The Bubble

This Sunday we will listen to to a service from SLC First Unitarian by Reverend J Sylvan. Reverend Sylvan speaks about the dangers of only associating with people who agree with us on political and social issues. She says we insulate ourselves in our own “bubbles”. “Bubble” living can cut us off from anything that challenges our narrative which does us and the world a disservice.

Amplifying Voices: The Power of Oral Histories in Community Engagement

Joe Kinzer, Ph.D., Community & Oral History Archivist and Curator of the Fife Folklore Archives at USU Libraries, will present Amplifying Voices: The Power of Oral Histories in Community Engagement. This talk explores how oral histories preserve personal narratives, foster interfaith dialogues, and empower communities. Drawing from projects like Resonant Care, which documents the experiences of music therapists, their clients, and communities, Dr. Kinzer will demonstrate how storytelling connects us and celebrates everyday lives. The presentation will include actionable steps for engaging with oral histories and amplifying underrepresented voices in your community. Meet in person at CVUU or online through Zoom on Sunday at 10:00 AM.

Fire Communion

This Sunday, January 5th, join us for a meaningful and powerful ceremony to kick off 2024. During the service, you’ll have the chance to write down something you want to let go of—whether it’s a bad habit, a painful memory, or anything else holding you back. You can choose to share what you’re releasing with the congregation or simply place your paper in the bowl. Then, we’ll head outside together for the dramatic and symbolic burning of these slips of paper, setting our intentions for a fresh start. Don’t miss this unique and inspiring tradition—let’s release the old and welcome the new, together! Meet in person at CVUU or online … Continue reading Fire Communion
