The theme for the month of February revolves around Unitarian Universalists who have made an impact on the society and culture of their times. Some are famous, some are not, and some may be completely unknown to the general public, but all have made creative contributions to the society of their time and place. Sunday February 5th we will focus on Linda Barnes, who has been a champion of food diversity and sustainable agriculture. More about this notable biology professor and seminarian may be found here.

Rev. Ed’s sermon title is “Linda Barnes: Champion of Change.” Also, this Sunday, we will all share in a communion ritual similar to a Flower Communion. Please bring a packet of seeds, or a locally grown or organic fruit, vegetable or herb to share at the Earth’s Bounty Communion.

Additionally, in Sunday’s service, we will be raising awareness and seeking the support of every person in the congregation to joining the 42-42-42 Food Ethics Action program. What is the 42-42-42 Food Ethics Action program? It is a call for 42 men, women and children of OCUUC, beginning March 11th and culminating on Earth Day, April 22, to be committed for a period of 42 days leading up to the 42nd Earth Day, to taking action of their choice with respect to food ethics. Please see our website for more details.
