Living our values requires trust—trust in ourselves, in each other, and in the unfolding process. Using color and the practice of painting as our guide, we’ll explore how values move from intention into action. What does it mean to live your values out loud, where others can see?

Searching for Justice Tours
People are expressing their interest in seeing these historical sites! What about you? Please let us know by March 22 if you even MIGHT be interested, and which tour(s) you would like to go on. Sign-up on the Interest Indicator at UUCC on Sunday!
|
The UUCC Social Justice Committee is planning to travel to see the sites where history was made. On separate trips, we hope to visit Montgomery/Selma (an overnight on October 16-17 perhaps), Birmingham and Atlanta (both separate day trips). Trips would be open to all, ages 10 and above. Kids will need a responsible adult traveling. See the email sent on March 13 for more details and estimated costs.
|
Tell us how many people might would be in your group. This is not a sign-up obligation, just a way to guide us in our planning.

Be a Part of Our Small Group Sunday
|
On Sunday, March 29, our service will include a special time of small group discussion as we explore the stories behind our values.
|
|
We’re looking for five people who would be willing to help facilitate a small group conversation during the service. No experience is necessary—just a willingness to help guide discussion and make sure everyone has a chance to participate.
|
|
All information will be provided to facilitators ahead of time.
|
|
Facilitators may also take part in a few additional roles within the service if they’d like.
|
If you’re willing to help make this meaningful service possible, we’d love to have you be part of it.

UUCC has been operating an "Assistive Listening system (T-coil) to provide hearing assistance during services for those using T-coil equipped hearing aids. Unfortunately we are experiencing technical difficulties with this system. Before undertaking a project to try to resolve this issue, it would be very helpful to gauge the current need. If you or someone you know is using hearing assistance using T-coil technology, would you please contact the UUCC office as soon as you are able to let us know? The office phone number is 423-624-2985, and email address is office@uucc.org. Your response will be appreciated.

Singing is a resource, a gift, and a power that helps to connect us, to regulate our nervous systems, to metabolize our feelings. Singing from the heart is not about perfection its about changing ourselves and our world.
|
|
We will be sharing simple songs of historical significance (ie: "We Shall Overcome") as well as new songs for THIS moment in our collective history, including many being sung now by our friends in Minneapolis, MN. Whether you come to sing, breathe, or simply BE with us in these times, this space is for you and You are welcome HERE.
