WORSHIP SERVICE
“Sustaining Love in the Struggle”
Sunday, January 4, 10:50 am, 10:50 am, 2026
Rev. Ranwa Hammamy, Guest Minister, preaching
​
“Resistance is a long, thin, soft noodle covered in pink sauce.” At least, according to a two-year-old, it is. Come explore the nourishing possibilities of resistance with Rev. Ranwa Hammamy from Side With Love as we begin the new year.
​
Rev. Ranwa Hammamy (they/them) serves as the Congregational Justice Organizer on the UUA’s Side With Love Organizing Strategy Team. Based in Oakland, they also support local interfaith organizing around immigration and Palestinian liberation as part of their affiliated community ministry with the Mt. Diablo UU Church in Walnut Creek. When not organizing, Rev. Ranwa sings with the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, bakes theologically punny treats for their "Shugaria Law" anti-Islamophobia baking ministry, and makes sprinkle-based potions with their spouse and the aforementioned two-year-old.
