This Sunday at UCCSV - 1/24/21
As our series on living into our callings continues, this Sunday we consider how we are called to proclaim God’s message to the world. Is proclamation a calling? What does that mean? What is God’s message and how should we proclaim it? What if no one listens to us? We’ll wrestle with how God may be calling us to speak to the world around us and how we might begin to know if they are listening. Join us!
When you come to worship please bring a candle with you. The Zoom Room opens at 9:30am and worship starts at 10am and will also be livestreamed to our facebook page and recorded for posting on our website.Join Zoom Meeting

Black Lives Matter
As a church community we declare that "Black Lives Matter". We reject racism in all its forms. We work towards being the church in the world by promoting justice, standing with the oppressed, and loving our neighbor. While we have much work to do on ourselves in terms of our own biases, and in dismantling the structures of our society that uphold white supremacy, we know we are not alone in this work and God is equipping us and empowering us even now to continually do better.
To understand more about why it's important to proclaim that black lives matter we invite you to read this article published by our denomination: https://www.ucc.org/justice_racism_black_lives_matter.
