Program

Please join us, for our final program of the 2024 - 2025 program year!  This year, we're continuing our "Photo of the Year" feature. We will be sharing our "Photo of the Year" with one another, in a slideshow presentation format. We'd like you to select your single favorite photo from the past year. You don't need to have taken the photo, but if you use someone else's work, please be sure to credit the photographer. The photo can be of any family-friendly subject: historic, natural, portrait, or scenic -- whatever you'd like to share.

Augsburg Senior and LFUU alum, Leah Tift will speak about the benefits of a liberal arts education as a STEM major. Pulling from her experience in and out of classes, and reflecting on the varied paths in front of her, Leah will show how her chosen field of biostatistics is the best of both worlds as it combines Social Justice and STEM.

Lake Fellowship warmly welcomes guest speaker M. Jay Shahidi for a program about the role and responsibilities (past, present, and future) of the US as a member of the United Nations. Jay's program will move beyond basic UN-101 type information and delve deeper into correcting commonly held misbeliefs, and explore the future goals of this fascinating intergovernmental organization.

Mehr “Jay” Shahidi is free-lance international affairs researcher, lobbyist, public speaker, consultant, human rights activist, as well as a business owner living in Saint Louis Park.

Working for justice is a lifelong commitment, and it calls us to learn, connect, and take action together rooted in care and grounded by values. In this time of crisis and urgency, how can Unitarian Universalists and people of conscience show up for justice and organize with clarity, resilience, and courage? We’re joined by the Rev. Terri Burnor, acting executive director of the Minnesota Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Alliance (MUUSJA), for an interactive program in this critical moment when we need to come together.

Lake Fellowship welcomes Rev. T. Michael Rock, for a program titled "The Shared Values of United Church of Christ and Unitarian Universalism."

Join Lake Fellowship member Marnie Karger for an interactive program that explores this month's theme: The Practice of Trust. In preparation for this program, Marnie invites you to consider the following questions:

1. When have you experienced deep, perhaps even absolute trust in something or someone?
2. How do we determine why, what, and whom we trust?
3. When trust is broken, how can we repair it?
