Digital Literacy & Safety, 2/11

by

3 PM on Wednesday, February 11 in the Sanctuary.

This workshop will focus on digital literacy and keeping yourself safe online. With the advances of technology in social media and AI, the scams being used have advanced with them and are more effective than ever. We’ll spend time talking about websites asking you to “agree” to things (and why you don’t actually need to), dealing with a variety of phone call scam tactics, and keeping your accounts and identity safe online. Feel free to bring your phones, laptops, and tablets if you’d like.

Birdseed Winter Wreath Fundraiser, 2/8 & 2/15

by

Elaine K. is making beautiful Birdseed Winter Wreaths as a fundraiser to buy stamps for the Democracy Action Team’s 2026 letter writing project. This project will educate voters who have fallen into disinformation and will get out the vote for this year’s primary and general election. Wreaths will be available in the Social Hall after Sunday Service, costing $15 for a small wreath and $30 for a large one; cash or check only.

In the 2024 election 53 writers at the Fellowship wrote a total of 25,530 letters and postcards. Rigorous studies have shown handwritten letters to be an effective way to increase voting. We started writing educational postcards in early January. Eventually we will write by Zoom, in person, and on our own, and have fun doing it! Stop by the Democracy Action Table if you want packets of postcards for writing.
