IKR? even got a parking place.
Update: we forgot the groceries so I made a pit stop at Safeway and got tomato basil sauce, fatale and GF fettuccine - squeaked into the sanctuary before the ministers processed in :)
The youth are making pasta for the congregation's lunch. My daughter is bringing regular and GF pasta and cheesy sauce @MDUUC #UUTwitter #UUSundaypic.twitter.com/8VuGJTw2u4
Friday’s #ClimateStike was the largest climate action ever! How is your UU congregation answering the urgent call for climate action issued by our children and youth around the world? #UUSunday #UUTwitter @UUClimateAction https://twitter.com/earth3r/status/1106950011848478727 …
This #UUSunday I’m reading @JimAntal’s book Climate Church, Climate World. I’m committed to helping our congregations lead on climate. I believe, as I hope you do, that we have a moral responsibility to respond to this crisis. Delayed action threatens all we hold dear.pic.twitter.com/zkN0Gos3gt
Happy Sunday! Unitarian Universalists and friends, what’s happening in your UU congregation today? Tweet with hashtag #UUSunday and hashtags related to the themes you are addressing. For example: #climatechange #climatestrike #ImmigrationReform #GunViolencepic.twitter.com/7Gp6TzMldc
Not a bot (or Russian meddler for that matter). I am a UU. This is a ministry of advocacy and activism resisting and seeking to dismantle all forms of systemic oppression.
Are you planning on answering any questions. The botometer raises some concerns. https://botometer.iuni.iu.edu/#!/?sn=UUResistance …
I hope we'll be hearing more from them on what brings this about. Individual or organizational backing? Group or movement?
I don’t know who is behind this account or what their plan is, but it is UU + resistance so of course I’m curious... Welcome to Twitter @UUResistance! https://twitter.com/uuresistance/status/1107034878795747334 …
The moral leadership of faith leaders and their congregations across denominations is critical. https://twitter.com/climatereality/status/1106652820290203648 …
Unitarian Universalists participating in #ClimateStrike Friday, tag your tweets with @UUClimateAction so we can retweet! You can tag @UUClimateAction in a photo after you add it to the tweet.pic.twitter.com/t8Htt8fx3N
Once at service dance music got blasted through the A/V system prior to the service due to error by the audio person, and it did liven up the service!
Well that’s depressing. But I do like the idea of a pulpit with buttons you can press! Let’s see, one to activate the disco ball, one button to mute all other mics , one to activate holographic interactive Earth to show climate scenarios...
Happy Sunday! What’s happening in your UU congregation / life today? Tweet with one or more of these hashtags: #UUSunday #UUTwitter #SundayMorning + tag for theme of service or content you’re tweeting about.pic.twitter.com/K66Ax9H8hY
Thank you. I missed it when you released it. Going to watch now.
The light is easiest to photograph with the presence of fog or mist— as the video shows ^
At Winter Soltice, it is a blue light, at Summer Solstice a green light, and both Equinoxes, a purple light. Three different tubes with colored lenses set at different angles according to the angle of the earth on those days.
Yes @uuplanet check out the video on our Vimeo page: https://vimeo.com/309162483
So maybe I'll use both this Sunday. @SummitBeacon did you see this?
Yes, UU alone gets used for all sorts of things! I think we should make it a larger question, bring it to those who have been using the UUSunday hashtag, weaving in some social media strategy / education. But I need to do that for NEXT Sunday.
I suppose I could join this 'official' UU Lent activity late and in addition to my lectionary series. Hmm....
I like UUSunday, but I wonder if UUTwitter could be used every day + Sunday. I've noticed occasionally the UU hashtag on my feed in Tweetdeck used for tweets that are unrelated, often in other languages.
Do you like UUSunday? What do you think? The SundayMorning tag trends every week so I wonder if doing UUTwitter + SundayMorning is better for visibility.
@uuplanet are we doing #UUTwitter or #UUSunday tomorrow, and can the former be used for more general #UU tagging outside of Sundays?
I'm doing my own UU Lenten thing, but hope they do this again next year so I can blog along to it instead. Here's the category page, and the second post will be up tomorrow (Sunday). https://www.icarusinvict.us/blog-1/categories/uu-lenten-lectionary-2019 …
Here’s the #UULent challenge some Unitarian Universalists are tweeting about. https://twitter.com/uuxmnr/status/1103206422135930880 …
What happens on the solstice? Does the blue light arrive at a specific mark in the room? That would make for a great video...
And how is the author/editor being called out?
Are you #UU? Are you wondering how best to talk about the @UUWorld article and support #trans Unitarian Universalists? I spent today making a resource to help you. Check it out and pass it on. @uua @SidewithLove @UULREDA @ReligiousInst @uua_lgbtq @uuplanet https://twitter.com/heartstransform/status/1104251646467600385 …

Was a Soup ‘n Games kinda day following service at First Parish Canton #fpuucanton #cantonma
I'm leading a Coming of Age field trip from @MDUUC (Mt Diablo UU Church) to Starr King School for the Ministry @StarrKingGTU @tweetGTU #UUTwitter
I had to let @SummitUU know. Good to experiment.
I thought we’d experiment. I’ve been seeing a trend for #UUTwitter being used during the week. Then if people click on a Sunday #uutwitter tweet they discover all the other goods. Was split second decision as I filmed in field of blinding snow.
PROTIP: To get more people to see your tweets today, add hashtag #SundayMorning and any hashtags related to your topic theme.
Happy Sunday! I just blew up 12 - 13 beach balls for a special service surprise. What’s happening in your UU congregation / life today? Tweet with hashtag #UUTwitter.pic.twitter.com/uzMKPY1jwz
Young people are demanding action, going on strike from school. There is a global day of action scheduled for March 15th. Any UUs striking tag me in photos so I can retweet.

Upstairs Rev. Dr. Catherine Cullen preached on 'Restoring Broken Trust' and the youth downstairs discussed the 6th Principle and made cooperative machines.
Indeed, as people can see how diverse various congregations are!
Thanks for sharing. I’ll check it out! Might be good to have playlist of congregational videos too.
Here's one that I was in, if you're accepting videos from outside the US too?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFzqymdk-X4 …

Of course I love all our YouTube videos (we are very hard at work to actually have a video part but they make great podcasts, which we are also working at) but here is a favourite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS8l5T42n7E&t=1s … #UU #yeg #Unitarian church of #Edmonton
Great idea. Good to include docs. Raw Faith featuring @marilynsewell - check!

Unitarian Universalists, are you protesting Monday?

Perhaps elements of this video could be included? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p03xPbSSSBU …
Yeah. I’m all salt and pepper and have a 10 year old now!
I remember watching that video a few times. It certainly could do with a refresh!
Not to say this video isn’t good. We just need fresh content as this was made in a 4:3 lower resolution pre-social media world. And to all still using / watching it, I’m glad it is helpful.
Oh, I think I need to make some new videos about Unitarian Universalism. This video was made in 2007! Interesting to think about how best to educate given evolution of social media since then. https://twitter.com/uuhamilton/status/1095364308597391361 …
Snow day! Yes, stats are old but the stories still apply. Thanks for sharing.
Curious what being a #UU is all about? Check out this video from @uuplanet. Although from the states and from several years ago it will help explain and worth the watch. Enjoy your #snowday https://youtu.be/st5Pv3lsG60
Great question. I think we need to do more to pull the action items out of the larger resources. Give me every action in a tweet with a link to its source!
UUs taking action to address climate change — what’s your favorite source for clear specific action items? Top books, articles, websites with lists you’d recommend? @UUMFE @UUA @UUSC https://twitter.com/revdrmeg/status/1095057480403496960 …

I facilitated part 1 of a conversation about death for our 6th/7th grade RE last week, so I'm going to sit in on part 2 this week to provide a sense of continuity.
