Vigil for Reflection and Healing at UUCM
This Friday, April 23 from 7:00 – 8:00 PM
As we continue the journey of racial justice for our community, many of us are relieved that the trial of Derek Chauvin has ended with a measure of justice for George Floyd. At the same time, we have anguish for the killing of Daunte Wright, and concern for our community around the upcoming trials of Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane. 

If you are comfortable coming together outside to recognize and hold space for these momentous events, please join us at UUCM on Friday April 23rd at from 7:00 to 8:00 with a short program at 7:30. We will be outside, socially distanced and wearing masks. Please bring a chair if you are able.
