Service and Social Justice Committee

As members and volunteers, we are committed to doing our part to help save the world by saving the world within our reach.

Our motto can be summed up in three words:
Awareness - Vision - Action.

Our mission is to create “More hope, More Love and More Joy” in our world.

Our direction is lit by the flaming chalice, the symbol of our Unitarian Universalist faith.

Got Signatures?

If you are planning on going to GA 2008, this is an important call to action from your Service and Social Justice Committee.

On Wednesday, June 25th, from 4:45 - 6:00 pm, there will be a Florida District Ingathering at GA (Room - Floridian D) to discuss the adoption of an Action of Immediate Witness [AIW] against the Florida Marriage Protection Amendment.

Since River of Grass members voted as a congregation to make this our social justice issue for 2008, it is important that we step forward together and establish a strong presence at this important ingathering.

Our task will be to gather signatures from GA delegates who are attending GA from all over the country. Simply carry a clipboard with the AIW petition and gather the signatures at any of the sessions you choose to attend on Thursday the 26th and Friday the 27th.

If we collect enough signatures, the AIW will be adopted and become an official proclamation of our denomination.

This is an important time to step forward, take up a clipboard, and do your part to support our congregational message of “More Hope, More Love, More Joy” by taking an active role in defeating the Florida Marriage Amendment in November.

There’s no better time to organize our support than at GA!

Please Contact me at: mlorpol@comcast.net to let me know you'll be there! I'd like to organize our River of Grass Teams before the Ingathering session.
