December 14, 2025: Creating Sanctuary in Community

More Details Live Stream or in person!

This music service with Susan Swaney and the UUCB Choir will invite us deeper into the theme of sanctuary. Creating music together is one of the ways we deepen our connections, solidarity and community as a form of sanctuary.

December 21, 2025: Cultivating Sanctuary Within

More Details Live Stream or in person!

We often think about sanctuary as a place or an act of providing protection, but there is also power in being able to create a sense of peace, safety and sanctuary in our own spirits. How can this practice help us find rootedness and peace amid tumult and uncertainty?

  • Library Book Club - Library

    Wednesday, December 10, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
    Not your ordinary book group! Here, each person selects a different book from our own UUCB Fuchs Library – whatever topic or genre that appeals to you! Read something you find engaging, and then at the next monthly meeting, share your discoveries and responses with the group. Discussions may range wildly as everyone learns about the titles others read. Participants may attend by Zoom but will need to arrange a time to come into the library to check out a book. Facilitated by Ginny Richey, UUCB Librarian. Meets on the first Monday of the month starting on October 6 through May, 7-9 p.m. in the Library.
