Mill Creek’s First Annual Democracy “Woke Vote” Challenge

As UU’s, it’s a priority for us to consider our participation in the political process seriously – even as a part of our spiritual practice. That’s why we will be hosting our first annual “Woke Vote” Challenge this September!

​In a Jeopardy-like challenge, we’ll share questions with our teens (in teams) about our democratic process and encourage them as they aspire to become responsible voters. We’ll serve pizza, have a few icebreakers, and get to know one another – EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

We will have some fun and applaud the passion of our Young People! Bring your friends, your appetite… and your democracy knowledge. Adults are welcome to participate too!

Coming this Fall! Adult RE Workshop: The Work that Reconnects

Saturdays: Sept 15 and 29; Oct 13 & 27, 9 am – 1 pm

​Deepening global crises surround us, causing many to fall prey to denial and despair. In this workshop we will explore how grief, anger and fear are healthy responses to the harsh realities of our time, and that when honored through the practice of The Work that Reconnects, they can free us from paralysis and move us toward creative action. this class is based on the work of Joanna Macy, Chris Johnstone, Molly Young Brown, et al. Facilitated by Julia Smagorinsky.
