We gather as a loving and learning community and consider how the anti-racism and anti-oppression are part of our congregational life as an organization. Seattle-based writer Ijeoma Oluo offers that, “The beauty of anti-racism is that you don’t have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist.” How do all these elements fit together in a healthy ethical and spiritual life? Join us to consider how we express our love and joy, even as we don’t pretend to be free of racism. Rev. Julie Brock will be our guest preacher.

Checking out First Unitarian Oakland?
If you’re joining us for the first time, we would like to extend a full welcome! Please answer a few questions on our Guest Connection Card. After the service, we have informal discussion in our Virtual Coffee Hour — just stay in the same Zoom session after service ends. During that coffee hour, you can join our Newcomer Welcome breakout room for a quick introduction to the church and answers to your questions.

We look forward to you joining us for worship service each week! For more information, check out About Worship.
