side With Love.

This worship service will be held in-person in the Great Hall, and also online. To join in the worship service online via Zoom, click HERE on Sunday morning.

Activities will be provided for kids 5-12 yrs, and childcare will be available in the nursery for younger kids. There will be a finger-food potluck after the worship service.

 

Workshop 12:15 pm — Undermining Pillars of Support: 4th Amendment Wedge Strategy

How do we prevent an authoritarian administration from becoming full-on fascism? In this workshop we’ll:

- review ways to undermine Pillars of Support and practice strategic non-cooperation,
- explore how UUs can help grow networks of 4th Amendment Workplaces to help employers and workers understand their rights if ICE arrives,
- provide training and materials to recruit local businesses in this work and build relationship within your congregation and community.

A movie will be offered for kids to watch during the workshop.


Our Guest Minister & Workshop Leader:
Rev. Cathy Rion Starr, they/them, is a Leadership Development Specialist at Side With Love, the UUA’s national organizing department. Cathy runs SWL’s monthly Gathering and recently supported UUs nationwide in the successful Stop Avelo campaign, co-leading the Delaware Coalition of that campaign. They also love singing, dark chocolate, board games, gardening, and being silly.
