Order of Service
Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Charlottesville
AWAKENING!
This Easter Sunday is a multigenerational Sunday, in which we honor both the darkness of the winter and the new life that comes with the spring, as found in the stories of the Passover, Good Friday and the Resurrection. The choir will be singing, Revs. Linda and Leia leading us in a celebration of Hope for us all, and weather permitting we will have a special garden reception.
This whole-congregation service welcomes people of all ages to join together in our Sanctuary for services or via zoom. CLICK HERE for our safety protocols.
