This month, we are exploring what it means to “Embrace Possibility.” Usually, we think of possibility as something far off in the future — but our youth are here to show us that possibility has a zip code, and it is right here at UUCR.
Through a “Construction Crew” lens, we will look at the blueprints of our faith. We will tackle the “Sunday Scaries” with comfort and personal stuffies, create a communal rainstorm in the sanctuary, and weave a literal safety net of connection. Whether you have been a builder here for 50 years or are a new neighbor walking through our open door for the first time, there is a place for you on our dream design crew. Come dressed for comfort and ready to build!
