EIGHTH PRINCIPLE AND ANTI-OPPRESSION WORK IN POCATELLO

Meeting House and Zoom
Zoom Link: Here
Meeting ID: 919 0093 4697
Passcode: 915730
 
Our Fellowship adopted the 8th Principle.
What is it, why did we do that, and since we did,
now what? 

8th Principle: “We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote: journeying toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.”

The series will continue on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays through May 13, 2023.

New By-Laws

PUUF Members will receive an updated version of the By-Laws by email in the next few days from Secretary Mark Neiwirth.
Please respond to him with any concerns or additions no later than November 20, 2022.

General Membership Meeting
The Board will hold a General Membership Meeting following the Worship Service on December 4 to vote on the new By-Laws.
 

2023 Religious Exploration Sessions
on the UUA Common Read

Religious Exploration sessions during January/February 2023 will be devoted to discussion of the UUA Common Read, led by Jennifer Attebery. This year's book is Mistakes and Miracles: Congregations on the Road to Multiculturalism, by Nancy Palmer Jones and Karin Lin (Skinner House, 2019).

PUUF will place a bulk order for the book. If we order 10 or more, there will be a 10% discount on the price of $22. The fellowship can provide books gratis to any in need. Let Jennifer Attebery know by October 23 of your interest in purchasing or receiving a book.


Climate Disaster Preparedness for UUs

OCTOBER 25 AND NOVEMBER 15 AT 5:00 PM MT


If you missed the first session, you can watch it and start the homework before joining us for the next session:

Over the next two months, we will be holding a Climate Disaster Response series geared towards congregations committed to responding to the needs of their broader communities in times of crisis and disaster. Our approach with this series is honest and full of care: we know that climate disaster impacts all of us in different ways, so how can we face that reality with a prepared understanding of our relationship, responsibility, and power to support those who are most impacted? 

From grounding ourselves in the climate risks most prevalent in our communities, to developing plans of action, to staying in conversation with our faith peers, this series turns the overwhelming nature of climate disaster into a better known and collectively addressable entity. Rooted in the belief that shared knowledge and faith are essential to Beloved Community, this series will provide the climate activists and teams in your congregation with essential tools to build a climate disaster preparedness plan that lifts up the best of Unitarian Universalism in your community.
