Upcoming Services 

WINTER TO SPRING 2026

March 29, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. “Connecting From the Heart: GRU and the Muslim Women’s Coalition.”  Fauzia Mazhar of KW Muslim Women with Christa Van Daele and Vladimir Djurovic, pianist. Connect. Include. Engage. On March 29, we celebrate those heady Unitarian-Universalist aspirations with Fauzia Mazhar and the Coalition of Muslim Women of KW.  Respected in our community for their long time pioneering work in anti-oppression, we explore our mutual commitment to building radically inclusive community beyond our own community, enacting our mutual strengths in the ongoing work of defending democracy.  

The follow up discussions to this Sunday’s service involves a lively Tea and Tales event in Whitton Hall.  Members of our congregation will have a chance to dialogue directly with the women of the Coalition as well as sample refreshments.
