| | What does it mean to make Love a force for transformation in a world shaped by punishment, isolation, and injustice? Drawing on the work of the Unitarian Universalist Prison Ministry of Illinois, this service explores how acts of compassion become acts of resistance. Together, we will reflect on our UU values, the practice of solidarity with incarcerated people, and the ways that courageous love can transform both individual lives and the systems we inhabit.
BIOS:
Keith Talley (him/him) is a system-impacted Muslim leader working at the crossroads of reentry, faith, and narrative justice. He serves as Prison Solidarity Specialist with the Unitarian Universalist Prison Ministry of IL, Reentry Program Coordinator at Phalanx Family Services, and Founder & CEO of Revolutionary Reentry Hub. Introduced to UUPMI through the Pen Pal Program while caged, Keith found not a call to conversion, but a deep alignment of values. Today, he works to build bridges between spiritual traditions and to transform how we see, and stand with those returning from prison.
Rev. Allison Farnum (she/her/ella) is the Director and Minister of the Unitarian Universalist Prison Ministry of IL, and a lifelong Unitarian Universalist. She is dedicated to the vision of collective liberation, one mindful act of care at a time.

| | | Looking for an opportunity to connect with fellow congregants? This summer, we’re offering a fun and easy way to get to know someone new during each of our Community Hours.
After worship, grab a snack and beverage in Kreves Hall, before joining us in the sanctuary at 11:15 a.m. for Face to Face. Participants will be paired at random for two rounds of 15-minute conversations, with thoughtful conversation prompts provided to help spark meaningful connections. Unlike in the past, we are not serving lunch beforehand. Whether you’re new to the congregation or have been here for years, Face to Face is a wonderful way to deepen relationships and strengthen our community. Summer Community Hour Dates: July 12 and August 9. You do not need to pre-register. Just show up in the sanctuary at 11:15.
| | | Community Hour will continue on the second Sunday of each month throughout the summer. Join us after worship for refreshments, conversation, and opportunities to connect with fellow congregants. You'll also find information tables featuring upcoming events, programs, and ways to get involved. We hope you'll stay awhile and enjoy this time of community and connection.

| | Women’s Wisdom Quarterly Gathering: "The Things We Carry"
Saturday, July 11, 2026, 12:30pm - 3:30pm
Let’s have a summer picnic!
When we go on picnics, we carry baskets and blankets, maybe games and hats! But we also carry more – our histories, our stories, our memories – challenges and triumphs.
DUUC women are invited to gather in community as we reflect on the things we carry, the things we choose to share, and the things we may be ready to release or celebrate. Through conversation, creativity, and ritual, may we find connection and compassion, and perhaps a little more lightness as we link arms and carry our picnic together!
