UPCOMING WORSHIP SERVICES
This Sunday, we will meet both in person and remotely via Zoom at 11am. See details below. Join us!
October 13: “Why Do We Need to Be Saved?”
Speaker: Rev. Celia Young
While busy worshiping heroes and saviors, we risk surrendering our power of self-reliance. Rev. Celia Young is an ordained interfaith chaplain and founder of Authentic Living Ministry. She is a Unitarian Universalist and Buddhist. Looking toward the last quarter of her life, Ms. Young has expanded her ministry and spiritual activism from the workplace into the larger society where she helps heal the traumatized and suffering, mend the broken human spirit, and restore the basic goodness of humanity. Besides being a leadership and life coach, and spiritual activist, Ms. Young is an inspirational speaker. Currently, she is also a chaplain intern at the VA Hospital Long Beach.

Dear Fellow UU Anaheim Congregants
The UUCA Board of Trustees has decided that wearing masks at our in-person services and meetings is now voluntary. The reduction in Covid-19 infections has allowed this change, but those who wish to continue wearing masks are free to do so. We also recommend that attendees receive vaccinations for COVID-19, and if you are sick, please stay home. We will also again host our communal potlucks after Sunday worship services. Please contribute a dish if you can, and use the hand sanitizer for everyone's safety. We look forward to seeing you all here, either in person or virtually, however you are most comfortable. We will inform you by email and on our web site if conditions change again.
Warm regards, Your UUCA Board of Trustees
