Our
mission
as a church of faith and reason is to promote justice, welcome diversity and
serve with love
We resolve
to be a religious community, welcoming diversity and respecting human beings and
our environment; to be a church of faith and reason, nurturing the life journeys
of those who join their strength to ours; to be a progressive fellowship,
promoting justice, and cultivating religious freedom; to be a caring neighbor,
invigorating the greater Jackson community while renewing ourselves from within.

Black Pioneers in a White Denomination.
On January 24th, UUCJ participated in a "Give-Away-The-Plate" campaign for the
crisis in Haiti. Our collection netted $693.00. This amount was sent to the
UUSC/UUA Haiti Releif Fund.
 The
Mid-South District Presidents have been sending E-mails back and forth regarding
what their congregations did. I am very impressed with the Mid-South Distict's
response. I am sure that all member congregations of the UUA will send a
massive message of providing help when it is needed by citizens of the world.
If you did
not get a chance to respond to this crisis last week at church, here is a way
that you can contribute and be part of this massive relief campaign.
