Many people these days are frustrated about the contentious, divisive nature of civic discourse, especially what they saw and heard during this past election year.  They are fearful about what the future might bring.  However, they’d rather not spend their time endlessly doom scrolling online sources of news.  They prefer to channel their concerns about society in more positive directions.

This approach applies to many members of the Sedona Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.  They feel compassion for the people in our community (and beyond) who struggle economically.  But they don’t simply stand by idly, hoping our newly elected officials will come up with legislation to fix what’s not working.  They look around to see how they themselves might be of help, and they step up to do what they can to make a positive difference.

At Sunday morning SUUF services, attendees gather with other caring  people to cheerfully learn about, discuss, and take constructive action regarding a variety of concrete local issues that need attention.

At SUUF they also have the opportunity to participate in several mid-week gatherings to discuss meaningful films, informative books, perplexing ethical dilemmas, social justice campaigns, plans for interfaith community events, ways to handle the challenges of aging, arrangements for lively social activities, and other topics that they find stimulating, worthwhile, and uplifting.
