Celebrating Earth Day 2024

Monthly Theme: Love as GenerosityWhere: Center for Spiritual Living, Zoom: Sanctuary The Sunday Experience4:30 pm – Welcome and Hospitality5:00 pm – Evening Service (ZOOM Opens)6:00 pm – Refreshments6:30 pm – Continuing Conversations April 22 is the day we celebrate the Earth. Unitarian Universalism’s seventh principle, “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part,” makes this a day to celebrate religiously. In fact, I’d dare say we should be honoring, caring for, and celebrating Mother Earth all of the days of our lives. Let’s gather together to talk about the ways we can do our part as a […]

It’s an Easter Egg Hunt!

At long last our Easter Egg hunt is back! We will have eggs packed with goodies hidden all around the church. We have put a special surprise in a few eggs, so your child can start a savings account, maybe. The Egg hunt will begin after the service. During the service the children will have UU Play and Learning Trays they can take to their seats.

Children’s Play & Learning Trays

SepulvedaUU is honored and delighted to have children join us during our Sunday services. Though we currently do not have RE (Religious Education) classes for children, we offer a child’s UU Play and Learning Tray, located in the sanctuary, which children are invited to use while sitting with you in the sanctuary. Items included in the UU Play and Learning Tray provide thoughtful and educational amusement that we hope your children will find engaging. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Teri I for more information. We hope to see you and your whole family this Sunday!

Potluck and Party Games!

This is a great opportunity to laugh, have fun, and share your favorite potluck dish! We will also be playing party games organized by Marilyn. Please RSVP by Thursday, April 18 with your name and what you will be bringing. If you can’t bring food, you could bring cups, large plates, or forks and napkins. See you there!
