Please join in celebrating a Guest at Your Table during the month of November, a traditional time for welcoming guests.

Guest at Your Table (GAYT) is the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee‘s annual intergenerational program to raise support for and awareness about key human rights issues.  Since UUSC works in more than 20 countries, with over 60 grassroots partners, there are thousands of individuals involved in and who benefit from the work that our mem-bers make possible.  The program is an opportunity to cel-ebrate grassroots partnership, and support human rights.

Our theme this year is The Meaning of Home.  For many of us, our relationship with home has intensified this year.  The pandemic has given many of us new appreciation for, and concerns about, the places we call home and the centrality of these places in our lives.

This year during GAYT, we invite you to witness stories of our partners around the world as they tell you about home.  Each week we will hear from one of these four individuals–the “guests” in Guest at Your Table.  Find resources at www.uusc.org/resources/congregations/guest-at-your-table/.

Traditionally, we have collected loose change in containers made by our beloved littles in Religious Education.  This year, we are on our own!  You may still want to collect change in a container at your dinner table each night.  But this year, we ask that you make your contribution directly to GAYT instead of contributing through UUFM.  Make contribu-tions at donate.uusc.org/give/75595/#!/donation/checkout.  Be sure to include our congregation name on the form:  Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Manhattan Ks.
