Guest At Your Table Launches November 12

Mark your calendar now to begin your planning for Guest At Your Table (GAYT) this year. An annual program of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC), this program raises crucial funds for UU social justice work in the United States and around the world. The idea is take home a GAYT box and make a small daily contribution, an amount perhaps equal to what we would pay to host a guest at our dinner table.

Whether you sit down to dinner with a large family or on your own, the box is, in a season so often prone to frenetic activity and commercialization, a tool for daily mindfulness about the hope that each of us may bring to address real need and ease suffering in the world, and about the deeper meanings of this holiday season. As we launch and throughout our GAYT season (Sun Nov 12 – Sun Jan 7), we’ll be sharing. via the RE newsletter and Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/520586461667097/), stories and resources for your dinner table reflections and conversations. The boxes will be collected as the season of Epiphany begins, and there will be an opportunity for all to share our collective epiphanies from this daily practice during our first Sunday together in the new year.
