March 2 - Celebrating Herstory and Unwavering Courage

Speaker: Rev. Judy Tomlinson

Women's History Month is a time to honor the contributions of women to American history, culture, and society.  In this time when women's rights are being dismantled, it is important to take inspiration from the women on whose shoulders we stand and take heart from women today who move the struggle forward!

March 9: “Nones, Dones and Scrabble Together”

Speaker: Rev. Phil Lund

What can UU congregations learn from an international toy company? Plenty! Like how to reinvigorate an experience steeped in tradition by making it more appealing to younger generations—without diminishing the essence of the original. Video sermon by Rev. Phil Lund, UUA Congregational Life Staff, MidAmerica Region.

March 16: “Inherent Mirth and Dignity”

Speaker: Liz James

What do you do when the life you’d imagined for yourself is stuck in committee? Join us for the story of the UU Hysterical Society… The practical joke that accidentally turned into a 230,000 person UU community on Facebook. It’s a story of feeling lost, finding yourself, and UUism-outside-the-box with UUHS founder Liz James. Liz James is the founder of a 270,000-person online UU community called the Unitarian Universalist Hysterical Society (UUHS); half of The Cracked Cup podcast; and is working on a book with Skinner House Press. She also runs Mirth and Dignity, an organization devoted to supporting diverse expressions of Unitarian Universalism. She believes in a Unitarian Universalism that is filled with meaning and joy, and that sees change as an adventure.

March 23: “The Power of Vulnerability”

Speaker: Rev. Judy Tomlinson

In a time when trust is being eroded we need to trust each other even more. This morning we will focus on the inherent human need for trust. We build trust through open communication, compassion, and taking responsible action. All the while, we understand that trust is fragile and requires ongoing nurturing within our congregations and the world beyond.

Dear Fellow UU Anaheim Congregants

The UUCA Board of Trustees has decided that the 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
