"Widening the Circle for Justice "
Reverend Jaimie Dingus
10:45 AM, Sunday, Feb 27
In 2020, the UUA's “Widening the Circle Report” began a conversation on how Unitarian Universalism might best live into its commitments to Justice and Equity. Let’s explore how we might implement these findings in our own community, widening the circle for justice, compassion, and love!

Happy News! Return to In-Service Worship
Friends, the UUCH Board continues to monitor the Covid-19 situation in our community closely. As case numbers and hospitalizations have rapidly decreased, your leaders feel it is safe to return to our multi-platform (Online and In-Person) way of worshipping sooner than expected! All are welcome to join Rev. Jaimie and the worship team for an in-person service on Sunday, February 27th. Please wear your mask the whole time, and space yourselves out within the sanctuary. If you are feeling sick, have had close contact with someone who is Covid Positive, or just would prefer to take on less personal risk, please join us via our live stream on Zoom!
Looking forward to seeing many of you in person on February 27th!
