A Story of Equity & Justice (In Person and Online)

Tikkun Olam, Romeri Style (In Person and Online)
Rev Julie Lombard, The Romeri Family, and The Worship Team
We have a mighty story about protecting transgender children. Niko Romeri believes it’s vital to represent the people that can’t voice their identity fully. This is what motivated his work in the ruling that helped trans students get the protection needed to come out to their families when they are ready (Doe v. Manchester School District, 2024 N.H.). His work was in response to the story of a mother who had inadvertently learned from their child’s teacher that their child used a different name and pronouns at school. Niko and his family are living out the value of Tikkun Olam, a Jewish concept referring to forms of action intended to improve the world. Join us as we hear Nico and Heather’s testimony about transformative acts of justice.

Stories of Addiction and Recovery [Postponed] (In Person and Online)
John Bigl, The Worship Team, and Special Guests
UPDATE: The service originally planned for this Sunday, January 12, at 10:30am has been postponed due to illness.
Members of the Addiction Recovery Coalition of NH here in Milford will join us as we explore some stories of addiction and recovery in our community and the wider world. Addiction can and does touch many of our lives, and yet there is still a stigma around these disorders. We will explore how working to end the stigma of addiction is a practice in keeping with our Unitarian Universalist principles.
