Before we gather for Sunday Worship, come Sing Out Love with us! On Sunday morning, June 22, from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. (ET), all GA registrants—whether in person or online—are invited to a joyful, spirit-filled hymn sing.

This multiplatform event will celebrate the power of music in Unitarian Universalist faith, lifting our voices together across time and space. Through song, we will embrace the themes of liberation, justice, and love that ground us as a people of faith.



Rolling Out the Sing Out Love Virtual Hymnal

At this year’s General Assembly, we are thrilled to introduce Sing Out Love, the new UUA Virtual Hymnal! Developed in consultation with the Association for Unitarian Universalist Music Ministries (AUUMM), the Virtual Hymnal Task Force has been working since March 2023 to create an accessible, equitable, and evolving collection of songs that reflect our prophetic calling as a joyful, liberatory, and anti-oppressive faith.

From Singing the Living Tradition to Singing the Journey to Las Voces del Camino, our hymnals have shaped the musical story of Unitarian Universalism. Now, Sing Out Love carries that legacy forward—embracing the songs of today and tomorrow.

Come sing with us on Sunday morning, June 22, and be part of this next chapter in UU music!

The Baltimore Convention Center (BCC) is deeply committed to maintaining high air quality standards, and has implemented several measures to ensure a healthy environment for everyone in the building:

• Hospital-Grade Filtration: The BCC uses MERV-16 air filters, the same standard used in hospitals, to effectively capture airborne particles and pathogens.
• Frequent Air Exchange: The facility’s ventilation system fully exchanges indoor air with fresh outdoor air four times per hour, keeping air fresh and circulating continuously.
• Ongoing Air Quality Monitoring: Air quality is continuously monitored — including carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) — through the Center’s energy management system, ensuring optimal indoor air conditions.

These initiatives are part of the BCC’s larger commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The Center has achieved third-party certification of the ASTM/APEX Standards for environmentally sustainable meetings, further demonstrating its dedication to providing a safe, healthy, and eco-conscious space for events like GA.

We look forward to welcoming you to General Assembly 2025 — together, we can help care for one another and ensure a safe and inclusive experience for all.

So set your clocks, savor that extra cup of coffee, and remember — whether it’s springing forward or stepping boldly into the future, we’re ready to Meet the Moment together!

Before You Go: A Blessing in Song

In our excitement as we collectively wait to explore the songs that will be included in the new hymnal, we leave you with a beautiful hymn written by Michael Abels that has been shared by the UU Musicians Network and included in UU gatherings across the country over the past few years. "Be the Change" by Michael Abels speaks powerfully to those gathering at General Assembly to discuss the UUA's future and to in community together. The line "the sound of a movement begins with one voice" reminds us that change starts with the individual but grows through the community we build together.
