10am-11:30am

In what might be a first-ever for CVUUF, we will hold tomorrow’s service “virtually”.

We will however be gathering on Zoom (an internet group platform) from 10 – 11:30. You can join us by phone or live on camera. We will light a chalice, share stories, hear uplifting readings, sing together, mourn the tragedies of these past few days and be in community even when we are physically apart. You can join us at any time during that window, or be with us for the whole time. And if you have CVUUF neighbors nearby, you may want to invite them over so you can have some fellowship, while we’re on the Zoom call together. If you know people who do not have internet, please let them know the phone number they can call tomorrow.

Here is the access information for zoom:

In our UU congregations, we focus on shared love over belief. We offer sanctuary by being a place where you are loved and accepted for who you are, in your wholeness, your brokenness, your uniqueness and your quirkiness. Love is what binds us together. Explore with us what it means to live out our Universalist heritage of love beyond belief.

It is a grace-filled moment when we are caught in the rain and someone offers to share their umbrella with us. We all need sanctuary at different times in our lives. Times when life gets tough to navigate. When it throws us a curve ball. Together we explore the beautiful gift of our interdependence, of being able to give and receive sanctuary to one another.

When we hear that “truth isn’t truth”, and our society is plagued with lies and fake news, how do we know what to believe? Where do we turn to find a standard of truth? What role does Unitarian Universalism play in guiding us in this quest? Join us for this service, which is Don Parker’s Auction winning topic.

On the eve of Yom Kippur, when we are encouraged to let go and forgive, we look at what it means to be a covenantal faith. Judaism has informed our faith with its emphasis on covenant. Rather than a covenant with God, however, Unitarian Universalism asks us to covenant with one another. In this service, we’ll explore how we can live deeply into our CVUUF covenant and the principles of our faith.

To begin our month focused on the theme of Vision, we share our congregational vision for the year, with priorities determined collaboratively by the Board and Minister.

When the daily news bombards us with injustice and chaos, and our world seems in disarray, it is even more vital that we find ways of cultivating joy, resilience, and hope. Without an intentional practice for cultivating joy and resilience, we can easily be led to despair and hopelessness. Join us to rediscover joy as a vital outlook and the core of who we are…

Fresh from Study Leave and vacation, Reverend Nica returns to us with her Minister’s Musings on this time of reflection and renewal. Join us to welcome her back and hear some of the insights she gleaned from having time for deep spiritual exploration.

Over the last few months, Reverend Nica and several CVUUF members have attended our UU Regional Assembly in Portland and the UUA General Assembly in Kansas City. Join them to hear reflections about our wider faith and learn new ideas, learnings and inspiration about our national movement.
