Today’s service will deepen our understanding of the importance of DEI and explore why Unitarian Universalism is committed to the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Rev. Tim will be joined by Greg Townsend, who has served as the Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the UVA Medical School.

Our story this Sunday is The Empty Pot which reinforces the values of honesty and truthfulness. In our story a young boy named Ping is given a seed by the Emperor to grow as part of a competition to choose his successor; despite tending to his plant carefully, nothing grows, forcing Ping to present an empty pot to the Emperor, ultimately being rewarded for his honesty and integrity.Moral Tales (1st-3rd grades)
This Sunday we’ll be exploring how we each can make choices that help us tread more lightly on the earth. Our theme is “interconnections.” With an emphasis on living in balance and harmony with nature and being mindful — even shrinking — the footprint we humans leave on planet Earth, “Balance” will be added to our Moral Compass poster.UU Lego Values (4th & 5th grades)
We’ll be continuing our exploration of the value of equity, an ever more relevant topic in these challenging times! Through games, stories, and Lego building, we’ll find concrete ways to bring this concept to participants.Neighboring Faiths (6th &7th grades)
