This Sunday we have visiting minister the Rev. Kevin Mann leading the service. Worship Associate: courtney singer.
The late civil rights activist John Lewis called us to: “Not get lost in a sea of despair and to never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” Week after week, year after year, Unitarian Universalists gather to build the Beloved Community that centers people from the margins, fosters collective liberation, and reminds us that we are not alone in our quest for life saving liberal religion. Come and get in good trouble with me!

Kevin Alan Mann (he/him/siyá) is serving as a Chaplain with Sequoia Hospice. He completed his Master of Divinity and Master of Arts in Social Change from Starr King School for the Ministry in 2016.
