During COVID, UU Congregations across the state of Michigan (including Berrien UU) have found an opportunity to come together like never before.
Thousands of Unitarian Universalists will meet in cyberspace for online worship on Sunday, July 12th, 2020 at 10:30 AM, hosted by Northwest Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Southfield.
Over 20 Michigan Unitarian Universalist congregations have worked together to create a joint worship experience with the theme “What have we discovered about remaining hopeful in the midst of the unknown that we can sustain into the future?” Each congregation is pre-recording an element of the service, including music, readings, and a homily. (Berrien UU is recording the chalice lighting portion of the service, with help from our RE children).
The service will be broadcast via Zoom and streamed on Facebook and YouTube on Sunday morning, July 12th. Zoom meeting details will be sent out to BUUF subscribers in advance of the service.
Following the service, there will be a break-out room coffee hour, randomly assigned so that small groups of people, each from a different area of Michigan, can reflect with each other in an intimate setting.
The offering collected online during the service will go entirely to The Unitarian Universalist Trauma Response Ministry (UUTRM) and Black Lives UU (BLUU). Thank you, Joshua Berg (service coordinator) and Lisa Fuller (BUUF representative)!
