We are well into our second week of our new normal and UUCAer’s have rallied and shown that YOU are the church! UUCA is not defined by its building, but by its people.
- Over 300 came together online for worship last Sunday via our website and Facebook! And many more continue to watch the recording.
- A team of volunteers is reaching out and sharing our love by connecting with members and friends through phone calls.
- Staff and volunteers are working on a special effort to help those in need in the local community. Nothing is business as usual, so details must be worked out. Watch for an announcement.
- Our staff is providing tech support and resources to help our many groups and programming navigate this new virtual world.
- The RE staff is developing new online programming that give opportunities for community connection (and let’s not forget FUN!) for all ages.
- Music, social justice, and faith development programming is constantly being added, so watch your inbox and social media for updates (and see below).
We miss you and long for when we are truly together again. Stay safe and healthy and stay connected by joining our online community.

Podcast Discussion of NPR’s “White Lies”
Join a Zoom conference hosted by James Tsai for a discussion of NPR's highly-acclaimed podcast "White Lies" -- In 1965, Rev. James Reeb, a Unitarian minister, was murdered in Selma, Alabama. No one has ever been held accountable for his murder. Fifty years later, two journalists from Alabama return to the city where it happened, expose the lies that kept the murder from being solved and uncover a story about guilt and memory that says as much about America today as it does about the past. 7- part series begins April 1, 8:00 p.m. For more information and a Zoom invitation,
please follow this link.
