Join Rev. Kevin and Renée Fonbuena to trace the primary roots of Unitarian Universalism and notice how those roots speak to your own journey and your own spiritual and ethical DNA. This single 90-minute session will be held via Zoom only on Wednesday, September 30, 7:00-8:30 pm. (Click here to join Zoom meeting.)

For more information and to RSVP (it helps us to have a sense of numbers) contact: Roots@uugrassvalley.org.
Thursday’s Walking Group walks the trails in Condon Park. Meet at the first parking lot from the main entrance to the park off Butler Street (near the group BBQ pavillion).
Singing Meditation is a wonderful spiritual practice that alternates shared singing with meaningful shared silences. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the ways that feel right to them.

What does it mean to be “in covenant” together, as a congregation and as an association? What does covenant offer, and what does it require of us?
