Yes! We post our "services" on YouTube on the Monday following the Sunday on which they occur. I am not part of the service team so I feel ok saying that the reflections/services are excellent, varied, spiritual & thought-provoking.

There are seasons when we realise time has moved on, yet what’s broken still isn’t mended. That’s not failure, it’s a reminder that healing doesn’t follow the calendar. We keep showing up, keep tending what matters, and trust that repair takes its own time.

2 posts in 2 days, crazy for me :) but I thought I should share our Thanksgiving UU service. We have "no dogma", "diverse beliefs, shared values" & are "deity optional". Our lay-led service team do an amazing job

If you need some uplift, here is our first UU 'service' of the year, from our amazing lay-led service team. The main reflection starts around 25 minutes but there is some great music and thoughts before then. Diverse beliefs, Shared values. Enjoy! #UU #unitarian #unitarianuniversalist

@billybragg.bsky.social "As the country drifts slowly to war". That line of yours from Rumours of War has remained in my brain for 45 years. Sadly, so relevant for the world right now.

The Wahs playing at North Shore Unitarians on the North Shore of Vancouver tonight. Beatles with trad/Celtic overtones. Fantastic @uuhystericalsoc.bsky.social #unitarian #uu #canadianuu

The ministry of health needs to be aware patient care is being impacted by these delays. The new minister of health needs to phone up those in charge who we are paying a tone of tax dollars to and demand some answers.

In seeking to justify sending ICE into schools and churches, JD Vance declares “If you have a person who is convicted of a violent crime, you have to go and get that person to protect the public safety”.

Unless, it seems, that crime they were convicted of happened on January 6th 2021

Not sure of the original source of this, but the depiction with the final domino set to crush the pusher is devastatingly accurate.

The North Shore Unitarians, Vancouver, Canada - living by 8 principles - no dogma, deity optional - we just got a new sign. Wondering what y'all think of the tag line "Diverse beliefs - Shared values"? Does that work for you as a Unitarian? #unitarian #uu #unitarianuniversalist #liberalreligion

It’s time for THE charger.

Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.

It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!

On this Christmas Eve, and on every other religious festival of every other religion, my Unitarian arse prays for righteous vengeance on the Russian Federation. As Prometheus stole fire from the criminal Olympians, let Prometheanism burn the Third Rome to death.
Christmas eve when your neighbor is genocidal russia

(Kryvyi Rih today, after the russian missile attack on the city, that injured at least 11 people, including a 16 years old girl)
