Thursday, April 2nd, 2026, 7:30 PM: Tenebrae Service

Tenebrae Service: A Time of Darkness and Shadows Location: UUYO Sanctuary. Tenebrae is a Latin word that means darkness, shadows, or gloom. It’s historically done to recount the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion, where the sanctuary and all of us descend into darkness through the retelling of the story. It’s a special service before Easter, and it’s a good service for those curious about the parts of our story that include darkness and shadow. Participants: Rev. Joseph Boyd: Minister Jeff Crouse: Guitar & Vocals Jennifer Ruth Boyd: Vocals Tom Smotzer: Piano Tim Raridon: Vocals

March Give Away the Plate: League of Women Voters

League of Women Voters: Mission, Work, and Why Support Mission The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that promotes informed, active participation in government, increases public understanding of key policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. What the League does Founded in 1920, the League works at the national, state, and local levels through more than 800 Leagues across all 50 states, Washington, DC, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Hong Kong. The League does not endorse or oppose political parties or candidates, but it is political: it advances democracy by expanding participation and ensuring all Americans have a voice through public education and advocacy. Why support the League The League is member-driven and grassroots—its impact comes from the involvement of its members. Members learn about government and policy, practice respectful, effective public discussion, and take informed action. The League’s study-and-consensus approach ensures positions are carefully researched before taking a stand, and its public forums and debates are recognized for fairness, transparency, and civility. Support—time, money, or both—helps strengthen communities and makes your investment in democracy go further. Find out more at: https://my.lwv.org/ohio/greater-youngstown/who-we-are-0
