This Sunday, Lillian Aponte Miranda from The Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project joins us to discuss immigration as one of the moral and human rights challenges of our time. She will share the challenges faced by immigrants at the U.S-Mexico border and within adult and child detention centers, and how we can center justice, human dignity, and hope in charting a path forward.

For our annual Flower Communion, bring a flower to share as we celebrate, beauty, gardens, natural growth and community. We will also be dedicating the youngest members of our community.

In 1894, Unitarian minister Rev. James Vila Blake wrote a covenant that became the backbone of the one said during each of UUCP's worship services. A few years ago, Rev. Sky Williams-Tao rewrote this covenant. Why would they do that? How did they do it? Come to hear about the rewriting journey, and for lots of UU lore.

In the series of our UU Values, we will be exploring the next value of Generosity, which connects us to both gratitude but also hope for what the future we can create. We will ground ourselves in our UU Values to kick off our Stewardship season. We will also welcome new members this morning.

We reflect on what it means to be a people who come together, covenant, and claim each other. This week's service will include opportunities for deep connection with each other, for quiet reflection on how we are known, and an examination of some of the words we recite each week.

On our Ministerial Intern Brigitta Vieryra's last Sunday with us, we will explore what we've learned about ministry through her: what she has learned, what we have learned and where do we go from here.
