2024-09-22 11:00 - 12:00 | Olmsted Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 5050 Porter Road, North Olmsted, OH, 44070, United States
Plastics are everywhere — they’re in our favorite electronic devices, they package our food and insulate our homes. Today, the total mass of plastic is twice the total mass of all living organisms on the planet. Plastic pollution researcher Patricia Villarrubia-Gomez breaks down the consequences of producing all of this plastic at every stage, from fossil fuel extraction to the disposal of single-use plastics in landfills and oceans. The first step to breaking free of our plastic problem is admitting we have one. Join us!

Sunday Service
2024-08-04 11:00 - 12:00 | Olmsted Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 5050 Porter Road, North Olmsted, OH, 44070, United States
Welcome to Sundays at Olmsted Unitarian Universalist Congregation. Ours is a spiritually open and justice-centered tradition for keeping faith with Life. Unitarian Universalists search for truth along many paths. Instead of centering on specific beliefs, we gather around shared moral values that include the inherent worth and dignity of every person and respect for the interdependent web of life.
Our services explore the search for meaning, ethical and moral issues of our time (e.g., racial justice, LGBTQ rights, economic inequality), living a good life, spiritual growth and self-awareness, emotional intelligence, connecting in community, creating authentic relationships; we draw wisdom from world religions and from secular society.
We welcome you…and everyone, regardless of age or ability, gender or race, ethnicity or national origin, sexual orientation or gender expression, and financial circumstances.
