SUMMARY:May Worship: Catching the Holy
DESCRIPTION:Our spiritual ancestors often spoke of holiness and living holy lives as a form of devotion to the Almighty. How might we\, as contemporary practitioners\, do the same in ways that are authentic to our experiences of the divine and lived realities\, while still holding tenderly to the wisdom of those who have gone before?

SUMMARY:Stories from the Deep: June BLUU Worship
DESCRIPTION:In times of crisis and collapse\, it can be difficult to see the examples of cooperation and sustainability all around us; to believe that it can be better than it is right now. The world of our older non-human relatives rests on interconnected cycles of death\, rebirth\, and alignment. As the seasons change\, we will explore three stories from the deep sea.

SUMMARY:Risk Discernment in Justice Movements: A Panel for BIPOC Communities
DESCRIPTION:​In a climate of intensifying political pressure\, targeting of those who dissent\, and erosion of constitutional rights\, how do we continue to move forward in justice work while protecting ourselves and our communities? \n​DRUUMM and BLUU are partnering for a vital\, timely panel discussion on risk discernment for people of the global majority (Black\, Indigenous\, and people of color). Together\, we will dive into the questions these tumultuous times demand: \n❓What is the moment calling us to do?\n❓How do we maneuver to speak out boldly AND stay safe?\n❓How is faith informing how we show up? \n​Join us for a critical conversation grounded in love\, faith\, and community care\, followed by an open Q&A. \n​✨ Featured Panelists:\n​Lena K. Gardner (Executive Director\, BLUU)\n​Atena Danner (Organizing Director\, UU Action Network of Illinois)\n​Rev. Kevin Mann (Co-Director\, DRUUMM California) \n️ Move with us in community.
