RE (Religious Education)

at UUCSV with Susan E. Hicks

This week we continue our March animals theme with the Pixar short Dug’s Special Mission. 

We are currently collecting supplies (food, bedding, toys, etc.) to donate to a local animal shelter. Please donate as you are able.

Next week, Easter, will be a Multigenerational Service to include our annual Flower Communion (bring a flower to contribute as you're able). If your child would like to help us with the flower procession please let Susan know! 

Next week – March 31, 2024

“A Congregation Without Walls”

Rev. Michael J S Carter

I believe this is the first time since I have served here that we have had a New Member Sunday on an Easter Sunday as well as our Flower Communion which is our Easter Sunday ritual. I like it. Each of us has different beliefs that brought us to this place in our lives, especially regarding the holiday of Easter. That is to be expected and to my mind is the beauty of this UU tradition. We must remember this. This morning I will attempt to link the Easter story with our UU history for our New Members and a reminder to our "veterans." The Flower Communion is its own added beauty. Bring your flowers!

Watch for Circles!

In the interest of safety, Building & Grounds has painted circles around areas of the walkway between the North parking lot and the entrance doors where the lifting asphalt has created a trip hazard. Please avoid the painted circles.

Ukulele Players Unite!

We are looking to organize a ukulele group here at UUCSV and are

looking for interested players. NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED. Just a uke

and a willingness to gather to learn a few chords and start playing and

singing. All levels of experience are, of course, welcome. Guitarists and

singers are welcome too!
