Second Wednesdays beginning September 10, LMH Main Room, 7-8:30pm. A newly forming Indivisible Democracy Defense Community Team is being organized to promote resistance to rising authoritarianism and threats to our democracy. Indivisible is the nationwide organization that has been a key organizer of the No Kings and Good Trouble resistance marches. This is an action-oriented group. Now, Indivisible leaders are encouraging the formation of community-based teams to engage in non-cooperation with the rise of authoritarianism in this country through non-violent resistance. Organizers for this community gathering are Barbara Dowd, Nicole Whelan, and Rev. Jane Tuohy. Individuals who are interested should contact Rev. Jane at jane.tuohy@frsuu.org.

2nd and 4th Tuesdays, April 14 and 28, May 12 and 26, June 9, LMH Main Room, 6:30-8pm. The June 23 meeting has been moved to June 30. Mystic Circles is a gathering of individuals who have interest in sharing and affirming their own experiences of the Divine, the holy, and the Sacred, and worshiping together. We are very diverse from the perspective of religious/spiritual backgrounds and orientations. We share a commitment to staying open to mystery. Mysticism is about an attitude of receptivity. Throughout the ages, mystics have sought union with the Divine—with God (however you define God)—through a variety of spiritual practices. Mysticism is not about a set of beliefs or dogma; rather it is about the felt experience of longing for union with the Holy and of belonging to something larger than yourself. Sometimes mystical moments can be about ordinary experiences of awe and wonder. In Mystic Circles we bear witness to one another’s experiences, share our questions, and create embodied worship practices. No previous experience with mysticism is required. We practice non-judgmental listening and freedom of expression as we each listen to each other and our own deepest selves. For more information, please email Rev. Jane Tuohy at Jane.tuohy@frsuu.org.
Second Saturdays, Lower Meetinghouse Main Room, 8-11am.
Thursday, May 7, LMH Main Room and Parish Hall 1st Floor, 6:30pm. FRSUU and other faith-based, labor, and social justice groups in the Newburyport area are working with the Merrimack Valley Project to form a coalition to protect the rights of everyone who lives here. The Merrimack Valley Project works to unite groups to work toward social, racial, and economic justice, especially for immigrant and other marginalized communities. We are facing unprecedented threats to our immigrant neighbors and friends. How can we work together to ensure that our community is safe for them? Join us for a workshop on how to strengthen communities through organizing, and to start the conversation on what we can do to protect our neighbors and prepare for the challenges of the future. Sign up to join us here!
