Unitarian Universalist Congregation
of Charlottesville
We welcome to our pulpit the Rev. Michael Cheuk, secretary of the Cville Clergy Collective. The Jefferson School’s “Swords Into Plowshares” is an innovative project to melt down the statue of Robert E. Lee that formerly stood in one of Charlottesville’s public parks and use the bronze to make a new work of public art. Rev. Cheuk will reflect on what “turning swords into plowshares” might look like for him and for our community. The choir will be singing under the direction of Scott DeVeaux, joined by accompanist, Professor John Mayhood, head of the UVA piano faculty. A special viewing area for families will be provided in the social hall. Childcare is provided for kids on the playground during services.
