Sunday Services

Sunday, March 29, 2020 • 11:00 am
Celebrating 100 Years of Women’s Right to Vote: Looking forward to the next 100 Years of Women’s Right to Govern
Join us with Staten Island Women Who March (SIWWM)
For the past several years we have been celebrating American Women during Women’s History Month: the Lowell Mill Girls, the unsung Black heroines of the Civil Rights Movement, the Suffragists, both Black and White, and the American Woman herself in all her diversity.

In this service, Roxanne Mustafa, of SIWWM, will join us to celebrate the progressive, intersectional women activists who have been changing the social and political landscape here on S.I. since Staten Island women, in all their diversity, boarded busses and marched in Washington, D. C. on January 21, 2017

Courage to Let Go
With Rev. Emily DeTar Birt in the pulpit
Some might say it takes courage to hold fast to commitment, to hold on to something. Yet often, it takes far more courage to let go of our past, the narratives of who we used to be or the people and things that make up our lives. Reflecting on themes of loss and mourning, let us see the courage and wisdom that is part of letting go.

Loving Staten Island Friendship Dinner
March 15, 2020 • 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Hosted by the Unitarian Church of Staten Island

For a number of years now, the Staten Island Inter-Religious Leadership Council has been hosting Loving Staten Island Friendship Dinners, hosted by different houses of worship with the aim of people of different faiths and backgrounds getting to know one another and forming connections. They are held on the third Sunday of the month as vegetarian potlucks and all are encouraged to bring a dish to share.

The UCSI will be hosting the Friendship Dinner on March 15 from 5:30-7:30 in the Fellowship Hall. As the hosting site, we will need cooks to provide some trays of food that will be supplemented with the potluck dishes of attendees. We also need volunteers for set-up and clean-up. Please contact Mary Hernandez if you can help with this event. Set up will begin at 4:30pm on March 15. Whether you can volunteer or not, please mark your calendar and join us for this Friendship Dinner as we get to know our neighbors!
