November 15. Community Worship: “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?”

This is an age-old question. The hurt of a personal pain, one that has touched the heart, is the hardest damage to repair.

Rev. Linda will share reflections, and there will be poetry, music, and art to hold us in a healing hour.

This Sunday the Social Action Collection is designated to be given to our Hospital Meal Packet Program.

Would you like to light the chalice for community worship? Great! Everyone is welcome to serve as the chalice lighter. Sign up for a Sunday here. You will be contacted with instructions on how to record a video of your self/family/household lighting the chalice for our weekly worship service.

We would love to have you light the chalice!

Virtual Multi-bread Communion Sunday November 22—Send a photo!

This year, since we can’t be together to break bread as we usually do for our pre-Thanksgiving touchstone multigenerational worship, we are inviting everyone to send in a photo of your family’s favorite bread. We’ll use all the images we receive by Friday November 20 at 5PM to create a slide show that will be part of Sunday’s Community Worship at 11AM, Sunday November 22. Our different images of bread will help represent the unity within our diversity.

You’re invited to send in a photo of yourself/your family making bread or eating bread or of relatives breaking bread. Or, simply send in an image of bread that represents your ethnic heritage or beloved family traditions. Send your images to office@uucharlottesville.org
