Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Newark - UUFN

As UUs, we recognize that all work—including the often less visible and unpaid labor that sustains our families, congregations, and communities—carries inherent dignity and worthiness. Yet, the relentless demands of work can leave us feeling overwhelmed and stressed.

This Labor Day offers a meaningful opportunity to reflect on how we can balance self-care with the needs of our busy lives, and to consider ways, individually and collectively, to ensure that all who work receive fair treatment, equitable opportunities, and the respect they deserve in every aspect of their labor.

We join the community in mourning the passing of Norma Eckard. Norma was an ally, an advocate, and a beautiful and fun person to spend time with.

Norma was the Congregational Administrator at UUSD Unitarian Universalists of Southern Delaware where she also served on the Social & Environmental Justice Committee and the Welcome Committee, helping build inclusive, justice-centered spaces rooted in care, belonging, and collective responsibility.

Many also know Norma as a parent to Vienna Cavazos and we could not imagine there being a more loving or supportive parent.

5th Sunday Fellowship: Choosing Hope in Times of Chaos

Sunday, August 30th
10:30 AM
Presented by Fifth Sunday Fellowship

At a time when the world seems to be on fire and everywhere we turn there is cause for despair, it can seem difficult and even simplistic to talk about choosing hope. And yet it may very well be precisely the spiritual practice that we need. This 5th Sunday Fellowship service explores what Joanna Macy calls “active hope” and how our Unitarian universalist congregations are uniquely qualified to engage in this spiritual practice. Indeed, it is a significant core of our spiritual tradition that we can lean into in these chaotic times.

From League of Women Voters of New Castle County - As part of the LWVUS Unite & Rise for Voting Rights initiative in August 2026, LWVDE will host a Voter Empowerment Party on Saturday, August 29. Delawareans, mark your calendar now to join us!

We're planning to have food, speakers, music and games (like bingo and/or group trivia). And if you're unsure about voting in 2026, you'll have a roomful of experts to ask... "Can I vote in the Primary?", "How do I check my registration status?", or "I don't know where to go or what will be on my ballot"... Come hang out with us; we'll help you make a plan to vote!
