Join us for a special multigenerational Earth Day service as we explore our place in the universe, from our local community to the vast cosmos, and reflect on the awe, wonder, and responsibility of sharing this “pale blue dot.” Through interactive elements, storytelling, and shared gratitude, we’ll celebrate the interconnected web of life and our call to care for the Earth and one another. All are invited to bring a piece of recycling for our participatory recycling offering, symbolizing our collective commitment to caring for our planet.

Nominate a Local Group for Donate the Plate, 2026-27 Year
UUCC has a long history of supporting other local groups doing good in our community. Donate the Plate happens the third Sunday of each month. The entire offertory collected goes to a specified local organization to help sustain their mission. We seek ideas from the members of our congregation for worthy not-for-profits in Hamilton County. Once the nominations are gathered, the Social Justice Committee will make the final selections and create the Donate the Plate calendar for the fiscal year, July 2026-June 2027.
|
Look for the nomination sheet in the fellowship area starting April 5. You can also send your nomination to judygallagher@uucc.org. Organizations must have a physical place a check can be mailed to; and be a local group, not a national organization. Please provide an address or website and/or phone number. Deadline for submissions is April 30.
Questions? Seek out Judy!

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.
