Beginning in October, we will, once a month, share the non-designated portion of the Sunday morning offering, as a means of strengthening our connections with the wider community and living our principles. To qualify, recipients must be non-political, local, registered non-profit organizations whose principles are congruent with Unitarian Universalism, and for whom our donations would make a significant difference.

After the service on September 12, the congregation will select the first three recipients, from the list below. Come and be part of this important initiative!

  1. Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan Provides help to educate women in Afghanistan
  2. Hands of Hope Provides furniture and household goods to people in need
  3. Immigrant Refugee Community of Manitoba Integrates newcomer families into the wider community
  4. Rossbrook House A neighbourhood centre for children and youth in Winnipeg's inner-city
  5. Andrew Street Family Centre A multi-service family and neighbourhood support centre
  6. GOAL (a program of Elmwood Resource Community Centre) An adult literacy program
  7. Boys and Girls Club Provides a safe, supportive place for children and youth
  8. Friends of the Winnipeg Library Raises money to benefit the library
  9. The West Central Women’s Resource Centre Empowers women to help themselves, their families and their community

Choosing What We Worship

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his younger years a Unitarian minister, wrote, “A person will worship something—have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts... but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives and character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming.” In a world where consumption, financial gain, power and competition tend to shape the common culture, it is all the more important that we choose carefully; that we intentionally shape and clarify what centers our lives; that we experience worship.
