This annual celebration of our community is followed by the Annual Meeting of the Congregation. We welcome new members in this service and recognize our bridging youth.

Choir Sunday
The UUCV choir presents a program of music celebrating UU composers. Our denomination is abundantly blessed with musical talent, and fortunately for us, a lot of them are composers! “Come join us in song, let the blessings abound – let us sing!”
Coming of Age Sunday
The Coming of Age youth (ages 12-14) share their last six months of learning, laughing, and stories. This is also the first Sunday of our Summer schedule where we offer one worship at 10:30 am. We will return to two services in September.
A Fair World
We declare that every person is inherently worthy and has the right to flourish withdignity, love, and compassion.
Flower Festival
This service for all ages celebrates diversity, equity, and inclusion – a radical act when the service was created in 1923 and, unfortunately, a radical act a century later. You are invited to bring flowers to represent yourself and those who attend with you.
Building a Bridge to Welcome and Opportunity
Elisha Hardekopf returns to UUCV to reflect on the process, product and practice of bridging divides. How can we be different and also belong in community? Elisha Hardekopf is the Director and Facilitator for the WSU Vancouver Building, Community of Enrichment (BaCE) Program.
Throw a Song in the Water
Inspired by a song by Dave Irwin, I’ll reflect on our interdependence as we figure out our part in the complicated web of it all.
Earth Day and Easter
We celebrate the resurrection of spring and of hope. It’s all related!
Being and Interbeing
I love that language is generative. That is, when we don’t have a word for something, we can invent one. This morning I specifically want to look at the terms “interbeing” from Thich Nhat Hanh and “Nosotroficación” in Spanish which can be roughly translated into “We-ification.”
The Web Of Which We Are a Part
Our UU values recognize and honor that we humans are deeply embedded in the web of existence. Our theology calls us to protect the earth and its precious resources, which includes one another. How can we ensure that our work for environmental protection remains connected to human liberation and keeps love at the center?
