 Greetings fellow UUs and supporters! We are meeting IN PERSON and on Zoom until further notice. We are going to begin Movie Night again! We would like your suggestion on the best day for you to view 'Hamilton' at church: Friday June 24th, Monday June 27th, Thursday June 30th, or Friday July 1st. You can reply to this email with your preferred answer. Thanks! Our theme for June is 'Working Toward a Better Future'. The world -- as wonderful as relationships and the natural world are -- is in trouble. Protecting our planet calls for justice work -- the call to preserve and repair the world. The foundation for this was done by the Rev. Richard Gilbert in which he explored the connections between spirituality and social action. This call for us to do justice work is termed 'A Prophetic Imperative.' --- Sunday, June 26th Service:  We will watch a TED Institute video presentation by David Farrell that identifies the key driver of mass shootings in the US. Chris will present ways to support common sense gun laws.
 Please visit us either in person at 1119 Johnston St. or on Zoom: tinyurl.com/zoomuulala or via the link at uulala.org. We visit with coffee and snacks from 10:30-11 am. The service runs from 11 am until 12 noon. After the service every second Sunday of the month we have a potluck dinner. On other Sundays we go out to eat at a local restaurant. Everyone is invited! --- Last Sunday's service recap: Ola Prejean and Dr. Francesco Crocco presented last Sunday on the present and future projects of our partner justice organization Move the Mindset (MTM). This organization and it's allies were instrumental in the removal of the Confederate statue in downtown Lafayette, Louisiana and are dedicated to the education and promotion of the true history of our community.
