Practicing Resistance, Protecting What Sustains Us
with Carolyn Bjerke and Ellen Deeb
Sunday Jan 25, 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Urgency tells us there is no time to rest. Despair tells us joy is frivolous. But both are powerful tools of harm.

This service explores resistance as the protection of what keeps us human: rest, joy, tenderness, and attention to our own limits. Drawing from spiritual traditions that insist we are more than what we produce or endure, we reflect on how exhaustion dulls our moral clarity—and how care restores it.

Hi folks- the bad actors are at it again. If you get a text from Rev. Maddie, make sure that it is really her number. She would never ask for assistance, gifts cards, funds, bail or anything else through a text. Somehow they got hold of a directory of the Universalist Unitarian Church of Santa Paula since all the scam texts she has received have gone to members and friends of UUCSP, not knowing that she is no longer the settled minister. Be vigilant in these times.

Canvass Sunday: Justice as a UU Value
Lay Speaker: Kate English

Please join us for our annual Canvas Kickoff Sunday where we will be examining in depth the named UU value of Justice. During a time when many feel democracy is under threat, the UU value of justice invites us to work to build diverse multicultural Beloved Communities where all thrive using inclusive democratic processes to make decisions within our congregations. Pledging our funds and services is part of our internal democratic process and how we "live" justice. This Sunday we will be asked to examine our relationship and responsibilities to the value of justice.

♥Kate English will share her thoughts on Justice this Sunday and she hopes to see you all! ♥

If you are the pledging kind, don't forget to bring your pledge card!
