Thanksgiving Meditation

Let us rejoice for the families who have gathered this Thanksgiving to express their thanks and to celebrate the bounty of their lives.

Let us join together in support of those whose families are far away, with distances in many forms.

Let us hold one another in gentle reverence this holiday of Thanksgiving for we are here to celebrate, to worship, to be thankful for what we have.

Life, newly born among us this year, will carry our legacy into the future.

Death among us this year has given us tears of sorrow and yesterdays to remember.

Illnesses, accidents, and surgeries among us this year thave reminded us of the fragileness of our lives.

We have had marriages, reunions, reconciliations. And, we have had, and still do have, our Beloved Community, our religious home where we come together in love and compassion.

For all these things, we give thanks this day.

Let us be silent together.

We would love to know you better.

The CUC is inviting UUs across Canada to share your experiences, hopes, and perspectives. We are here to listen and learn. Because when we understand who we are — and who we are becoming — we can show up with greater care for the congregations and members we serve.

Your perspectives, ideas, and experiences will help guide our shared work. Your insights help us to understand what supports your community needs most, where national resources can make the greatest impact, and how we can continue growing and nurturing strong, connected UU communities.

The Days of Awe Begin with Us

The Days of Awe begin with us tonight.
May the next ten days be days of reflection, introspection, and peace.
May we prepare ourselves for the changes in the year to come.
May it be a good year.
May it be a healthy year.
May it be a year of peace for all of us, all around the globe.
May it be a year of peace within ourselves.
May we live our lives with integrity, service, and love.
May we be blessed with the strength of this community, of our families, of our friends.
May we remember what is truly important in life and may we remember to be grateful every day.
May we all be inscribed another year in the Book of Life.
La Shanah Tovah!

"Patriotism is love. It's gratitude. It's saying, 'I care about my country enough to tell the truth about it, to celebrate what's good and work to fix what's broken.'"

If you haven't heard about tonight's Dismantling Barriers session, this is your invitation.

Tonight at 7 pm ET, Camellia Jahanshahi leads a conversation on governance that we think is especially relevant for congregational leaders right now.

Here's why it matters:

Governance isn't just procedure, it's the architecture of how we relate to each other. The structures our communities operate within shape who gets to participate, how decisions get made, and whether our actions actually reflect our values. Tonight we'll look honestly at different governance models, their tradeoffs, and how structure can either create barriers or dismantle them.

As a congregational leader, you live these questions every day. This session offers language, frameworks, and honest conversation to help you navigate them with more intention.

We hope you'll join us tonight.

When: Thursday June 25 ·4:00 pm PT | 5:00 pm MT | 6:00 pm CT | 7:00 pm ET | 8:00 pm AT | 8:30 pm NT

On this National Indigenous People’s Day, we recognize and celebrate the history, heritage, resilience, and diversity of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples.
We also recognize the importance of uncolonizing ourselves and our spirituality.

If you care about the future of this faith — this session is for you.
RAMP! brought together emerging and established UU leaders — young and seasoned, from communities across the country — and asked them to learn from each other. To mentor and be mentored. To take on real projects rooted in their values. To build relationships that cross generations and geography.
On June 27, they share what came out of it.
Come hear the innovations, the honest lessons, and the stories of what became possible when people truly invested in each other. The intergenerational relationships forged during RAMP! are a living expression of the enduring values shaping our communities — and this public session is your invitation to witness and celebrate them in real time.
You don't need to have been part of RAMP! to attend. You just need to care about where this faith is going — and be open to finding some hope and inspiration in the answer.
