A Special Concert by Susan and Burt Mittelstadt
Please join us on Friday, October 6 for a poignant evening of music - songs of social justice and protest - performed by Burt and Susan Mittelstadt and hosted by the Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Silver City.
Over the ages, music has moved the mountains of human injustice and suffering, from civil rights to women’s rights to Black Lives Matter to labor movements and anti-war protests, and so much more. As Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate, Eli Wiesel once said, “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” Music has always been a means to that end.

October 8, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "The Blessing of the Animals”
Finally, the program your pets have been waiting for! This Sunday, Heidi Ogas will be leading us in a Blessing of the Animals.
Please bring your pets to gather with us out on the patio. For their safety and ours, please leash, cage, crate, harness or otherwise contain your critters. If you have a pet who has passed, or one you don't feel comfortable bringing, feel free to bring a picture, toy or memento. The service will be a bit shorter because of our pets’ possible anxiety at being in a strange place.
