Upcoming Worship Services
"Energy for People & Planet: Oregon Citizens' Utility Board”, Charlotte Shuff, Outreach & Communications Director
We all rely on energy to live, work, and play. As we face climate change, we need to transition to clean energy while making sure that our energy systems work for the people who use them. Oregon Citizens' Utility Board (CUB) is our state's utility watchdog that advocates for affordable, accessible, reliable, and clean utilities for the people of Oregon. Learn more about how we can advocate for policies that protect our planet while ensuring everyone can access critical energy services.
Charlotte Shuff joined CUB 2020. They have a background in energy efficiency, advocacy for environmental justice, and community education. Their passion is taking complicated topics and making them understandable for the general public to inspire collective action.
Charlotte graduated from Lewis & Clark College with a BA in Sociology & Anthropology with a focus on civic engagement and the public sector. When not at work, they can be found learning new crafts and playing chess around town.

"Side With Love: An Action Sunday” Service led by Wy’east Members & Friends
As Unitarian Universalists we are called to hold love at the center and we declare that every person is inherently worthy and has the right to flourish with dignity, love, and compassion. This Sunday is the day of Portland’s Annual Pride Parade and we offer two ways to Side With Love on this “Action Sunday”
- You can show up and “side with love” on the sidelines of Portland’s Pride Parade which begins at 11am. The Parade begins at NW 8th & Davis and will proceed west on Davis to Naito Parkway, then South on Naito Parkway to the Pride Waterfront Festival.
- Join us at the Center for Positive Aging or on Zoom for an abbreviated Action Sunday Service. We will offer an abbreviated service followed by some hands-on or interactive ways to “Side with Love.” You may have the time and energy to take public transit to catch part of the parade or attend the Pride Waterfront Festival after the service.

"The Confluence Project”
The Confluence Project is an ambitious project that aims to connect us to the history, living cultures, and ecology of the Columbia River system through Indigenous voices. We will learn more about this community-supported nonprofit that works through six art landscapes, educational programs, and public gatherings in collaboration with northwest tribes, communities, and the celebrated artist Maya Lin. Plus we will be organizing an optional field trip to visit the Vancouver Land Bridge, the Confluence Project site right across the river from us.
