CYRE Activities on Sunday, October 27th, During Service
Hurricane Recovery
Younger kids will spend service with Nancie and talk about the two hurricanes that have recently hit our, as well as our family’s and friend’s homes (Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Milton) They will read a book about hurricanes, and do weather/hurricane related activities.

What We Need to Thrive
Older youth will discuss Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs by creating their own character and letting fate (dice) decide what their person’s life is going to be like. This activity is focused on encouraging discussion of every day injustices that people face, the reality of privilege, and how people are impacted by public policies and human rights issues.

Linda and Richard McLeod, Members

We were looking for a church where we felt accepted both intellectually and spiritually, a place where all people and religions were regarded equally without condemnation. Our search began at UUCC six years ago and we never had to look any further. We found our place here with a community of like-minded people and it became our second home, our second family.

Jane and Bob Gillespie, Members

For much of our married life, we were without a church home, but felt our lives would be enriched if we could find a place where we were part of something greater than ourselves. The UUCC became that place. There, we’ve made great friends, enjoyed meaningful fellowship and found a sense of peace. It’s just what we were looking for.

Best Church:
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

“A church where skepticism is welcome and adherence to dogma is suspect? A church where all religions are invited but none are beyond introspection? A church that regularly presents nationally touring singer-songwriters? A church where half the congregation might have been at Hunter-Gatherer the night before? Now that’s a church we can support.”
