SUMMARY:Listening Circle on the State of the World
DESCRIPTION:We live in both beautiful and bewildering times\, and many of us feel the need to come together to try to make sense of it all. \nJoin us at in-person at 7pm when the Healthy Relations Team will facilitate a listening circle in the Fireside Room where we can talk about the complex feelings we’re carrying about global conflicts\, climate change\, and the state of democracy in the world. \nWhile there will be space to share what’s weighing on our hearts\, there will also be an invitation to look to where we can find hope and the seeds of resilience. All are welcome.

SUMMARY:Night for All Souls at Mountain View Cemetary
DESCRIPTION:Join Kiersten Moore and Casey Stainsby this Thursday at the Opening Ceremony for All Souls at Mountain View Cemetery. We will meet near the entrance at 5:45 pm to make it to the ceremony site for 6pm. This event has been held annually since 2005; It is personal and non-denominational\, with an artistic and communal atmosphere that speaks to our Unitarian Universalist principles. \nAll Souls at Mountain View Cemetery is an artist led annual event to honour our dead. It was conceived by artists Paula Jardine & Marina Szijarto. Over the years\, they have been joined by others who have shared their love and regard for their dead. \n“In many cultures around the world\, the days at the end of October and beginning of November are considered an important time for honouring the dead in our lives. In our modern\, urban\, and relatively transient culture\, traditional “village” customs have been left behind\, though not the human impulses that led to these traditions.” \nHeld during the last days of October\, people are invited to light candles\, write messages\, and leave personal memorials to remember their dead in an atmosphere of contemplative beauty. Often there is live music\, and small fires to gather around. \nVisit the All Souls at Moutain View website for more information and a list of all the events. \n

SUMMARY:Circle Dance – A Moment of Stillness
DESCRIPTION:Come Join us for Circle Dance \nNew dancers welcome! \nDances held the first Tuesday of every month.  Our Theme for December is A Moment of Stillness. \nWinter is a sacred time of rest and reflection; the energy of winter is that of going within. It’s the fruitful darkness and silence out of which our souls’ yearnings and new inspirations can eventually emerge. Through dance\, we will experience  how darkness can nourish us and help us find stillness in challenging times. \nContact Leslie Kemp or Mairy Beam [mairyelesbea[at]gmail.com] for more info. \nCircle Dance is part of Vancouver Unitarians’ Spirituality and Practice\, click here to see similar events \n

SUMMARY:Rev. Shawn's Installation
DESCRIPTION:Come and celebrate the installation of our new-ish minister Shawn Gauthier at 4 p.m. on May 5th. That Sunday will look a little different\, in that the regular 11 a.m. service will be led by Rev. Claire Feingold-Thoryne\, a visiting minister and close friend of Shawn’s. \nThen at 4 p.m.\, we will have the formal Installation Service\, led by Shawn\, congregational leaders\, and visiting clergy which will include the full participation of the congregation. (Please click HERE for the words of promise that Shawn will say to us\, and we will say to him.) Also in attendance at the service will be visiting clergy from across Canada and the U.S.\, as well as representatives from the CUC and neighbouring Unitarian congregations. \nAt 5:30 p.m. we shall begin the reception in Hewett Hall\, with hors d’oeuvres by a caterer. Congregants are encouraged to bring sweet or savoury finger foods to make it a truly community feast. Given the large number of people in the Hall\, please try to bring something that requires little or no kitchen preparation. \nWe hope that you will join us on this rare ceremonial occasion. RSVP below so we can order the appropriate amount of food. Please also to let us know if you are willing and able to help with set up or clean up. \nWe look forward to experiencing this celebration of our shared ministry together. \nCarolyn Grant and Michael O’Neil \nInstallation Committee Co-Chairs \nDownload the Order of Service
