SUMMARY:A "visit" to Unicamp (note: no need to gas or charge the car for this one!)
DESCRIPTION:It’s hard to describe Unicamp as anything other than magical. Unicamp is home to so many of us. Whether we grew up attending or recently discovered it\, Unicamp is a place where many of us feel accepted and free to be ourselves; a place where we build lifelong bonds and a sense of community where we live out our UU values. Unicamp has Kids’ Camps (during July) and family and adult programming that anyone is welcome to join throughout the rest of the summer (from mid-May to mid-October). The land and the community are exceptionally bright and loving. This 50-acre valley\, hidden near the small town of Honeywood\, Ontario\, takes care of us. It has a pond we can swim in\, forests and meadows we explore and relax in\, a communal dining hall\, a spiritual center\, access to Cowpie Hill with a beautiful view of Mulmur County\, Sunday services (which are outdoors if the weather is nice)\, weekly dances (which always includes our classics: the Time Warp and Cecelia by Simon and Garfunkel)\, and so much more. \nJoin Joanna Barrington (Unicamp’s Director) and Kaitlyn McLay (Unicamp’s Children’s Program Director) as they talk about the magic of Unicamp and invite all who have never been to check it out! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNursery Care will be provided on site at 122 Harris St. \nLooking for more information on Unicamp? Check out their brochure.

SUMMARY:Evil: God’s Problem (and Ours)
DESCRIPTION:Many thoughtful people have wondered\, why does God allow so much suffering in the world? Philosophers call this “the problem of evil” and it is this question that has led many to atheism\, or to no longer believe in a traditional understanding of God. We will consider some different religious and non-religious responses. How do we wrestle with this question as Unitarian-Universalists living in the world today? Speaker: Hannah Schell \nService leaders: Margriet and Michael\, with help from Janette\, Seanna\, and Brian. \nNursery Care will be provided on site at 122 Harris St. \nPlease email admin@guelph-unitarians.com for the service link.

SUMMARY:Chalice Café: How we travel together
DESCRIPTION:Last week we learned that the word “covenant” comes from covenir\, to travel together. Some of us chaff at the religious connotations of the word covenant but embrace the significance of traveling together – in all its unavoidable messiness and challenges. We value sharing what matters to us\, confidentiality and safety\, thinking independently and coming together in community. And we want to face the future with honesty and integrity as we think about our “next steps.” Let’s gather and continue the conversation. Service put together by Blue Team (Michael Gilbertson\, Hannah Schell\, and Lorna Wyllsun). \nPlease email admin@guelph-unitarians.com for the Zoom link. \nOn site nursery care will be available during this service. \n

SUMMARY:Chalice Cafe: Covenanting Together
DESCRIPTION:Join us Sunday for our Chalice Café\, where we’ll be discussing Covenanting Together. Many of us have different reactions to hearing about Covenanting.. However\, it’s an important facet to how we agree to come together\, and maybe more importantly how we agree to disagree. Come with your ideas\, opinions and suggestions on how we covenant within our congregation and the wider community! Childcare will be available on site for this service.

SUMMARY:The Revolution will not be "Telev... Zoomed"
DESCRIPTION:February is Black History Month. As Unitarians we go into this month with much to be proud of: Our newly adopted Eighth Principle\, a long history of fighting for justice and equality\, our own martyrs and heroes in the struggle for Civil Rights. But what are the practicalities of the Long Walk to Freedom\, in fighting the scourge of racism? Would we be prepared for that brave new world? Where we deal not with abstract ideals but with new realities\, new joys\, new freedoms and new challenges. Join us on Sunday for “The Revolution Will Not be Telev…..Zoomed” a talk about our ideals as Unitarians and their possibilities and challenges. Email admin@guelph-unitarians.com for the link.
