Dear Fellow UU Anaheim Congregants
Due to the unfolding situation regarding the coronavirus, and out of an abundance of caution and care for our members, the Board of Trustees for UUCA has determined that our congregation will not be meeting until further notice.This means that we will not be meeting in discussion groups (the Philosophy Group, Issues Forum, etc) on Sundays. Nor will we be holding any official committee meetings face-to-face. We can still conduct meetings online and via email.
We are taking these actions in order to safeguard everyone from the possibility of contracting and transmitting the coronavirus. We are following recent California State and UUA recommendations.
We hope to resume meeting again for Sunday services and other church functions soon. We will review developments and be in touch regarding this situation, and we look forward to seeing you all again when it is appropriate.

UUCA Holiday Online Auction Fundraiser The
Unitarian Universalist Church in Anaheim will be holding an online
holiday auction fundraiser from Dec. 6 to Dec. 20. This will give us the
opportunity to raise funds for the church and for members and friends
to choose our auction items for gifts to others.
We are asking for donations to our fundraiser. Here are some ideas for donations that you might consider making: Meals
to go, like chili, soups, stews, tamales and anything in disposable
containers. Baked goods for the holidays. Candies and hostess gifts.
Services, like washing a car, walking the dog, gift wrapping, drop-offs
at the airport, grocery runs, and
house sitting or assembling furniture (IKEA). White elephant donations
of items that you don't really use or need, jewelry, antiques, or
anything else you can think of! Rummage around in your closets and
garage to see if you have items to donate that others can use. Anything
you can think of will be welcomed!
To donate, take a photo of the
item and send the photo to uuanaheim@gmail.com with a value. We will
determine the opening bid and additional bid increment.
Please submit your items to us by Dec. 1st. We will then post them to
our Online Holiday Auction Fundraiser website for bidding. Online auction bidding will begin Dec. 6th until Dec. 20th. Let's make this successful! We look forward to hearing from you.
Support for the Black Lives Matter Movement On July 19, 2020, the UUCA Board and Social Justice Committee issued the following statement of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. "We, the members of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Anaheim, in recognition of the long, pervasive history of racism against African-Americans and other People of Color in the U.S., wish to voice our support for the Black Lives Matter movement. We express our strong support for this movement by opposing police brutality, mass imprisonment of African-Americans, racial profiling, racial discrimination, economic injustices, voter restrictions, and other injustices which negatively impact the Black community. We vow to join the BLM struggle for justice and equality, and stand in solidarity with our African-American brothers and sisters."
