March 2025

What happens in the moment of recognition that my essence is tied to yours and yours to mine? What do moments like those offer us as individuals and as whole communities? Join Rev. Mykal Slack for BLUU worship in March as he reflects on dance, wonder, power, and possibility.

Black Sacred Space:

BLUU’s online worship services are Black Sacred Space in their entirety — by and for Black people, with the words and voices of Black folks across the diaspora — and we hope that Black UUs and Black UU-adjacent folks (who share our values) from far and wide will join us!

For our non-Black siblings in faith, please DO share this invitation with Black folks in your life and community. Getting the word out about BLUU’s gatherings and other programming is one powerful way of lending your support, and we deeply appreciate it!

For all of our services, feel free to come into our BLUU Zoom Room as early as 15 minutes before the start of the service to get settled, say hello to the folks who are already gathering, and listen to the music softly playing as we all prepare for our time together.

Donations from our UU community and aligned friends support programming, spiritual care, and advances social justice initiatives. BLUU provides spaces for Black folks to feel more connected, allowing us to collectively imagine more possibilities. BLUU Beloveds find strength to fight the systems of oppression and collectively work with our UU community to change them. We also work in solidarity with other marginalized groups across the world; we know none of us are free until we’re all free.

Will you support our efforts by donating today?

BLUU Beloveds are Black Unitarian Universalists and other Black spiritual people who want to deepen their connection with each other and their commitment to BLUU by becoming members of BLUU.

Pastoral care is a model of emotional and spiritual support that can be found in all cultures and traditions. People who provide pastoral care offer support to people in their joys, sorrows, and uncertainties associated with specific life events occurring while part of the community in which pastoral caregivers serve. Spiritual care is a multi-faceted model of support in individuals’ search for meaning, purpose, wholeness, and connection in day-to-day life.
