  • Water Communion

    East Shore Unitarian Church 12700 SE 32nd Street, Bellevue, WA, United States

    The Unitarian Universalist Water Communion was created in 1980 by activist Carolyn McDade and UU leader Lucile Shuck Longview at the Women and Religion Continental Convocation, designed as a feminist symbol of empowerment, connectedness, and life. 
    You are invited to bring a small amount of water to the service from a place that is special to you. During the service, you are invited to pour the water into a large bowl and say a few words about why this water is special to you. The combined water is symbolic of our beautiful diversity and our ongoing collective commitment to give life to justice, hope, and liberation.

  • Arpilleras/Sacred Stitches: Lessons from Latin-American Liberation Theology

    East Shore Unitarian Church 12700 SE 32nd Street, Bellevue, WA, United States

    Resistance can take many shapes. Now more than ever, we need to build strong mutual aid networks, to pool our resources, and live into our values by centering love. Mutual aid relies on solidarity and shared power, allowing communities to protect and sustain vulnerable groups when their human rights are under attack. It also relies on stitching together our stories to counter fear and isolation.
