Our mid-year congregational town hall meeting is a chance to learn about the state of UUC, as we pause to both reflect on what has happened so far in this church year and look forward. Emerging from a long period of disruption, we have strength, resilience, and much to be grateful for. All of which we will serve us well as we face new opportunities and challenges-such as how we do church and foster deep connections in a dual platform world, and how we will wrap up the capital campaign and pay down the remaining debt on our beautiful building.  This meeting will offer a window into important aspects of UUC’s health, progress and report-outs on key initiatives, and what we see on the road ahead.

We invited Rex Hohlbein to speak at UUC as part of our preparations to host Tent City 3 this spring. Rex has been connected to Tent City 3 for many years and lived within that community for a month as part of his own education when he started Facing Homelessness. He returned to Tent City 3 in early January of this year to meet and interview some of the current participants there in anticipation of bringing some of their stories to UUC.
