Picture
“It isn’t love that makes the world go round 
but compassion — starting over in gentleness 
when love hasn’t been enough or other factors have failed: 
a gentle refusal to blame oneself or others 
and just begin again."
Nancy Shaffer (Unitarian Universalist, clergy) While Still There Is Light: Writings From A Minister Facing Death


Faith in Action is putting together an overview page for Justice and Service groups.  Please submit your information so we can have a comprehensive list.

Each committee, or group, please send a two sentence description of the kind of work you do.  Or if it is a number of different things such as Community Ministries, send a list of the projects and a one sentence description of each.  Send to teribrooks@gmail.com
Even if your group has no leader right now, consider sending in the information.  We could list these as areas of former activity, in case a new member or someone wants to revisit it, it is helpful to  know if there is background in the church.

We will take the Faith in Action web page, and change it over to a portal to all the other justice and service ministries.  We will ask the web master to make this the page that is shown when Justice and Service is selected.  This way, people won't have to figure out which page to go to.  
They can click on this page, and see an overview of all the justice and service groups in the church.  We will have a hard copy of this. 
The access to the individual pages will remain the same, and they will still be listed as individual pages.  There will be links on the overview page to each individual page.



Example:
Standing on the Side of Love:  
A Community Church ministry, an interfaith public advocacy campaign that seeks to harness love’s power to stop oppression.It is sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist Association.  

Opportunities to Get Involved

Activities in the church

Recycling plastics. ECO will be focusing on plastic recycling in October. This can be confusing and varies from one location to another. ECO is drawing up an informational sheet to help you know how and where you can recycle the various kinds of plastics. If you have a specific question, please send it to ECO@c3huu.org.

Ongoing, Sundays: IFC (Inter-Faith Council) provides many services to those in need.  Food is one of those and is constantly needed. One way to remember those going hungry is when shopping for yourself or your family, pick up a couple items that you can donate.  We have a basket located outside the sanctuary where a bag of food can be placed. Thanks for caring hearts. 

Activities in the wider community

Ongoing, 1st Fridays and 3rd Tuesdays: Cook and serve dinner at the IFC Community House Shelter. C3HUU not only feeds the men who stay at the shelter but others in the community who need a meal. If you can volunteer, please sign the clip board in the Commons, outside of the Sanctuary. You will get back many "thank you's" from those who appreciate your time and energy.

Our Team's Mission
To facilitate the congregational process of “effecting change through our love of the world.”  To help our congregation become a multigenerational, diverse and multicultural community, to develop and steward sustainable, effective action grounded in faith, to create a congregational discernment process, to facilitate collaboration with aligned groups in the community, and to help establish strong links to Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) social justice work.
Who We Are and What We Do
Our team grew out of the "Sacred Fire" course developed and taught by our former intern minister Nato Hollister. In this year-long course, we explored our roots as Unitarian Universalists working in justice and service, why we are compelled to be involved in justice and service, and what it looks like to do justice and service work as Unitarian Universalists in particular. We hope to facilitate coordination, communication, and cooperation among the many people within our church doing this important work, as well as strengthening our church's connections with the UUA and the justice and service groups outside our congregation. Please explore this web page or contact us (faithinaction@c3huu.org)  for information about what our various justice & service groups are Bob Weston, Kate Carroll, Emma Friedman
