We journey as an Earth community with all of life. Our annual Justice Sunday connects us with the UU Service Committee’s work to advance human rights and climate justice. We celebrate and challenge ourselves to continue and deepen the commitment we made as a congregation to become an accredited UU Green Sanctuary Congregation in June 2015. It is part of the journey we are making with everyone else on our home, the Earth, for a greener and more sustainable future. Our worship this Justice Sunday echoes our understanding that we travel as one Earth community in the universe.

“As part of our mission to “nurture the earth”, we, the members of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Mankato, pledge to continue to live out our Unitarian Universalist principles, including the Seventh Principle, “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.” We will continue to incorporate Seventh Principle values and practices into our worship services, celebrations and faith development programs; support efforts to improve our environmental impact; and affirm and promote programs to raise awareness of behaviors that affect the health and sustainability of the living Earth.”
(As a UU congregation, we enthusiastically and unanimously approved this statement at our annual meeting on May 17, 2015 and in June of 2015 we received our accreditation as a Green Sanctuary Congregation through the UUA Green Sanctuary Program)
