Passover Seder
Janet & Rich Kelly Hosting
Janet and Rich Kelly will lead a rousing celebration of Passover with an authentic Seder at Pen Ryn. You don't have to be Jewish to find meaning in this holiday. It is a metaphor for all who strive to be free and it embraces the 6th UU principle - the goal of a world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all!

NOVA was founded in 1974 as Women Organized Against Rape (WOAR). It was the first and continues to be the only rape crisis center in Bucks County. During the early to mid-1980’s when the federal government began to acknowledge and address the needs of victims of crime, WOAR was expanded to become NOVA, the comprehensive victim services organization in the County serving all victims of crime and to providing prevention education services. www.novabucks.org
THEMES
This year's overarching theme is
Reimagining the Common Good
This requires looking at society and ourselves because the common good is always in competition with individual needs and interests. The “letter” of the common good includes fundamental rights and freedoms but the "spirit" of the common good presupposes every person's inherent worth and dignity and seeks justice, equity, and compassion in human relations.
April's Theme is
Generosity
We cultivate a spirit of gratitude and hope. We covenant to freely and compassionately share our faith, presence, and resources. Our generosity connects us to one another in relationships of interdependence and mutuality. Generosity is essential to increasing the common good, given how so much good currently accrues to so few. Unitarian Universalist minister Richard Gilbert famously asked, “How much do we deserve?” There are too many who deserve more, but their needs can only be addressed through a reimagining of the common good.
