What a wonderful service at UUCville. We had our multi-bread communion and Rev. Leia shared a beautiful story and homily. The service was followed by a delicious potluck and we sold fair trade olive oil to support Palestinian farmers. What a great day! #Charlottesville #loveinaction

What wonderful music during today's Sunday morning worship. The choir was joined by a number of church members to create a "pick-up" choir. They performed "And When I Rise" during our annual Ancestor service at which we create an altar of remembrance honoring beloveds who have died #memory #love

Here are two "Help Each Other" signs that were part of an interactive art display installed in front of our sanctuary on Rugby Rd. Passers-by were invited to take signs and place them around town. Here are two of the signs, one in the Fifeville neighborhood in Charlottesville and another in Crozet!

⚖️ Today’s Supreme Court ruling in Skrmetti endangers trans youth by upholding bans on gender-affirming care.

Trans lives are sacred. Denying care is a moral violation.

Unitarian Universalists embrace transgender, nonbinary, intersex, and gender diverse people... We also believe that denying healthcare to the trans community is a moral violation."
