Join Unitarian Universalist Ministry for Earth in the spirit of healing and liberation as we recognize the 250th anniversary of the United States.
Our Radical Reimagining Worship Service happened on Sunday, July 5th, 2026 on Zoom.
In acknowledgment of the United States of America’s 250th birthday, join UUMFE as we honor our country’s past while addressing its harm then and now in an effort to transmute our future into the loving and liberatory place we know that it can be so that we may reclaim “The American Dream”. When we heal ourselves, we heal seven generations backward and forward, so please join us as we transform ourselves in order to transform the world.
