Paradise, Pirates, and the Work of Mutual Liberation
May 31 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Sunday, May 31, 10 a.m., “Imagining Libertatia: Paradise, Pirates, and the Work of Mutual Liberation,” Rev. Caitlin Cotter Coillberg: What can we learn from pirates of the 1700s about democracy and coming together across differences to challenge inequity and the forces of capitalism and empire? Join Rev. Caitlin Cotter Coillberg, Acting Minister of Religious Education for All Souls Church Unitarian in Washington D.C., for a service about Early Modern Piracy. Her message draws on the writings of Michel Foucault and from Rev. Dr. Rebecca Parker and Rita Nakashima Brock’s theological work, “Saving Paradise.”

Please feel free to stay home and enjoy our livestream if you have a fever, any other symptoms of illness, or if it’s simply a better option for you.

Memorial Day Classical Concert

This Memorial Day weekend marks one year since our beloved Beryl Martin passed away. Her daughter, Andreia Torain, and her string ensemble, Philalea, are scheduled to perform at UUSD on May 24 at 3 p.m. The concert is scheduled to be classical (Brahams, Debussy, and possibly one Scott Joplin piece as requested by Norman).

The group is a trio of classically trained musicians who will be performing on piano, cello, and violin. (Andreia is a violinist.) She sees the concert as a gift to UUSD in honor of her mother. It is free and open to the public so invite your friends and neighbors.

Thank You! Thank You!

Thank you seems inadequate for all the hard work that was put in behind the scenes to make this auction a success!!

But none of it would have been possible without all of your generous and creative donations and your willingness to bid to help raise funds for UUSSD.

So as our “Night At The Library” comes to a close, be proud of the fact that all of you are part of a community that pulls together to make such events possible!

Don’t miss the photos from the Kick-Off Dinner.

Sharing Our Stories

Each of us at UUSD has a different story to tell about how we found a spiritual home here. A few of us are life-long UUs but most are not, having come from a variety of other religious backgrounds or from no particular place of faith. Whatever our journey, sharing the stories of the paths we took helps connect us to each other and to the shared journey we are now making.
