Our Sunday Service: May 3rd
Summary:
Covenants! You can't live with them and you can't live without them. They are born when we ask ourselves “who am I?” and then go deeper to ask, “to whom am I accountable”? (Yes, having a conscience isn't easy).
We answer this question with the promises we recite to one another every week...and the promises are called a "covenant."
Join us this week as we explore why we humans need to suffer and enjoy the making, and keeping of our covenant.

![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.
