Chewing and Walking at the Same Time: Two members of the First UU Social Justice Committee reflect on the current racial justice strife. From their positions of White privilege, Kay Meyer and Jerry Phelan encourage us to study and chew into our internal issues surrounding racial justice. However, don't wait to get walking, i.e., taking action to move Marathon County toward a more welcoming community with greater racial equality.

In this period of heightened recognition of the advantages of being white in America and interest in learning ways to address racism, we are grateful Kayley McColley has agreed to provide reflections of her experiences as a Black person in Wausau. Kayley is a 20 year old who was raised in Wausau, graduated from Wausau West High School, and currently is working here in the health care field. Kayley is a committed community activist and sought after voice.

Join Richard Olson as he leads this service, entitled "Ordinary Loss." Throughout our lives we all face many losses. Some are minor but seem major at the time. Other times, these losses are traumatic and lead to acute grief. We need to grieve, and we do so in many ways; it is a healthy process. What is unhealthy though, is when we allow our grief to be heavier than the actual loss. In this service, Richard shares intimate stories of grief and loss in his own life, as well as on a larger scale.
Please note: If discussion of suicide is a sensitive topic, please skip from 27:22 - 31:06.
