One Service at 11:30 a.m.

This music service with Susan Swaney and the UUCB Choir will invite us deeper into the theme of sanctuary. Creating music together is one of the ways we deepen our connections, solidarity and community as a form of sanctuary.

In this service, we reflect on the many traditions of this season and how they nurture resiliency, community and sanctuary. Special music from Carrie Newcomer.

All voices are welcome and celebrated at this service built around a Community Singing Circle. What a gift it is to sing our joys and sorrows together! Please note that we will only have ONE service on Sunday, November 30, at 10:30 a.m.

For this service, everyone is invited to bring a grain-based staple that is reflective of your family traditions to share as part of the service.

We will celebrate how everyone has a gift to share and all our gifts are needed to nurture communities of resilience and sanctuary.

A Celebration of Life for Cathy Larson will be held on Saturday, November 22, at 11 a.m. in the Meeting Room. A reception will follow in Fellowship Hall.

Rev. Nic Cable

This time of year seems to always be filled with reflections on gratitude. Year after year, we are invited to live with gratitude, to practice gratitude, and to see gratitude as a gift. Who could say no to gratitude? Rev. Nic Cable will offer what he calls the gist of gratitude in hopes that as Unitarian Universalists we can Give Generously, Serve Selfishly, and Thrive Together.

Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray

This service will reflect on the origins of Armistice Day and the shift to Veterans Day. How do we honor those who answer the call to serve one’s country even as we remain dedicated to peace and non-violence? Special music from Voces Novae with gratitude for all of the support from UUCB.

A Celebration of Life for Thomas Gregory will be held on Saturday, November 8, at 2 p.m. in the Meeting Room. A reception will follow in Fellowship Hall.

Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray
So much of our society encourages us to orient toward want – to be consumers and takers. It also fosters greed and discontent. How can gratitude help us re-orient ourselves toward generosity and contentment?

Día de Muertos reminds us of the importance of living, singing and celebrating as we remember our ancestors. Everyone is invited to bring a photo or memento of a loved one or ancestor. Together we will build altars to remember our loved one. Children (and adults) are invited to dress in Halloween costumes for our parade.
