A graphic honoring Juneteenth on a gray textured background. At the top, bold black text reads: “Honoring JUNETEENTH Freedom Day.” Below that, in italic script: “A day of truth, resilience, and liberation.” Surrounding the text are outlined illustrations of raised fists in the top corners. At the bottom center, a red, black, and green Pan-African flag waves on a flagpole, with silhouettes of protesters and raised signs in the background. The Unitarian Universalist Association chalice symbol is in the lower left corner, and “UUA.ORG ” is printed in black along the bottom.

❤️🖤💚 On Juneteenth, we honor the resilience of Black communities and the ongoing struggle for true liberation. As UUs, we recommit to dismantling white supremacy and ensuring that freedom is not symbolic but lived—every day, by all. #Juneteenth #UU #Liberation #BelovedCommunity

Do you even SPARC?! Huh? Spiritual and Progressive Adults’ Recreational Collective is where busy, young(ish) UU spiritual seekers come together for good vibes once a month. In June, we have a volunteer opportunity with the December 5th Foundation. So cool! Check it out!

We’ve all had our trust broken and we’ve broken others' trust. How do we restore ourselves to trust again?

A digital graphic features a screenshot from UU World, the magazine of the Unitarian Universalist Association. At the top, the UU World logo appears in blue text. Below it, the headline in bold black font reads: "UUA, Other Religious Groups Sue Trump Administration to Halt Immigration Arrests at Houses of Worship."

A subheading in smaller black text states: "The Trump policy allowing raids in houses of worship violates the First Amendment, the lawsuit argues." The byline attributes the article to Elaine McArdle and is dated 2/11/2025.

Below the text, there is an illustration with a stylized American flag background. The left side of the flag is blue with white, hand-drawn stars, while the right side features red and white stripes. In the foreground, there is a black and white sketch of a group of people walking in a line, including adults and children, carrying backpacks and holding hands as they move forward.

At the bottom of the image, a black rectangular banner with white bold text reads: "Read more at http://bit.ly/uuworld-immigration."

The UUA proudly joins a multifaith coalition & the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy & Protection in opposition to the federal government's rescission of ICE’s sensitive locations policy, which violates the 1st Amendment & the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Want to know what's happening at Eliot? (*whispers* our worship theme this month is Inclusion, we've got a great opportunity to have lunch with Rev. Krista next week, and a performance in the sanctuary later in the month with a local Living Legend! *winks*)
