SUMMARY:Solidarity: Celebrating Labor and Labor Day
DESCRIPTION:Laura Gordon\n \n\nOn Labor Day we rest and enjoy the last days of summer. We should not forget that the collective actions of organized labor are responsible for us being able to rest\, to have an 8 hour work day and a minimum wage. Rising union membership after WWII lead to an expanding middle class\, but the decline of unions since the Regan era contributed to widening wealth inequality. Today\, labor unions are finding new solidarity across many sectors\, which is certainly a reason to celebrate this Labor Day.\n\n\n~Open hearts\, open minds\, room for all theologies\, including yours~\n  \nWe are meeting in person at the First Presbyterian Church of Astoria. The service will also be live-streamed via Zoom for those who are not comfortable attending in person.  Masks are now optional but strongly advised. If you are not feeling well\, please wear a mask\, or attend via Zoom. \n  \n \nReligious Education for Children will occur during the regular service. \nContact Adriana at Puufreligioused@Pacuuf.org for more information. \n  \n \n\nJoin us for Coffee Hour after the service in Fellowship Hall!

SUMMARY:The Change We Hope to Bring (video sermon)
DESCRIPTION:Rev.  Phil Lund \nOutreach means much more than leaving literature about Unitarian Universalism around town. In fact\, UUA’s Outreach Director Carey MacDonald said in a blog: “When you talk about what your congregation offers\, think ‘join our cause’ instead of ‘join our club.’ Show what your congregation does\, how it helps people live better lives and make a better world\, instead of only talking about what a great community you offer.” PUUF is building our beloved community\, so how can we reach out beyond our doors? Reverend Lund preaches in this video sermon. \n  \n~Open hearts\, open minds\, room for all theologies\, including yours~\n  \nWe are meeting in person at the First Presbyterian Church of Astoria. The service will also be live-streamed via Zoom for those who are not comfortable attending in person.  Masks are now optional but strongly advised.

SUMMARY:Reparations for Black Americans
DESCRIPTION:Laura Gordon \nSlavery\, Jim Crow and continued systemic racism have resulted in a racial wealth gap between Black and White Americans.  Many advocate for cash reparations.  But repairing the harm will require more than just a onetime cash payment.  True repentance and repair for centuries of horrific violence is needed.  According to Maimonides’ Law of Repentance\, there are five steps we need to undertake:  1) confession\, or naming and owning the harm; 2) transformation; 3) making amends\, or restitution and accepting consequences; 4) apology; and 5) making different choices.  So while cash reparations may help to close the racial wealth gap\, only true repentance and repair will end white supremacy culture. \n  \n~Open hearts\, open minds\, room for all theologies\, including yours~\n  \nWe are meeting in person at the First Presbyterian Church of Astoria.

SUMMARY:Institutional and Systemic Racism
DESCRIPTION:Tina Martineau \nInstitutional Racism is the term for forms of racism structured into the nation’s political and social institutions. Segregation\, red-lining\, and other such forms of active racism have been outlawed\, but the effects they had are still present today. We must be aware of this and actively work to address these ongoing issues as part of the fight against racism. \nTina has a BS in Sociology with minors in Anthropology and Psychology from Montana State University\, where she studied socio-cultural issues\, their historical roots\, and how they affected different social groups. Her focus on Justice Studies included classes on law and inequality and race and ethnicity. She observed some of these issues and biases first-hand working as a Detention Officer for 6 years at the Gallatin County Detention Center. \n\n\n~Open hearts\, open minds\, room for all theologies\, including yours~\n  \nWe are meeting in person at the First Presbyterian Church of Astoria.
