Wy’east UU is a shared ministry. Our quarter-time minister, Rev. Leslie Becknell Marx, leads one service most months and also often contributes elements to one other service each month. Our lay-leadership collaborates to bring a variety of guest ministers, other speakers and special programs on the remaining Sundays. These include regular appearances by Guest Minister Rev. Stephani Skalak with her focus on Personal Spiritual Practice, as well as a series of speakers and special collections related to our Social Justice focus for the year “We are Stronger Together.”
In months when there are 5 Sundays, which happens 4 or 5 times each year, we will typically gather for a service project rather than a worship service.
5th Sunday Day of Service: Supply Drive for 13 Salmon Shower Project
Each church year there are 4-5 months that have a fifth Sunday. As part of our lay-led ministry, we will be using these Sundays to offer an alternative to traditional worship. In lieu of holding a service, either in-person or on Zoom, we will be organizing a group service project we can do together instead.
Our project for March 2026 is a supply drive for the 13 Salmon Shower Project. We will gather at 10:30 on Sunday, March 29th at the Center for Positive Aging for snacks, song, & fellowship. Project Coordinator, Larry Burt will collect your supply drive contributions. See the details below for more information about needed items.
The 13 Salmon Shower Project
Based at First Unitarian downtown, the 13 Salmon Shower Project is open on Wednesday and Thursdays from 11 to 4 and offers unhoused individuals a free and secure space to shower, rest, enjoy a warm drink and snack, get clean clothing, and experience refuge from conditions on the street. Based on compassion and an ethic of mutual care, the project seeks to build relationships between the church and our unhoused neighbors.
They are seeking the following items:
- Men's clothes, especially jeans/pants/sweats (30 - 36)
- Hoodies, sweatshirts, coats, and rain gear
- Boxer briefs - NEW (M, L)
- Women's underwear - NEW (S, M)
- New Socks
There will be NO regular Worship service this Sunday. We are gathering in-person for fellowship and to gather our supply drive contributions. There will not be an opportunity to join via Zoom.
Love Rises: Easter From a UU Perspective, Rev. Leslie Becknell Marx
We will gather to celebrate the renewal of Spring and the power of Love. Jesus refused to answer violence with violence. In our Unitarian Universalist faith, we honor this as a story of enduring love—one that rises again in us when we choose compassion, justice, and hope, even in the face of oppression.
