The United Nations is calling on world leaders to take real steps to lead us off fossil fuels to protect people and the planet. On September 20th in New York, the UN Climate Ambition Summit will gather world leaders to commit to phasing out fossil fuels.  To let the UN hear our voices, marches and rallies are occurring across the globe on Sunday, September 17th.    

MUUS is holding a Rally to End Fossil Fuels in Woodbury (on the green near Canfield Corner) at 1:00 pm on Sunday September 17th.  This is our chance to break free from fossil fuels and build a just and safe future.  Join us!

MUUS Passover Seder

April 10, 5:30 PM

Please share this meaningful celebration at MUUS. The Seder brings together friends and families who eat and drink together, sing together and recite together the story of exodus from slavery. By telling this compelling story of freedom we can be inspired to continue the quest for freedom for all people and accept the blessings of our personal freedom.

Seders work best when everyone participates. Some of us can share the story as readers, while others will listen and learn new customs. Those of us who are artistic can prepare the tables and others can cook the special holiday foods that we will share. We will even need your help cleaning up after dinner.

There is a place for all at the Seder Table. Please your reservation during coffee hour or call Christine Edelson for more information. Your donation of $5-$15 for adults will pay for paper goods, beverages and the main Seder foods. Children are free.

We will gather directly after the Sunday Worship Service in the Social Hall. Members will be asked to participate in “Pot Luck” and congregation will provide drinks and paper goods. There will be Carol Singing and other fun activities
