Looking at Fathers and Fatherhood
Rev. Dr. Roger Jones and presenters from the congregation, Worship Associate Andy Cramer, Music Director Anthony Tavianini, Pianist Irina Tchantceva
Several UUSS people will reflect on fatherhood, whether as parents or mentors ourselves or as recipients or observers of a father’s care and role-modeling. Among other feelings, our experiences have included appreciation, humor, joy, disappointment, sadness, and inspiration. Let’s consider how our observations and experiences continue to shape our attitudes and actions today. If you have input for this service, please contact Rev. Roger by June 8.
- Before the service: Tai Chi/Qi Gong at 9:30 in the Fahs Room.

Question Box

It’s here! The annual service when you can ask Rev. Lucy any question you want (within reason).
What is the meaning of life? Which vegetable is closest to God? Where can you find the best donut in Sacramento? All are questions that Rev. Lucy is willing to answer.
Questions offered in advance are greatly appreciated, email Lucy@uuss.org. But there will be an opportunity to propose your question that morning. We will select some out of the question box for Rev Lucy to answer on the spot. She may even have some questions for you.

Diyos sa Gugma (God of Love): Building Bridges with the UU Church of the Philippines (UUCP)
Rev. Kevin Alan Mann preaching with Rev. Dr. Roger Jones, Worship Associate Celia Buckley Music Director Anthony Tavianini, Pianist Irina Tchantceva
There are over 3,000 Unitarian Universalists in the Philippines in 24 congregations and 15 newly forming fellowships. Most are located in remote rural farming and fishing villages. What can UUs from the Philippines teach us about their unique expression of our shared global faith? How can building bridges of mutuality guide American UUs on our path of becoming the anti-racist, multicultural, multi-racial church our faith calls us to be?
Rev. Kev (he/him/siyá) is an affiliated minister at First Unitarian Church of Oakland, which ordained him in 2023. He serves as a Chaplain at Sequoia Hospice, Faculty Advisor at Starr King School for the Ministry, and Consultant for Partnership with the UU Church of the Philippines. He founded the California chapter of Diverse Revolutionary UU Multicultural Ministries), hosting quarterly retreats for BIPOC UUs. His ministry is rooted in Collective Liberation where none of us are free until all of us are free.
Note: In today’s offering, 100% of all non-pledge contributions will be given to support the UU Church of the Philippines. If you send a check to the UUSS Office, please note UUCP on the memo line.
