UUJusticePA is a small but powerful state advocacy network that unites Pennsylvania UUs and people of conscience to speak truth to power in Harrisburg and ensure love ripples across the Commonwealth. Your contribution goes to the UUJusticePA Education Fund, a sister 501(c)(3) organization that promotes related educational initiatives across the state.
As Unitarian Universalists, we covenant to affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person. We endeavor to create beloved communities and to uphold the democratic process. But these values cannot live on the pages of our principles alone. They require bold, sustained action in our state capital and within our local communities. That is why UUJusticePA exists. Every step toward justice requires dedicated action. Your generosity funds:
Education that builds awareness around our seven social justice team initiatives;
Grassroots mobilization and partnerships with aligned advocacy organizations;
Statewide legislative tracking to keep Pennsylvania’s 36 UU congregations informed on critical bills through targeted advocacy alerts; and
Organizing strategies that connect Pennsylvanians directly to their lawmakers every day.
As the Sufi poet, Rumi proclaims, “When all seems dark around you, look again, you may be the light.” Your donation ensures a persistent, progressive faith voice remains strong in PA policy.
REMEMBER: Write “Plate” on your check’s memo if you want half of your gift to go to this month’s designated non-profit; write “Pledge” if you want it to count towards your annual pledge; checks with no memo designation will go to Unpledged Gifts and support the church’s operating budget.

"Forgiveness and Humanity"
Rev. Bran Lennox
If I say "I forgive you," what do I really mean by that? Making forgiveness meaningful is more complicated than we sometimes pretend. We draw from our Universalist ancestry in considering how we honor the inherent dignity of all our fellow human beings.
Members and friends can submit joys and/or sorrows to be read (with your permission) during a Sunday service. Submissions sent before Friday at noon will be read that Sunday, all others will be held for the next week.
