Come, Build a Land

June 16, 2024 at 11 am Rev. Jean Heriot

While today is Father’s Day, we will be honoring fathers a bit differently by asking what kind of world we want for fathers, mothers, sisters, and brothers. The UU hymn “We’ll Build a Land” captures the longing we have to live in a more just world where we all, fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers create peace and justice. Ah, but even as we sing, our minds ask how? We can only begin to answer that question by reaching out and partnering with others in the work. I’ll share a few lessons learned about the process of creating more justice in SC from the perspective of our SC UU Justice Alliance.

We were looking for a church where we felt accepted both intellectually and spiritually, a place where all people and religions were regarded equally without condemnation. Our search began at UUCC six years ago and we never had to look any further. We found our place here with a community of like-minded people and it became our second home, our second family.

For much of our married life, we were without a church home, but felt our lives would be enriched if we could find a place where we were part of something greater than ourselves. The UUCC became that place. There, we’ve made great friends, enjoyed meaningful fellowship and found a sense of peace. It’s just what we were looking for.

This is a place where I can always find big smiles, warm hugs, and stimulating conversations. It is easy to get involved and quickly become part of the group.
