Love on the Line August 18, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Online and in-person Rev. Dr. Matthew Johnson
In the current political and social context, how do we let love guide us? What does love ask of us in how we relate to our neighbors? How might we practice loving speech and deeds – love that is truthful, and courageous, but also kind? Words of encouragement and hope for the season before us.
We will share the plate with RAMP
RAMP is a non-profit, non-residential Center for Independent Living (CIL) that emulates the Independent Living Philosophy with a mission to build an inclusive community that encourages individuals with disabilities to reach their full potential. RAMP services enrich individual’s lives. Oftentimes we meet with individuals who have experienced a traumatic or life-changing event (i.e. child recently diagnosed with a disability, accident resulting in permanent disability, etc.). These life-changing events can leave an individual reeling, as well as their family, and not knowing where to turn or what to do. It is this grassroots effort and philosophy to “meet someone where they are at” that drives this organization. Click Here to Donate

August 18th Our Story with Rev. Matthew
UU 2030: Young Adult 20s and 30s Ministry Workshop Sunday, August 25 11:30 – 1:30
Join members and staff for a workshop and spiritual discussion to kickstart a new 20s and 30s young adult ministry at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Rockford. Facilitated by the ministry advisory group UU 2030, we will begin building a dedicated, spiritually-focused community for folks in their 20s and 30s that will include weeknight spiritual discussion groups, socials, potlucks, and more. We’ll learn how UU 2030 kickstarted their first program at Neighborhood UU Church of Pasadena, CA, and went from an initial 4 to over 40 active participants in their programs.
If you are a member or visitor in your 20s or 30s, this is for you and we’d love for you to join. Childcare will be provided.
