SOCIAL ACTION COMMITTEE The Social Action Committee is continuing a long tradition of advocacy and action on social issues. The Committee strives to educate the congregation about local, national, and global concerns while identifying activities and projects that benefit individuals, families, and the community.
The Social Action Committee encourages the congregation to inform area
legislators of their views on a variety of social issues through letter writing
initiatives. Plans are underway to organize a brochure of community
resources for families and individuals in crisis, linking those individuals to
the many support systems in our community. Members of the As a "Welcoming Congregation" we support the rights of gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals in our society and welcome their full participation in our community. We support the Unitarian Universalist Association's Service Committee in its efforts around the world and the UUA's Urban Ministry program in inner city areas.

As another year
begins, let us not forget about our neighbors who are hungry. Please
continue to bring non-perishable food and sanitary items every Sunday.
We did a phenomenal job last year, but this year we need to raise our
standards to meet the rising need. I will bring the food to the pantry
after the last Sunday of every month. A list of the most needed items
is provided below, and a more general needs list is near the food
collection basket in the church parlor. Thank you so much for your
generosity.
