Join us to reflect on our UU values and how they call us to live out our commitment to justice. Gather with others to discuss how we can turn our values into action.

The post Summer Worship Service – Putting Our UU Values Into Action – June 29, 2025 at 10 am in the Lounge first appeared on Unitarian Universalist Church of Worcester.

Addressing injustice and re-orienting our lives for freedom is an ongoing pursuit. With so much happening in our world locally, nationally, and globally, taking in the state of the world and looking for the right path can be overwhelming. Engaging in long lasting learning and action is best when done in community. Members of UUCW’s Side With Love Taskforce will share some of their stories of what has motivated them for ongoing learning and action and how they’ve connected with others.

The Side with Love Taskforce has met regularly as a discussion and action group since 2017. Members meet regularly on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month over zoom to discuss learning, action, and advocacy related to promoting justice. Members are connected to the UUA Side With Love campaign, as well as UU Mass Action, the UU statewide action network.

The post Harnessing Each Others’ Stories of Love & Justice first appeared on Unitarian Universalist Church of Worcester.

Unitarian Universalists gather around a shared set of values and beliefs. In June 2023, UUCW adopted the 8th principle as a new addition to our values, explicitly naming our commitment to dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions. A year and a half later, where are we? Join the 8th Principle Taskforce in reflecting on our past, present and future while also appreciating the wisdom and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. 

The 8th Principle Taskforce has been meeting since 2020 to advance an anti-racist and anti-oppressive commitment within the congregation and to support education and engagement amongst friends and members. The 8th Principle Taskforce is led by Rachel Keyo, Mara Pentlarge, David Schowalter, Karen Stephenson, Emily Stolarski, and Evan Wilson.
