6:00 pm – 9:00 pm: Banned Together: A Holiday Soirée Benefitting Friends of Freeman Library

Save the date for Banned Together: A Holiday Soirée benefitting Friends of Freeman Library Saturday, December 10th at 6pm. In this time of increasing challenges and bans on literature, it is our duty as UUs to support organizations that actively use their influence to make diverse books, films, and other media available and accessible to all. Freeman Library has made it a point to center works by and about people from marginalized populations, in addition to working to increase media access to underserved groups through work with Bay Area Turning Point and other local organizations. This event will be a joyful way to support this pillar of our community. It will include live music by a local high school show choir and a piano/violin duet by Jon Marcum & Sue Buzzard. Minister J Sylvan and Gloria Miller will perform dramatic readings from banned books, and heavy hors d’oeuvres will be provided. You may bring your favorite beer and wine to share. Dressing up is encouraged!

Suggested donation will be $20. Proceeds will be split between BAUUC and Friends of Freeman, and all the money we donate will be used by Freeman Library to purchase books that have been banned or challenged elsewhere, or books that explicitly feature diverse characters and ideas. After they make their purchases, they will even send us a list of all the books our donation buys, so we can see how our dollars have helped our wider community. Please join us as we joyfully support Friends of Freeman Library and our local community!

In Christianity, perhaps no person symbolizes the power of family more than Mary, the mother of Jesus. Join J. Sylvan as we take a look at early Christian writings about the Virgin Mary that didn’t make it into the Bible. You might gain a new perspective on this miraculous mother figure, and on the idea of Holy Family.
