Circle Round for Healing:

Honoring Suicide Loss - Follow Up

Wednesday evening we marked one year since Sue Morgan passed away by suicide (July 2) and honored all struggling with forms of depression and anxiety. Many of you who gathered brought stories that feel shameful and we proved last night, that they are common, and we need to stop the stigma associated with different kinds of brain health and wellbeing.

All-Church Picnic:

A Farewell to Rev. Denise

Sunday, July 31 - 11:30 am

after the service

Young and old are invited to join in fellowship, fun, and farewells. This is Rev. Denise Cawley’s final day with us so help us send her a fond farewell and thank her for her service. This will be a potluck event so look for more info in each E-News. Helpers are needed. Please contact Larry Hawley to volunteer.

Did you enjoy the Chili Cook-off last year? How about lending a hand with this year’s fun and being part of the Chili Team!

Plans are in motion for the 2022 Chili Cook-off. We’ll enjoy a beautiful autumn evening with fellowship, music, beverages, brownies, and bowls and bowls of delicious UUCW chili! 

CommUUnity Connections

provides a helping hand or tangible support to members of the church community in times of need.

CommUUnity Connections coordinator Kathy Lake created a Meal Train page for member Johanna Kaye. Meal Train is a way to organize meals for UUCW members in need of a few meals. It is easy to sign up to bring a meal to Johanna and her family.

The Meditation Group

The meditation group will meet at UUCW every Wednesday at 10 AM for 45 minutes (less if you so desire). If weather allows we can meditate outside near the west entrance and parking lot ( please bring a lawn chair).

If the weather is inclement we will meditate in the sanctuary. Please consider bringing a friend. 

Online Yoga: Tuesdays at 10 am 

Rev. Monica Cummings continues leading this group each week – new participants always welcome. Join from the convenience of home – or from your vacation get-away!

“Rev. Monica shows us how to tailor each pose according to our abilities and varies each week’s ‘choreography’ to add variety and freshness. The group is welcoming, cheerful, and full of good humor. Jan and I look forward to each week’s class.”                     -- Bob K.

The Rev. Denise Cawley

How do we react with love, even when we are surprised, confronted with something new or don’t understand? Life is always changing. Rather than reacting with rejection or hate, we can respond with pastoral support. How do we act as spiritual midwives, holding complex feelings and making space for new ways to be loving? Using film clips displaying controversial topics, and music from the popular British TV show, Call the Midwife, we will strengthen our compassionate caring abilities.
