New UU Class Continues This Sunday (1 November 2020)

The “New UU” class will continue this Sunday (25 October 2020) with facilitator Bennett Upton at 1:00 PM via Zoom.

This Week is “Session 5 — How Are Decisions Made? Governance and Polity.”

Bennett has started a new session of this course that offers insight into Unitarian Universalist history, theology, and practice as well as a deeper dive into our own congregation.

This is a great way to learn more about our faith and our church and to spend some time with other members in a small group setting.

It’s not just for newcomers and not just for those who’ve never taken it before — a refresher is always good.

“Scare Out the Vote!” will be happening across Louisiana on Saturday (31 October 2020) from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Get together on Zoom at 2:00 PM, get a list of voters in your neighborhood who haven’t voted yet, and either phone bank or safely hit the streets to be sure they turn out to vote.

Block captains should have received an envelope this week full of push cards and Together Louisiana “Precinct Organizing Project” swag for this.

Register here for Saturday’s call.

And if you haven’t voted yet, remember to vote no on Amendment 5 and tell your friends to do the same.

While you are there, you will have an opportunity to make a short video about why you are voting no on Amendment 5.
