Our Share the Plate donation for the first half ofOctoberwill go toCafe Justo

 

Café Justo is a coffee grower cooperative based in Salvador Urbina, Chiapas, Mexico. We market a pure, organic coffee which is grown, harvested and marketed in the spirit of justice. Our goal is to provide incentives for people to remain on their family lands.

Our business model is simple and optimizes the profit for the growers. The coffee is harvested, cleaned and prepared for shipping in Salvador Urbina, Chiapas.

The beans are then transported to Agua Prieta, Sonora. In Agua Prieta the coffee is roasted, ground and packaged for shipment to our customers.

 

 

Share the Plate Comes Full Circle

 

The SJC, is delighted to share the news of donations raised, for our chosen non profits for our Share the plate for August.

Together, we picked SisterJose Women's Shelter, andCasa Alitas.  Despite of the present pandemic and the heat of summer, we have raised a staggering $272.50 for each of them! WOW! This is fantastic! The well deserved STP recipients are telling us how delighted and grateful they are. Both non profits have noted that their donations are down, and their needs are up!!

Thank you!

 

Sales - and delivery - of Café Justo coffee are continuing. This Social Justice Council (SJC) project benefits small-scale, shade-grown organic coffee growers in Chiapas, Mexico. Please contact Sue Watts for more information:This email address is being protected from spambots.

Dear Friends,

 

We keep talking about November 3rd... but in Arizona ballots drop October 7th. That means... this is it. Our last chance to do whatever we are called to do for this election cycle, to UU the Vote.

 

The biggest thing you can do? Talk to people. Your friends and family, your knitting circle and mahjong group, your old high school friends and the neighbor you wave at when you get your mail. You can ask: "Do you have a plan for how to vote? Do you know where to drop it off, mail it, or vote in person? What are you most concerned about in this election?"

 

Studies show that these one-on-one conversations, termed relational organizing, are five times more effective than any other form of voter turnout.

 

To learn more about UU the Vote, and other happenings at UUJAZ, please visit our website: uujaz.org.

 

Travel in Place! Even this year where we aren't physically visiting our neighbors, we can learn, explore neighboring faiths, and have some fun building our own community.

 

Who: Youth ages 12+

When: Sundays from 1-3pm

First Departure is Oct. 4 to answer questions and get to know each other. Youth, bring your adults to this one (but not the rest). 

 

Join the Baja 4 families in POPs, a video-based, at-home curriculum grounded in Unitarian Universalism and designed for parents and caregivers of children ages 2-5. By engaging with POP videos, parents and caregivers will come to understand their child's spiritual development, to build rituals that support this development, and to see themselves as spiritual teachers.

Are you interested in "doing church" at home? I am collecting resources for at home religious education both on the Parenting Club facebook page and in a google drive. The folder is available to everyone! You'll find activities that take 5 minutes and one that take 5 days, so you're in control of how much time you spend on RE.
