Welcome!

'Tending the Circle, Mending the World' Sunday, Oct. 2 at Live Oak
A service in Honor of the Jewish High Holy Days

Live Oak's Richard Stromer and Jay Roller will lead our annual observance of the Jewish High Holy Days on Sunday, Oct. 2.

We will explore the important Judaic practice of Tikkun Olam, commonly translated as “repairing or mending the world.” 

Tikkun Olam, which has roots dating back to the second century, has become a centerpiece of modern liberal Judaism. Deeply resonant with Unitarian Universalism’s own historical commitment to fighting oppression, the practice of Tikkun Olam is connected with many forms of social action, from racial and environmental justice to the women’s and LGBTQ liberation movements.

This service will also include our annual “Ritual of Letting Go.” Like the age-old Jewish custom on which it is based, this spiritual practice encourages us to self-reflection, hope, and renewal at this season of the year.

Our services start at 4 p.m. at Christ Episcopal Church in Alameda.  Please follow the protocols for live services below.

The Choir Has Returned, And So Have Community Meals

Live Oak has resumed in-person services at Christ Episcopal Church.

After a brief reprieve, community meals have also returned after the service. 

Everyone in attendance should be vaccinated, please. 

Every member of the choir, and anyone speaking at the service, will have passed a negative COVID test prior to the service.

Live Oak is applying these Covid precautions for in-person services:

 - keep Sanctuary doors open for air

 - ask everyone to wear N95 masks (and provide them),

 - any unmasked singer or speaker must take a home Covid test with negative results on Sunday morning

  We invite all to stay after the service for conversation and time to socialize masked.

  We all have different comfort levels around contact.  Please get consent before hugging, shaking hands, etc.

If you regularly receive emails from Live Oak UU Fellowship about upcoming worship services (and other activities), you will receive an email with access information for the next worship service on Zoom. Please contact us at  info@uuliveoak.org if you would like the codes.
