TOMORROW
Monthly Service
"Ancestors"Ancestors"
November 15, 2025 @ 5:00pm
St Margret's,1530 E 22nd Avenue
This month’s service will ask: who are our ancestors and what can we learn from them? We will use rituals to ponder how we might work with the spiritual inheritances from our widely-defined ancestors. Please join us for both the service and for a potluck after, and we welcome any helping hands with the cleanup.

HOLIDAY HAMPERS
A small group from the Social Justice circle has applied to the Christmas Bureau to sponsor a couple of hampers. We have not received our exact lists of requests yet, but $ will be needed to purchase the grocery gift cards that are required. You will have an opportunity at this Saturday’s November 15 potluck to participate in this happy tradition. Please come ready to donate if you wish. Many more details to follow soon.
Thanks,
Anne Mayall and Shelly Hrdlitschka

Care & Concerns Circle
The Care & Concerns circle is here to support the well-being of UUSS members. We want to be able to reach out to check in with folks who have been having life challenges and be able to offer a helping hand where we can. We like to be able to send cards of condolence and congratulations or just to say hello.
We would like to continue to offer community care circles every couple of months to give us another space to check in and be present with one another. These circles will take different forms and have different themes. We are thinking of hosting a knitting circle next, possibly before the holidays (hybrid, so you can be present with the group physically, or tune in from where you are) so stay tuned for more info on that.
If transportation is a barrier for you and you need a ride to a service or Sunday gathering, Care & Concerns may be able to help match you with someone who drives from your area. Just let us know!
Please do reach out to us if you would like to touch base with any of us. You can reach us at care.concerns.uuss@gmail.com.
Jacky, Jessica, Joy and Lindsay

Drax, the coal giant-turned-“sustainable energy” company, is purchasing rare, irreplaceable old growth in British Columbia, Canada and turning these trees into wood pellets to fuel power plants overseas.
Will you join me in signing this petition calling on B.C. to do the right thing and protect old growth forests?

National Worship Service
Sunday, Nov 23, 2025, 10am
Join us for a CUC National Service on Sunday, November 23, 2025 – featuring two of the newest members of the CUC staff team: Camellia Jahanshahi and Rev. Nicoline Guerrier.
What will hold us together today? As an antidote to a world built around us/them, we’ll lean into this counter-story: that difference makes strength, and that our distinctive model as UUs – based not on sameness but on cultivating relationship and shared commitments across differences of belief – carries seeds of the transformative solidarity our world needs now. Come meet this moment with us.
A coffee hour conversation will follow the service. Join at this link.
The full service, as well as segments for use as best fits with your local congregational culture, will also be made available to congregations as a set of recordings – to use at your regular service time or during congregational gatherings, if you prefer. Please fill in this form for the link. The recording will be ready Monday, November 17, 2025.
