Hurlburt Auditorium in the Bonnie Student Center, 8:30-9:00 AM

Led by Youth and Middler Chaplain Lauren Levwood and Worship Coordinator Elizabeth Schell with musical offerings by Billy Jonas 

We will begin our week with a special multi-generational worship experience starting at 8:30am and ending by 9:15am in order to especially accommodate our young families so parents/caregivers do not have to choose between their spiritual nourishment and their required youth parent orientation that will follow worship. ALL AGES are welcome to celebrate in this festive service focused on centering love within our UU core values. Be prepared for some goofy (snort) UU humor!

Hurlburt Auditorium in the Bonnie Student Center, 7-7:45 PM

"Love at the Edges," led by Rev. Bill Neely, musical offerings by Caroline Cotter

Love is at the center of our denomination's new Shared Values. This reflects our tradition as well as who we are becoming, as we are a faith rooted in love that is still ever-growing in it. How does this love that remains central to who we are, lead us beyond ourselves to neighbor, stranger, and newcomer? How can our "center" strengthen us for ministry at the edges? 



Bill Neely is one of five Neelys who love SUUSI. He began attending in the 90's at the invitation of someone he would eventually marry. They now bring their kids, and it's their favorite week of the year. Bill is the Parish Minister at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton, NJ. He previously served congregations in Detroit and Memphis, and his first UU congregation was the Unitarian Church of Norfolk, Va (now Coastal Virginia Unitarian Universalists). He enjoys mud runs, coffee, the moon, pizza, and all Pittsburgh sports.

Unfortunately, Monday's scheduled Concert Hour performer, Reggie Harris, had to cancel due to COVID. Left with a programming gap to fill, two overcaffeinated members of the Nurture team hatched a wild plan. Introducing... ASFOBYWAT: Adults So Far Off Broadway You Need A Telescope! This shameless last-minute ripoff of TWOB will feature a Broadway revue starring Board and Core Staff members and friends, plus a heartwarming message about the True Meaning of SUUSI and a chance for the audience to sing along. Keep your expectations low and your sense of humor high, and make sure to join us in the Bonnie (Hurlburt Student Center) at 8pm on Monday!

Hurlburt Auditorium in the Bonnie Student Center, 8-9 PM

But volunteers are stepping up to keep things running. If you're registered for Pair-a-Dice, you should still be able to check out games as usual, 1pm to midnight. If you're not registered, come on by Monday night from 8 to 10 and play games for free! Maybe you'll decide it's worth registering for the week and coming back to one of SUUSI's favorite hangout spots.
