A significant number of our Community have expressed serious grief over the results of the US election results. It has been suggested that we find a place to gather on Saturday to help share our grief and imagine how we can move forward. Shelley Hrdlitschka kindly offered her spacious home out at Deep Cove to gather for a potluck brunch. Carpooling is advised. RSVP

Covenant is the thread that joins Unitarian Universalist congregations, communities, and individuals together in a web of interconnection. The practice of promising to walk together is how we build beloved community.

Q: How many Unitarians does it take to change a light bulb?
A: We choose not to make a statement either in favour of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey, you have found that light bulbs work for you, that is wonderful. You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your personal relationship with your light bulb. Present it next month at our annual Light Bulb Sunday Service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, 3-way, long-life, and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.
