Voices for Palestine Choir
Usually second and fourth Sundays at 1 pm at HUUF, with occasional schedule changes
Voices for Palestine is a community choir project dedicated to lifting hearts, soothing ragged nervous systems and uniting our voices for the peace and liberation of Palestine. If you need a break from your activism, or a place to gather with like-minded folks, or have had your heart broken open by the ongoing genocide in Gaza and are looking for a way to raise your voice and find others doing the work of advocacy and allyship: WE WELCOME YOU.
No previous musical experience is necessary. Just a desire to open your heart, and offer up a living, singing prayer for the people of Palestine. May our efforts be for their benefit, and for all those moved by this ongoing devastation.
Our choir is co-led by Sarah Hogan and Amy Day. For more information, contact Amy at minister@huuf.org
Pathway to Membership
HUUF Lay-Minister Amy Day is offering a Pathway to Membership series, following our Sunday Services. Grab a snack and a warm hello inside the newly-revamped Coffee Hour, then head over to the multi-purpose room to learn more. This is a great opportunity for members, both new, considering, or longstanding, to come renew their understanding of our unique faith tradition, and weave themselves more deeply into the life and future of this community. Email Amy at minister@huuf.org if you’d like to know more or sign up to participate.
Community Song Circles
Usually first and third Fridays at 4 pm at HUUF, with occasional schedule changes. To stay up-to-date about changes and get on the song circle-specific email list, email office@huuf.org.
“Group singing is a powerful catalyst for social change and community building. We sing for the joy of creating something beautiful together in the moment.” Maggie McKnight
Community song circles welcome all voices, bringing together people who love to sing, regardless of experience level. Song circles don’t focus on performing for an audience; instead, learn songs from a variety of traditions by call-and-response, and sing for the joy of creating something beautiful together in the moment. Group singing is a powerful way of connecting with each other, and with something deep within ourselves—and the music we make as we support each other through song call forth the singing voice that is every human’s birthright. Led by Maggie McKnight
Soul Matters Sharing Circle
Every second Wednesday of the month 7-8:30 pm in the HUUF Teen Room
Soul Matters is a small group experience created for Unitarian Universalist congregations that includes spiritual exercises, inspirational readings and questions that encourage reflection on daily living that helps participants explore monthly themes in more depth. Groups with shared identities or interests form in the Fall. HUUF hosts an open group every second Wednesday of the month. No long-term commitment is necessary to engage here. Come as you are and when you can. We welcome you. Email Lay-Minister Amy Day for more information: minister@huuf.org
Chalice Dinners
Many early spiritual and religious traditions emerged from simply breaking bread together – being in one another’s company and sharing conversation about the type of world we wish to live in and build collectively.
These groups form based on geography, so you can create mutual aid community in your neighborhoods. Groups commit to meeting at least six times with each other. Sign up here
