Making the Most of It – A 3-Session Exploration for Newcomers

Communications — Thu, 21 Jan 2027 00:30:57 +0000

Having sought out the UUCV community recently, you most likely did so because you were seeking something. At the heart of the spiritual life is reflecting on how to live meaningfully. How do we make the most of it? For each of us, the “it” might be slightly different. How do I live with a sense of purpose? Do I have connections with others that hold me? How can I be the most authentic version of myself? Can I connect with my sense of the sacred/holy/God?

This 3 session exploration is designed for newcomers and invites us to look at what motivated you to come to UUCV, and what you hope to grow/deepen by being a part of a spiritual community. What is at the core of your spirituality at this point in your life, with this congregation?

These sessions will be offered seasonally. Sign up by contacting Rev. Shana (via email rev.shana@shaw.ca, or via text 250-891-6331).

Winter session—#1: January 20 and 21, #2: February 17 and 18, #3: March 24 and 25

Spring session—All 3 session are in April — 7 and 8, 21 and 22, 28 and 29

Yours, Mine and Ours

Homilist: Rev. Shana
Service Leader: Kate MacDonald

In many ways, this month’s theme is rooted in having clarity about what I can control on my own, with others, or not at all. Where in my life do I have agency? Have I claimed it? Where do I need to accept the limitations of what I can impact?

Music: Christine Taber
Board Member on Duty: Lesley Duthie
