Green Sanctuary team thanks everyone from First UU Wilmington who came out to witness our faith at the Inter-faith Vigil for Moral Action on Climate Justice on 9/23.  While it was an inter-faith action lead by Delaware Interfaith Power and Light and NC3 (the local chapter), First UU had a strong presence of witness for climate justice and legislation, with our yellow tee shirts, Rev. Roberta, board members and families with children.  Thank you all so much.  To quote Paul Pinson, “As UU's, we need to be out there.”  We were “out there” for this one!

The work of UU's nationally, people of faith, people who love the earth and want to see healing  – slowly, changes are coming:
