Let’s Get Together, South Carolina!

Jan. 30, 2022 11:00 am Rev. Dr. Pippin Whitaker

It’s a new year full of new possibilities! Yes, UUs across the state may be faced with a mountain of social justice challenges. Yes, we can feel overwhelmed by the ongoing impact of the pandemic, political divisiveness, and more. But there is something magical happening, and possibilities emerging all around us. The South Carolina UU Justice Alliance formed in 2021 thanks to a startup grant of the Unitarian Universalist Fund for Social Responsibility. The Alliance connects UUs across the state to build relationships, provide mutual support in times of need for local justice work, join in collective action for state level change, and most of all to expand joy in our justice work. We are not only more powerful together—we are more joyful together! Join this service to learn more about the Alliance, to share your hopes so we include your needs in our organizational core vision, and to launch a new year full of inspiration in your own life!

We were looking for a church where we felt accepted both intellectually and spiritually, a place where all people and religions were regarded equally without condemnation. Our search began at UUCC six years ago and we never had to look any further. We found our place here with a community of like-minded people and it became our second home, our second family.

Carita Barr, Member: Growing up in a Lutheran state-taxed church, I never was very religious. But 40 years ago, I heard about Unitarian Universalism through friends. I found a home here where this diverse religious community really works to better our world. Respect and honor for the “other” is the main ingredient in our cooperative efforts as a movement.

Jane and Bob Gillespie, Members

For much of our married life, we were without a church home, but felt our lives would be enriched if we could find a place where we were part of something greater than ourselves. The UUCC became that place. There, we’ve made great friends, enjoyed meaningful fellowship and found a sense of peace. It’s just what we were looking for.
