Mixing powerful songs and hundreds of beautiful PowerPoint projected images, Jim Scott’s lyrical melodies and outspoken poetry take us from grieving to celebration, and from protest to positive vision for the planet. As well as hard reality, the program’s message is one of optimism with many invitations to join in the singing. Sunday, January 25, 2026 in the UUCT Sanctuary at 1:30 PM.

Tickets by donation.
