Dear SUUS Families,
Please join us for worship this Sunday as we celebrate Dr. King, think about what it means to be “woke,” and listen to the Story for All, “Black Lives; Past and Present,” presented by Laura Martino and Soule Golden. Come and learn about the work and legacy of these amazing individuals and to see the artwork they inspired our FF children to create. You won’t want to miss it!
A special thanks to Laura, Soule, the Racial Justice Group and all who contributed to this meaningful project.
I hope to see you on Sunday morning at 10:30am on Zoom and then at SUUS for an outdoor FF gathering at 1pm. It’s so good to be together!
Love,
Amy
