No Kings 3
Sat, Mar 28, 10 am
Santa Fe Roundhouse x
This major nationwide event is our chance to show support for democracy and the rule of law, and to protest violations of human rights, the illegal war, the slide toward oligarchy or whatever concerns you most. Music will begin at the Roundhouse at 10 am, followed by presentations at 11 am. Two marches will begin around noon, one circumnavigating the Capitol and one going to the Plaza. UU Santa Fe volunteers will be at the corner of Don Gaspar and Paseo de Peralta at 10:15 am with our “Unitarian Universalists for Social Justice” banner, and you are encouraged to join us as we proceed to the Capitol. Don’t forget to wear your yellow hat and/or “Side with Love” t-shirt and carry the sign of your choice. We hope to join up with other marchers from the Santa Fe Interfaith Coalition on Immigration to create a strong faith-based presence. |
A proper community, we should remember also, is a commonwealth: a place, a resource, an economy. It answers the needs, practical as well as social and spiritual, of its members - among them the need to need one another.—Wendell Berry |
At UU Santa Fe, worship is an experience we create together―not in adoration of a god―but rather a celebration of awe, wonder and the sacred. Our Sunday Gatherings are one of the ways we live into community, coming together to greet one another in person or online. We meet at 10:30 am each Sunday morning. Details on each week are found on our Gatherings page. |

UUWFUnitarian Universalist Women's Fellowship (UUWF)
UUWF is a community of women seeking to enrich the lives of its participants as well as the lives of the women and children of Santa Fe through donations to local Santa Fe charities. UUWF activities are open to any woman in the community, and it’s not necessary to be member of UU Santa Fe to participate. For more information about UUWF and to receive our emails about upcoming events, email us at [email protected]. |
Men’s Odyssey (a Men’s Friendship Group)An odyssey is a long wandering or voyage usually marked by many changes of fortune; an intellectual or spiritual quest. Open to any man in the community, Men’s Odyssey meets at 7 pm in the church library and on Zoom every first Tuesday of the month to discuss matters of mutual interest; on the third Tuesday at 7 pm the group chooses an activity which may or may not be at UU Santa Fe. Past activities have included bowling, poker, pool and bocce ball. In the fall there is a weekend retreat which participants have greatly enjoyed. The group considers service to UU Santa Fe to be an important part of its activities and has, for example, assisted at weddings and memorial services, as well as UU Santa Fe fundraisers. For more information please contact Rod Morgan or the office.
Men's Odyssey Covenant We gather for fellowship, mutual support, moral centering and spiritual growth. We hold meetings, share activities, gather for yearly retreats—and share from the heart. |

Justice CouncilThe Justice Council is participating in a Border Justice Project with a network of New Mexico faith communities (mostly UUs and Friends) that are providing assistance to asylum-seekers at the southern border. These immigrants have entered the U.S. legally and are in shelters in New Mexico waiting to travel to their sponsors elsewhere in the country. Their final asylum hearings will not occur for months or years from now. They have nothing! The UU Fellowship in Silver City collects supplies and transports them to shelters in Deming and Palomas.

SUPPORTING those in NeedMarch Giving | Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety (CCNS)
This month’s First Sunday Giving donations will go to Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety (CCNS). In 1988 Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) proposed trucking plutonium-contaminated waste down St. Francis Drive to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. In response, CCNS formed. CCNS organizes teach-ins, a weekly radio show, a Santa Fe Art Bash Against Hot Trash, peaceful demonstrations, congressional testimony and more. (LANL changed its plans.) Learn more at nuclearactive.org. Learn more about our First Sunday Giving Program! |
