Common Read: On Tyranny
2026-01-18 11:30 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Centre County, 780 Waupelani Drive, State College, PA, 16801, United States
First published in 2017, Snyder’s brief but powerful book outlines 20 clear lessons on resisting authoritarianism—lessons drawn from a century of European history and sharply relevant today. Join us as we explore how insights from the past can help us protect democracy in the present.
Only 127 pages, On Tyranny is packed with big ideas to generate discussion and for us to fill in the blanks – a guide for turning the tide against America’s movement toward authoritarianism.

Multigenerational Sunday Service - "We Face the World"
2026-01-18 10:00 - 11:00 | UUFCC – Sanctuary, 780 Waupelani Drive, State College, PA, 16801, United States
Join us for MLK Sunday as we experience an hour of fierce love and hope with folk singer, Crys Matthews, whose original music strives to bring equity and justice to shape this world. We are excited to hear her message and, along with her, lift up the voices of the oppressed who still suffer since the Civil Rights Movement.
About Crys Matthews:
A troubadour of truth, Nashville resident Crys Matthews is among the brightest stars of the new generation of social justice music-makers. An award-winning, prolific lyricist and composer, Matthews blends Country, Americana, Folk, Blues, and Bluegrass into a bold, complex performance steeped in traditional melodies punctuated by honest, original lyrics. She is made for these times. Justin Hiltner of Bluegrass Situation adds, her gift is a “reminder of what beauty can occur when we bridge those divides.” In her own words, Matthews says her mission is: to amplify the voices of the unheard, to shed light on the unseen, and to be a steadfast reminder that hope and love are the truest pathways to equity and justice.
