OOPS! THE AUDIO DOESN'T START UNTIL 18:48! OUR APOLOGIES
No, “The Day of the Dead” is not the title of the latest zombie movie. Far from it! This Sunday we will celebrate the cycle of life and death with our patented (well almost) Dia de los Muertos service. This celebration is commonly associated with our neighbors to the south, but it has gained popularity around the world and many UU congregations now embrace it as an annual event. Our service provides everyone with an opportunity to rejoice in the living memories of our lost loved ones. If you are attending in-person please bring a memento or picture of loved ones that are no longer with us for this celebration. "Thank you" to the people of Mexico for letting us share this wonderful celebration!

![May 4th - UU Values in Social Work: Being of Service During Trying Times
Ethan Milner
“Our tradition is brimming with stories of countless people of all cultural backgrounds who have given generously of themselves in service to others in large and small ways.” These words [slightly modified] are from the website of the Unitarian Universalist Association, discussing shared values of those whose lives have involved service to humanity.
In the May 4th church service, Social Worker Ethan Milner will show us from firsthand experience how so many people (whether they are UUs or not) can be outstanding exemplars of how to live by the values we cherish.
One such example is Jane Addams, an American pioneer in Social Work, who founded Hull House in 1889 to serve struggling families in Chicago. Although Addams was born into a well-to-do family in Illinois, she experienced her own hardships in life, losing her mother and four siblings in her youth, as well as enduring significant medical issues.
In Addams’ work we can see the primary Unitarian Universalist values of Interdependence, Justice, and Equity reflected in her mission to serve not only individuals, but to challenge larger systemic inequalities.
These ideas have helped to shape and guide the work of Ethan Milner, who will share insights from the two-and-a-half decades of his career in the helping professions.
