Multifaith Voices for Peace and Justice (MVPJ), of which UUCPA is a member, recognizes that this is a stressful time for many in our community. As in 2017, MVPJ held pre-inauguration and MLK Day events this year to help bring people together and to celebrate our interconnections so that we can support each other in the coming months and years.
The first event was a multifaith service held on Sunday, January 19, at First United Methodist Church of Palo Alto. Among the speakers at this event was our own Rev. Amy Morgenstern and our UUCPA choir also sang at the event. The second event was a sing-along on Monday, January 20, at Mitchell Park. Both events were photographed by members Jack Owicki’s ProBono Photography, including UUCPA member Chris Cassell. If you would like to see the photos taken at these events, please find them at the links below. These photos can be freely used, with attribution to ProBono and the photographers.
Our thanks go to Rev. Amy, to Bruce Olstad and the UUCPA choir, and to ProBono Photography – and of course to MVPJ for organizing these events! We are grateful to be a part of the larger community and to be able to participate in such events!
