Upcoming Services

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?
