The UUA General Assembly is happening NOW through Sunday! If you go to the UUA.org website you can attend virtual sessions of your choosing. We will join hundreds of UU folks across the world for the GA Sunday Service at 10am; see information below.
I will miss you this summer and will be back on August 11.
Much love,
Cathy

The UUA Commission on Institutional Change is charged with the long-term cultural and institutional change that redeems the essential promise and ideals of Unitarian Universalism:

There are two ways to join the GA Sunday Service! Connection quality is likely to be better if you go directly to the service page on the UUA website...
Or: join our usual Zoom meeting for both the service and breakout groups. Probably the best option of all is to click on the ABOVE link for a good view of the service itself, then come back to "join" our local UU congregation for discussion and fellowship:
On Sunday, June 21st, Religious Education discussed the UU Flower Communion history and ceremony. We also created a fun drawing of a robot (with a loving heart ) carrying flowers. The youth were asked to give the drawing to someone they loved. Then we talked about Father's Day and its history in the U.S. Youth then shared what they would be doing to celebrate Father's Day with their family.
There will be no RE session this week, June 28.
We hope many of you will join the live stream of the UUA General Assembly worship.
