The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) is condemning the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision (PDF, 118 pages) in the United States v. Skrmetti case that will harm the rights of transgender youth to receive gender affirming care in this country.
This three-session MUUSJA course offers an introduction to gender diversity and trans identity and equips you to respond to the current political attack on trans people.
Content includes trans 101, vital information to counter rampant anti-trans propaganda, and concrete actions that are needed in order for UU congregations to be spaces of safety and belonging to trans people and our families in this moment. We’ll also be discussing what you and your congregation can do to support trans refugee work in Minnesota.
The following events are offered to you on behalf of Chartiable Outreach Chair, Tim Wendt, who adds:
"Shoe drive, something new at WeCAN! Also, check out other fund raising events and participate if you like."

On Flag Day, Saturday, June 14, actions will take place all across the country during Donald Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C. People will come together instead to center the story of America and lift up the pro-democracy and pro-worker movements.

Dear LFUU Members and Friends,
This Sunday is the last before the Memorial Day weekend and, thus, our last program of 2024-2025 and the beginning of our summer break. As a lay-led congregation, our Program Committee needs this time to rest and recharge. A big thanks to Dan and Marnie for their planning, scheduling, creating, and leading of this past program year. It inspired, educated, and delighted us!
Our current system of animal agriculture generates as much greenhouse gas as the entire transportation sector.
On Tuesday, May 27 at 6pm MUUSJA will host a lively presentation online to discuss our food system's under-appreciated climate and environmental impact.
Dear LFUU Members and Friends,
I attended my 35th Annual Meeting of the Members of LFUU on Sunday! I also ran it. I couldn’t have done so without lots of help. I want to thank:
Dear LFUU Members and Friends,
This week I am writing my Report from the Chair and preparing for our Annual Business Meeting on Sunday, so I am not writing a Message for the newsletter.
You should’ve received an email on Tuesday with the meeting information, agenda, and attachment. All are welcome to join us in-person or on Zoom: the Zoom link is below. Hope to see you on Sunday!
In Fellowship,
Laurie Gauer
Hi Lake Fellowship members and friends,
This Sunday, May 4th is the last Soup Sunday until we resume meeting in September. Maia Larson and family members from the children’s program will be bringing something yummy to share with us all. You remember how this works, you get something tasty to eat and you donate $$ to the charity of choice.
Thank you Maia and her band of busy little hands for the goodies, please show them your appreciation.
