We are an active and growing church, full of passionate and committed members and friends, grounded in the history and heritage of liberal religion . Our shared ministry enlists the whole church family in living out the values we proclaim. At home, at church, and in the greater community, we strive to make a world that is based on mutual understanding and respect. The UUCH provides a welcoming, di

verse community that nurtures each person's life-long spiritual journey, creates a place of peace and celebration and strives for social justice as well as sustainable living.

UUCH will not meet during the summer for Sunday services, but events are still happening there! The first event will be on Friday June 12 from 6:00-7:30 pm: Linguistic Gymnastics in Spanish with Maria Salgado. Join us sipping, singing, laughing, and enjoying a little levity as we tune our ears to a different language. Definitely good to boost the neuroplasticity of the cerebral region! Just fun y'all! Light refreshments will be provided.
On Sunday, June 14 from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m., the Southern Poverty Law Center will present a discussion on the housing crisis in Virginia. For more information, go to www.splcenter.org.

Please join us on Sunday, May 31 at 10:30 a.m., when Gerry Murphy will speak on "The Perennial Tradition: Distilled Wisdom from the World's Major Religions."
This will be our last service before our summer break. But watch this space for notice of special activities planned periodically through the summer!

I am proud to join with over 100 faith leaders denouncing political violence and condemning attacks on free speech and the independence of our country's nonprofit organizations. Unitarian Universalist religious tradition upholds values of pluralism and justice and encourages free speech and open discussion from people of diverse backgrounds and experiences.

I join with other people of faith and conscience in calling on all political leaders, including the President and his administration, to unequivocally support freedom of speech and religious liberty, and to ensure that the government does not target individuals and nonprofits for exercising that freedom.

We the people are the democracy; it lives in our commitments to one another, and we make this powerful idea real only when we can live our values fully and without fear of violence or retaliation.

We have an exciting class to kick off our Wildcrafting Workshops this November 🥳 Join us for our Seed Saving class on Saturday, November 1st, anytime between 10 am and 4 pm.

We will have stations set up by seed type for processing and identification. We also will have pole beans at the stations for marigolds and sunflowers 🌼 Plus we will have cosmos, zinnia, and dahlia, which we will show you how to winnow, and loads of veggies (variety of tomatoes, squash, pumpkins) 🎃

After you process and identify your seeds, you will put them in envelopes and label them to share 🥰

Please join us on Sunday, September 21 at 10:30, when Jen Heglar will lead us in our 2nd annual Corn Dolly Celebration. This is a traditional European craft meant to celebrate the harvest and to offer protection to the family, the livestock, and the crops.

Please join us on Sunday, September 7 at 10:30 a.m., when we meet together to celebrate Water Communion. Bring with you a small bit of water – maybe it’s from a river you went boating on or just from the backyard faucet where your children played in the sprinkler -- to add to our common vessel.
This is our first service after a summer apart, and it honors a broader aspect of community: that we are each on individual journeys, but those journeys merge into one larger adventure that we are all on together.

This Sunday evening from 5:00 to 7:00 we will come back together after a summer of travel, adventure, or solitude to share food and conversation. We will meet at the Tumbling Creek Cider Company taproom at the Abingdon Commons at Main Street and Cummings. Please bring a potluck dish to share. Tumbling Creek has alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available for purchase.
