THIS SUNDAY!
June 7th at 11:00am
"Manna for the Journey"
with Casey Stainsby
Molly Nye House940 Lynn Road, North Vancouver
The Judeo-Christian story of how the Israelites wandered in the desert for forty years before arriving at their destination is full of rich lessons for any community going through a significant transformation. At our Sunday Gathering on June 7th, you are invited to hear and play with this wisdom story, to discover what it might have to say to you as an individual, or to you as a wider community. We might think about the promises that have been made, the things that sustain us through difficult times, and what is lost or changed along the way. The hope is that the act of engaging with an ancient story to see how it speaks to our current realities will be a kind of sustenance itself.

instead of June 20
"All the Colours of Who We Are"
Please join us as we celebrate All the Colours of Who We Are at our Pride Flower Communion. Please bring a flower, or several, in the colours of the rainbow so we can build a flower rainbow for our altar. Bring red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple flowers - you can bring one colour or many! UU Flower Communion is all about the beauty of our community and Pride celebrates the power of love and courage. We're also looking for a few folks willing to share a Pride story - your first Pride parade, your favourite Pride event, what Pride means to you - whatever story you'd like to tell. Please email Laura (lauramcnaughton1972@gmail.com) to let her know you'd like to tell a story.
We'll celebrate the beauty and diversity of our community on Saturday, June 13 at 5:00.

Emergent Strategy Book Club- Session 2
This Saturday, June 6 at 10:00am
Join us for the concluding discussion of Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown.
Our first gathering took place on August 30, 2025, where we explored themes from the book and reflected on how the CUC would actively practice emergence during the 2025–2026 church year—and invited you to do the same.
Now, ten months later, we’ll reconnect to explore what you’ve noticed: through the lens of emergence.
You do not need to have attended the first session to join this one. Anyone who is drawn to this work is warmly welcome. Registration for the event can be found here.
