Our Congregational Outreach and Social Justice Initiative 
by Gene Rubin and Dottie Kinscherf

On Sunday, October 1, 35 people met for our church’s first “Congregational Outreach and Community Engagement Summit.” Through presentations and group discussion – both large and small, participants talked about various aspects related to planning and engaging in social justice initiatives by our church. The two of us were invited to write a report about our impressions from this meeting.

   At First Unitarian Church of St. Louis we celebrate Cornbread Communion on the Sunday before Thanksgiving.  Traditionally, the cornbread is made the night before by church members and friends.
