Invisible People: Prisoners

,

This Sunday Tara Hawkins will present her first talk of the “Invisible People” series: Prisoners. She will be talking about the war on drugs, the privatization of prisons, gangs, tattoos, prostitution, and slavery. Cache Valley Unitarian Universalists is a lay-led congregation. Rather than relying on a full-time minister, members and friends of our congregation and invited guests, give of their time and talents to provide our worship experience, mirroring the diversity each of us brings to this community.

Alternative Gift Market

,

This Sunday’s service will focus on the Alternative Gift Market (AGM). Jenny Norton will give some perspective on the AGM in Cache Valley and the parent organization ( www.altgifts.org ). We will be talking about the Alternative Gift Market and how our involvement in this effort reflects UU principles and builds the interfaith community in Cache Valley. There will be a focus on gratitude for our friends, family and community.

Poetry as Ceremony

,

Star Coulbrooke, Logan’s poet laureate gives us a homily/presentation titled Poetry as Ceremony. An excerpt: “Poems express the depth of human emotion through scenes and images created from our most harrowing or sorrowful or joyous memories. Poems help us find meaning in those memories, meaning that evolves to make us resilient and vibrant and hopeful. Poetry brings us together in the bonds of language and experience.” After her presentation Star will lead us in a participatory poetry experience. Content warning: there will be some non-explicit mention of sexual assault/the “me too” movement.
