May 4 - Rev. Rayna, “Finding the Balance”

Unitarian Universalists are a justice-seeking people. Navigating our individual participation in change-making actions during these dynamic times of injustice can be challenging. Join us for a morning of reflection on making informed choices for our UU and personal social justice participation. We’ll share some practical self-care suggestions to avoid burn-out as justice seekers. Rev. Rayna Hamre serves as UUCA’s Affiliated Community minister. She identifies as a mystic who walks and teaches the Pagan path as a spiritual practice.

May 11 - Rev. Summer Albayati,“When the Storm Comes, We Move Together”

There is so much change happening right now that it may feel as if the whole world is in a storm. How do we find the way to move with and through the storm? Not running for cover, but finding who we must become to ride it out and emerge triumphant. When the storm settles, as it must, how do we help to keep the house from blowing away?  Video presentation by Rev. Summer Albayati, UUA Congregational Life Staff, Pacific Western Region.

May 18 - Rev. Judy, “ A Pilgrimage of the Heart”

Have you done any traveling? Around the block, in the States or abroad? Did you travel for relaxation, education, or to visit a loved one in joy or sorrow? Any travel can be made sacred depending on the setting of your mind and heart. All pilgrimages are an inner journey. Let's set out together.

May 25 - Rev. Rica Kaufel, “On Beauty and Suffering”

Beauty and suffering—a strange combination, and not one we are prone to make. And yet the two are closely related—in the world, but also in our own hearts. Originally born in Berlin, Germany, Rev. Rica Kaufel moved to the US for college when she was 20. She became a UU minister, & served UU Anaheim.  Rev. Rica decided to move back home to Berlin after becoming homesick during the pandemic.  There, she spent almost two years serving the German Unitarians, giving new impulses and trying her best at church planting.  She is currently exploring new avenues to let her ministry shine in Germany while still keeping close ties to Unitarian Universalism in the US.

Join us and socialize before the Worship Service. Email your joys and concerns or any announcements to include in the service by Saturday night to uuanaheim@gmail.com.

View our prior recorded sermons on our UUCA Facebook page.

Dear Fellow UU Anaheim Congregants

Wearing of masks at our in-person services and meetings is now voluntary. The reduction in Covid-19 infections has allowed this change, but those who wish to continue wearing masks are free to do so. We also recommend that attendees receive vaccinations for COVID-19, and if you are sick, please stay home. 

We will also again host our communal potlucks after Sunday worship services. Please contribute a dish if you can, and use the hand sanitizer for everyone's safety. We look forward to seeing you all here, either in person or virtually, however you are most comfortable. We will inform you by email and on our web site if conditions change again.

Warm regards, 

Your UUCA Board of Trustees
