TOMORROW!!
Upcoming Saturday Service is on March 21 @ 5:00pm
"Discerning Truth"
St Margaret’s Cedar Cottage
1530 E. 22nd
In this service we will explore two different kinds of truth: the kind that emerges from our own deepest knowing within our selves, and the kind that is revealed when perspectives other than our own are considered. These two ways of knowing truth are both spiritual practices in their own way. Together we will practice touching these different ways of knowing through song, word, embodied awareness, and silence. All are invited to stay for a community potluck after the service.

Healing Together April 18, 2:00
Hello Beloveds,
Many of us still carry trauma and distress from the experiences that led us to leave NSUC. And while this resulted in us creating our wonderful UUSS community, we continue to be impacted and possibly limited by these experiences.
Please join us for a Healing Together session on Saturday, April 18th from 2 pm to 4 pm at St. Margaret's Cedar Cottage. This event will offer us an opportunity to share our stories and be witnessed as well as offer some tools and practices that can help us process our unresolved impact. The session will be lead by Lindsay Hindle, Casey Stainsby and catherine strickland.
After the Healing session, we will offer a light snack before the start of our monthly Worship and potluck dinner starting at 5 pm. The Worship service will provide opportunities to reflect on and integrate the work done in our Healing session.
We hope you will join us!
warmly, UUSS Healing Team

From Open Media:
Canada's political parties are DAYS away from permanently exempting themselves from the privacy laws every other organization must follow. If we don't act now, political parties walk away with a permanent free pass to invade our privacy. Tell your MP to stand with Canadian voters and Canadian democracy!
