Cup of Joe, January 15, 2025
One of the ways to live our UU values this weekend is to attend and participate in this year’s Dr. King Celebration Weekend (Jan 17-20). You’ll find the listing of events here.
One of our young people will be performing in the kick-off celebration on Friday, Jan 17, and we’ll be hosting two events in our meetinghouse. On Saturday, Jan 18, at noon we host a puppet show and singalong. You can learn more about the “Civility Puppets” project here. Dan Berggren and Rev Joe will also be lending their voices and guitars to the event.
On Sunday, Jan 19, at 6:00, our Social Justice team hosts a viewing of “An Unsettling Force,” which documents the revival of Dr. King’s Poor People’s Campaign led by Bishop William J. Barber and Rev. Liz Theoharis.
Again, check out the full schedule for the MLK Celebration Weekend.
Finally, the Saratoga Interfaith Alliance will host a potluck on Monday, January 20 at 5:00 at Saratoga Springs United Methodist Church. We hope to brainstorm some goals, strategies and events that congregations can collaborate on and how we might support one another’s well-being and work for justice. Please bring your own place settings if you can.
See you this weekend!
love,
Rev Joe
