Our Sunday services are at 9 & 11am, unless otherwise noted.

Jan. 18 - Saying the F Word with Rev. Jessica Clay and music from the WBUUC Choir

Special Social Hour - Meet your geographical neighbors

This Sunday, in the spirit of connecting with fellow church members who are also neighbors, we’re going to be gathering in the social hall after each of the two services to gather with people who live near us. Many of you have expressed a desire to know more about ways to resist the current ICE occupation (in small ways and large). Our hope for this Sunday is that we can gather in geographically oriented groups to meet our “neighbors” and brainstorm ways of mutual support, mutual aid, find “protest buddies” and just plain connection.

Jan. 25 - The Nonviolent Commitment with Cas Burr and music from Willow Waters

Feb. 1 - Small Indomitable Voices with Rev. Kristin Maier and music from the WBUUC Choir

About the evening’s programming: Precinct caucuses are local, grassroots meetings run by Minnesota’s political parties. Attendees discuss issues, choose delegates for higher-level party conventions and can influence party platforms. Join long-time WBUUC member Dick Ottman who can answer all your questions and give you the confidence to attend a caucus and become a delegate yourself.

Feeling overwhelmed by current events? Looking for an opportunity to connect with others on a deeper level? Sign up for a Connection Circle. Starting in February and running through April, these small groups will meet twice a month to foster connection and a sense of belonging while inviting participants to offer some deep sharing around some simple thought-engaging questions.

Please plan to attend our next quarterly Town Hall meeting this month. The meeting will follow the Welcome Wednesday evening meal on Jan. 21. Agenda items will include updates to the Nested Bowls Ends Process and financial status. We’ll also have community conversation time to allow attendees to speak and ask questions. Hope to see you there!

In response to the presence of ICE in the metro area and out of an abundance of caution, the front doors of the building will be locked – during business hours (Tue-Thu, 10am-4pm) as well as during evening programming and Sunday mornings. We are looking for volunteers to serve as Door Monitors for Wednesday Evenings and Sunday Mornings.

What will a door monitor do?

The sole purpose of a door monitor is to close a locked door if it is obvious that ICE vehicles are in the parking lot and/or ICE agents are approaching our front door. The ONLY responsibility of the door monitor is to close the door (which will already be locked) before any ICE agent gets to the front door. There is no obligation of engaging with any federal officers. There will be no engagement with the ICE officers. The door monitor’s job will be to AVOID engaging with or conversing with the ICE offers. Questions? Contact Rev. Jack
