Rosh Hashanah is the beginning of the Jewish New Year. It is a time of joy and deep introspection when, no matter our mistakes or failures of the previous year, we can begin again with a clean slate. We have the chance to look at our lives and decide how we want to make them more meaningful.
All are welcome!

Please join UUCP for today’s online service, “Sukkot – A Festival for Us All” at 10:30 a.m. led by Rev. Pippa Jones.

As the ancients promised: “We will do, and we will understand!” (“na’aseh v’nishmah“)

“JOY AS AN ACT OF RESISTANCE” - Rev. Sonia Ketchian with Special Guest Rev. Laurene Williams (Online)

Poster By: Liandra Pires

Meet Rev. Laurene Williams – Activist. Counselor. Innovator. Minister. Yet “Spirited” best describes Reverend Laurene Williams—she’s as lively talking about spirituality as she is about her beloved Steelers. For her, there’s no difference between a congregation raising its voice ‘as one’ in worship and a stadium of fans raising its voice ‘as one’ to uplift a player or team to victory. Both embody a consciousness of oneness, connection to a unifying purpose and a sense of community and Spirit. Is it less powerful or profound because one is social and considered secular? Reverend Laurene doesn’t think so. She believes the societal paradigm of separation between “church and state” is as unnatural (and impossible) as separating our divinity from our humanity. The spiritual journey is to practice moving through the world as “wholly” as possible—-closing the gap between our own humanity and divinity by bringing down the wall of separation between us and our own souls. That is why “love” undergirds all spiritual, religious and faith traditions because it is The Great Unifier. Love connects us to our souls, to each other, to all of creation and living an “undivided life,” whereby who we are, what we do and how we do it is in alignment with our highest essence.
Sought after for her compelling conversations, engaging inquiries, sense of humor, and unique perspective, Reverend Laurene explores with people how to embody their personal truth in alignment with Spiritual Truth for greater fulfillment, delight, and peace of mind. This is accomplished through her writings, counseling, ministry, public speaking and transformational workshops, and innovative programs.
Reverend Laurene Williams is a board member of One Spirit Learning Alliance, the team lead of One Spirit in Action which is the activism branch of One Spirit’s Interfaith Seminary, and a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, a public service sorority. She is from Westbury, LI where her mother still resides, and currently lives in Bloomfield, NJ.

"Spirits and Shadows: A Journey Through Samhain, All Souls, and Halloween" - Rev. Sonia Ketchian (Online)
2024-10-27 10:30 - 11:30 | Virtual, United States
Please join UUCP for today’s online service, “Spirits and Shadows: A Journey Through Samhain, All Souls, and Halloween” with Rev. Sonia Ketchian at 10:30 a.m.
November 1 was traditionally the date that the Celts celebrated Samhain, a festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or “darker-half” of the year. During this time they believed the veil between life and death became thin, which was an opportunity to connect with those on the other side or maybe to avoid them! Join us this Sunday as we explore the spirits and shadows of Samhain, All Souls, and of course, Halloween!
We look forward to seeing you!

"The Religions of Our Founding Fathers" - Michael Meyers-Jouan (Online)
2025-03-30 10:30 - 11:30 | https://zoom.us/j/6442007072?pwd=[REDACTED]
Please join UUCP for today’s online service, “The Religions of Our Founding Fathers” led by UUCP member, Michael Meyers-Jouan, at 10:30 a.m.
The Founding Fathers — despite their varied personal faiths — collectively established a model of community that continues to shape the United States. By examining their commitment to religious liberty, the covenant they forged with God, and their vision of America as a “city upon a hill,” we reveal how their ideals of unity, mutual care, and communal responsibility became the cornerstone of American society. The sermon invites us to reflect on how these timeless values not only influenced the nation’s founding documents but also continue to inspire communities today, fostering a spirit of fellowship, shared purpose, and ethical renewal that binds us together.
We look forward to seeing you online!

WRIC – THE WOMEN’S RIGHTS INFORMATION CENTER
Our mission- to provide knowledge and opportunities to support the economic aspirations and emotional stability of all individuals so they may live a life of hope, security and dignity.
For over five decades, WRIC’s primary focus has been to increase employability for individuals so that they can become more confident, make better decisions, and take care of themselves and their families. WRIC is a Certified Job-Training provider, licensed by the NJ Department of Labor, and provides displaced homemaker services, career services, including job placement assistance, resume development, computer training, ESL and Citizenship education, legal consultations, victim services for those affected by crime, and a shared housing program to assist individuals in establishing shared households.
In 2019, WRIC received a grant under the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) program for its Victim Services and Career Development Program. This enabled WRIC to help its populations of crime victims stabilize their lives after victimization and trauma with a focus on helping victims find meaningful employment and income so that they can survive independently. Due to financial loss/abuse, survivors of domestic violence are often unable to achieve self-sufficiency until they can develop workplace skills and earn a living wage in a job with security. WRIC’s program provides emergency services, case management, and support groups.

MEET LISA MAURER – Associate Executive Director, Bergen County Women’s Rights Information Center (WRIC)
Recently promoted to Associate Executive Director at the Women’s Rights Information Center (WRIC) in Bergen County, Lisa Maurer is a committed advocate for some of the region’s most vulnerable populations. She provides critical support to women and families dealing with challenges such as homelessness, domestic violence, cultural assimilation, language barriers, and displacement. Maurer’s work centers around helping these individuals secure meaningful employment and build lasting stability, drawing deeply from her own lived experiences.
Maurer’s passion for helping others is rooted in her own personal journey. Widowed at a young age and raising four children as a single mother, she understands firsthand the complexities and emotional challenges of facing hardship alone. The struggles she encountered, including navigating life as the sole provider for her family, fueled her drive to help others who face similar difficulties. These experiences have given her a deep empathy and insight into the difficulties women face when confronted with unexpected life changes.
In addition to her personal background, Maurer brings extensive professional expertise to her work. Before transitioning to the non-profit sector, she owned and operated a successful restaurant business for 30 years, where she developed strong leadership, management, and
problem-solving skills. Maurer has also committed herself to trauma-informed care, completing the Rutgers University NJVAA Foundation Series in Domestic Violence and earning certifications as a resilience coach and a mental health first-aid responder.
Maurer’s advocacy work includes serving as a Child Care Advocate with the Center for Hope and Safety and as a front-line teaching assistant at the Hackensack YMCA, where she worked to support the educational development of at-risk youth. In 2017, she joined WRIC as a case
manager and has since become a key leader within the organization.
In recognition of her commitment to supporting displaced women, Maurer was selected in 2017 to represent Bergen County on the New Jersey Displaced Homemakers Network. In this role, she helps direct statewide efforts to assist women who, due to sudden life changes such as death, divorce, or illness, must assume the role of sole provider and head of household. Her trauma-informed approach to this work ensures that women receive both the emotional support and practical resources they need during difficult transitions.
Maurer graduated from Bergen Leads in 2020 as a member of the Class of 2020, further solidifying her commitment to community leadership and social justice. At WRIC, Maurer’s combination of leadership, trauma-informed care, and personal understanding of adversity has cemented her as a key leader within one of Bergen County’s most dedicated non-profit organizations. Her ability to address the most challenging life situations with empathy and practical solutions has empowered many individuals to overcome obstacles and create brighter futures.
A resident of Clifton, Maurer is a proud mother of four and grandmother of five.
