World Water Day celebrates water and raises awareness that 2.2 billion people live without access to safe water. We are honored to welcome Rev. Dr. Clyde Grubbs and Rev. Karen Van Fossan into a conversation on this important and sacred day. They are defenders and protectors of water; two spiritual leaders in our UU movement who will help us build a heart-centered approach to a right relationship with Mother Earth and her waters.
The Winter Solstice occurs when Earth’s axis tilts away from the sun, making it the shortest day and longest night of the year for those living in the Northern Hemisphere. It also marks the time of celebration that daylight begins to grow to shed more light on us Earth! On this longest night, we featured the work of the Energy Democracy Project and shared a portion of our offering with them. Our service is part of the larger arc of Clean Energy as a Human Right being led by Side with Love.
A recording of our Jazz Vespers Worship Service hosted at Fourth Universalist. The worship and festival were made possible with funding generously provided by the New York State Convention of Universalists. The event was designed through “New York Unitarian Universalist Collaborates,” a working partnership among Fourth Universalist Society in the City of New York, Unitarian Universalist Ministry for Earth, and New York Unitarian Universalist Justice, the Empire’s State Unitarian Universalist legislative ministry. Ministers from around the area were involved in the evening service. This is a recording of that service.
