Whose country?  Joanne Gabrynowicz will share another story of coming to America. She is the granddaughter of immigrants who both struggled and who were empowered by some of the enlightened immigration policies of their day, and by extension, so was Joanne. She says she is now an “endangered species.”  A retired law professor with expertise in space law and an undergraduate degree in American and British history, Joanne has a keen appreciation of the Constitution, its roots and the meaning of “We, the People.” She will share her own story as the beneficiary of the policies that met her four grandparents when they arrived in this country in the early 20th Century.  ​

​We are a welcoming congregation, but due to security concerns we are unable to publish the link to this service.  We invite you to join us by emailing Sandra Moss at uucostaffer@gmail.com to get the link sent to you.  Services start at 11:00 AM with "doors open" at 10:30 AM.  

Whose country? How do working-class people answer that question? How are their lives defined by the options and opportunities they have — or don’t have? How does nationalism prevent the flourishing of international solidarity, and how can we overcome boundaries and borders? Shruti Iyer and Jaz Brisack, who became friends studying labor law and history at Oxford University in England, are passionate about advocating for the world's working people and will discuss these issues with us.

​Sunday, July 5 Morning Service  -- 11am, via Zoom

Speakers: Members and Friends of UUCO
Service Leader: Eunice Benton
 
On this weekend when Independence Day – the 4th of July – is once again the holiday we note, and in a week when our state has made the historic move of retiring the flag that contained the Confederate battle emblem in its corner, our service addresses the personal and spiritual feelings of patriotism.  At this pivotal time in history, how do we feel about being citizens of our country – and our state… and our town?  When do we feel proud and loyal?  When do we feel dismayed and ashamed, even?  How do our individual life experiences and identities shape what we feel?
 
Voices from our UUCO community will address these questions… and then our gathered community will continue to explore them during our coffee hour.
 
This theme will be further explored in coming Sundays in July…
