SUMMARY:Second Sunday Book Group
DESCRIPTION:The Vancouver Unitarians’ Second Sunday Book Group meets after the Sunday service on the second Sunday of each month (except July and August). We meet at 12:30 pm in the Biddle room and online (by request – please contact rdainow[at]gmail.com if interested in attending online). Everyone is welcome. \nOn Sunday\, March 9\, all are welcome to dive into “The Candy House” by Jennifer Egan—a thought-provoking\, award-winning novel that explores memory\, technology\, and human connection. Told through a series of unconventional yet interconnected narratives\, the story revolves around “Own Your Unconscious\,” a futuristic technology that lets people upload their memories to a collective digital space in exchange for access to the memories of others. If a technology like ‘Own Your Unconscious’ existed\, how do you think it would change relationships\, identity\, and society as a whole? \nCome share your thoughts\, interpretations\, and questions in a lively discussion! Whether you’ve read the book cover to cover or are just curious about its themes\, we’d love to have you join the conversation.\n\nWe hope to see you there! Happy reading!\nif attending online\, please join using the link: ucv.im/second-sunday-books or click on blue JOIN MEETING button below.

DESCRIPTION:Rev. Shawn Gauthier\nThis Sunday\, Rev. Shawn gathers with a number of the elders of our congregation to reflect in conversation about the highs and lows across their many years at VanU. This circle of elders will speak about when they’ve been proudest of the congregation\, when they’ve been most concerned for its well-being\, and what hopes they hold for our future. \nDownload the Order of Service\nRelated Reading\n— \nWeekly services\n\nWe gather every Sunday morning at 11am in our Sanctuary at 49th and Oak and online at vanu.ca/live. Worship creates connections within\, among\, and beyond us\, calling us to our better selves\, calling us to live with wisdom and compassion. \n\nAfter service\, we gather in Hewett Centre for Coffee and Social Hour. Families with children and newcomers are always welcome!
