This Sunday we will celebrate our annual tradition of Soap Box Sunday, a unique UUJXN service created by our late member Fran Leber.
Soap Box Sunday is held on the Sunday closest to July 4th and is an opportunity to exercise our Unitarian Universalist 5th Principle (the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large) and our American rights of free speech. During this service, everyone is encouraged to literally stand on their soapbox (if willing and able) to speak on any topic for two minutes. Speakers who exceed their two minutes will be “applauded off” their Soap Box, as needed.
50 / 50 Raffle
Each Sunday in June and July 5th, we will be offering raffle tickets for sale. The raffle winner will split the pot with UUJXN, each collecting 50% of all raffle ticket sales! (For every dollar collected for the raffle, 50 cents goes to UUJXN and 50 cents goes to the raffle winner.) The raffle drawing will be on Sunday, July 5th. Tickets are $1 each or 5 tickets for $4. The funds raised through the 50 / 50 Raffle will support community events and celebrations held at UUJXN, so please bring cash to enter the Raffle. (Raffle tickets can also be purchased via PayPal!)
