Choosing to Bless the World
Rev. Tim Temerson & Carolyn Fitzpatrick

At the UU Congregation of Charlottesville, we are blessed by the many gifts each and every one you bring to our congregation. Today’s service will celebrate our gifts and the choice we make to share those with each other and the wider world. Today marks the kick-off of our faith development program for children and youth and the service will be followed by UUCville’s annual Service Fair.
