Peace "Delaware Style" through Art and Poetry
The Sussex County League of Women Voters and the Chesapeake Bay Girl Scout Troop 665 have collaborated to memorialize Peace, Delaware Style, through artworks produced by the Chesapeake Bay Girl Scout Troop 665 and poetry written by residents of the writing community in Sussex County. The artwork and poetry will be on display in the Lewes Public Library from October 7 through 30, 2024. The display is open to the general public during regular Library hours. Our goal is to demonstrate and communicate thoughts and feelings of “Peace” via a collaborative and multigenerational community effort. |

Active Bystander Training
Have you ever had a situation where you saw someone being harmed, physically or emotionally, and wanted to help, but you didn’t know what to do, or how to do it? As Jewish people, we have a moral imperative to pursue justice. Through Active Bystander Training, you can learn some of the situations (such as racism, antisemitism, sexual harassment, a crime being committed, and many more) that you are likely to encounter as a bystander and, more importantly, how you can intervene in a safe, productive way. We will examine the reasons why we may be reluctant to get involved and practice proven techniques for intervention.

Practicing Peace Through Deep Listening
Could what Mark Nepo says about deep listening also be what we might say about practicing peace? Nepo writes: “I learned that listening this deeply is an act of creation that shapes us beyond our will…But I’m also discovering after all these years that listening deeply over time is one of uninterrupted growing — one continuous act.” Can we allow peace to be cultivated in us—as “one continuous act.” This service will take place in the sanctuary and live-streamed at www.firstuuwilm.org. It is one of First Unitarian’s offerings during Delaware Peace Week. Rev. Dr. Larry Peers began as the minister of First Unitarian Church of Wilmington in August 2021. In addition to ministry, he has worked with organizations and their leaders across many faith traditions in the areas of change and conflict transformation. Rev. Peers has taught courses in adaptive leadership and conflict transformation and “Peacemaking and Religious Leadership” at seminaries. |

GOTV PostCard Writing Party!
We will write postcards to “GET OUT THE VOTE”. YOU can DO SOMETHING, as Michelle Obama urged. A healthy democracy requires citizen involvement. We supply pens, snacks, cards, scripts, live music, stamps. We are given addresses in communities that have experienced attempts to marginalize, confuse, delist, disenfranchise voters. We cannot let that happen! The power is in YOUR hands so see this does not happen. The electoral college votes from some districts/states may come down to a handful of votes. Lots of research have gone into selecting districts that have the potential to swing the election. DO NOT be the one to say “I COULD HAVE made a difference.” The work starts NOW. Effort is sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), Unitarian Universalist Delaware Advocacy Network (UUDAN), and UUFN Endowment Committee which provided funds for stamps. |

Circle of Sharing for Peace and Understanding
Participants are invited to use a traditional way of talking called Circle to share their wisdom after watching the TED Talk video “A Palestinian and an Israeli, Face to Face” with Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon. The Circle structure is rooted in Indigenous’ vision that considers every being as capable of creating wisdom while talking by engaging their whole being, mind, body, heart and spirit. Being with their beloved community while sitting facing one another, each other’s humanity surfaces as a gift to those listening to inspire, heal and help to understand the issues at hand at a deeper level. Grounding practices will be experienced throughout the Circle of Sharing. Charito Calvachi-Mateyko, a Restorative Justice professional and Circle Keeper, will be the facilitator. |
