Join us on our church patio on Thursday May 16 at 7:00 PM as our minister, Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair and The A Street Band, lead by Dr. Bob Fuson, reinterpret the practice of tent revival through a contemporary Unitarian Universalist lens.
This is one of the services we look forward to the most. The A Street Band has a strong foundation in bluegrass, folk, and Americana. This service plays to our strengths and allows us to engage in some “musical reclamation."

Each year our members vote for ten local non-profit organizations for our Share the Plate Program. Each month, with two exceptions, we select one Sunday and give the offering plate to one of the recipients.
The Share the Plate recipient for May 2024 is Center for People. We will be joined by Macala Carter, Executive Director, who will share more information about their important work. Learn more: www.centerforpeople.org You may contribute to Center for People anytime during the month of May 2024. If you would like to donate to Share the Plate, you can read about your options here: www.unitarianlincoln.org/donate You may have heard in service or in your classrooms what we’ve been referring to as “Article II” -- this is the part of the Unitarian Universalist Association's (UUA's) bylaws with the Seven Principles in it (as well as the UU Sources and Purpose statements.) (www.uua.org)
The Article II Study Commission is a group of UUs who were asked to look at the principles and sources and see whether they might need to change...and how. They came up with a new idea. Instead of principles, we would have Values and a Covenant that bind us together. To help us remember the new proposed words in Article II, Rev Elizabeth Mount created the acronym JETPIG which stands for: J: Justice E: Equity T: Transformation P: Pluralism I: Interconnection G: Generosity (and Love) Take our own stuffed JETPIG on an adventure for a week and upload a photo to our Jetpig Facebook page or email to me [email protected] while exploring one of the new proposed principles living our UU values! If you want to take JETPIG on an adventure, check in with Chelsea or the church office.
