Jamestown, N.Y. – Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Jamestown (UUCJ) former Board of Trustees President Emily Garrick will explain the proposed changes to the UU principles and sources at the Sunday, March 12, 10:30 a.m. service.

Her message is “Roots Hold Me Close, Wings Set Me Free.”

“Big changes are in the wind in Unitarian Universalism,” Garrick says. She will examine the  past and future, taking a deep dive into Unitarian Universalist principles, sources, and values. “This sermon will help to ground us as we look ahead to General Assembly 2023 and the possible changes that have been proposed to our UU Principles and Purposes.”

The service will include the seven Principles that all Unitarian Universalist congregations affirm, promote, and hold as strong values and moral guides:
  1. The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
  2. Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
  3. Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
  4. A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
  5. The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
  6. The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
  7. Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

A graduate of Jamestown High School and Wells College, Garrick received her MS in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from the University of Rochester. She teaches English as  a new language at Jamestown’s Washington Middle School.

A social time follows the service.

Participation can be either in person at 1255 Prendergast Avenue in Jamestown or online. To join virtually, use the link at UUJamestown.org/calendar.
