You Get What You Get

Join us for a streamed sermon from First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City, followed by a brief time for reflection and discussion. We do ourselves at a great disservice when we only focus on the negative. It may be a more frightening time than many of us can remember.

With a lack of movement on reforming immigration policy and a growing anti immigration sentiment, the movement is again drawing attention. In this talk George Wooton will explain the history of the movement and how it may apply in this current political environment to our responsibility as members of CVUU and the Unitarian Universalist faith.
