For the month of July, UUCC will join other congregations in the DC metro area in a UU July Worship Series: Preaching Along the Potomac.
1. GATHER | Gather at the Owen Brown Interfaith Center at 10am on Sunday mornings, as usual, for coffee and donuts, group activities for all ages, and time for connecting with one another in Sanctuary B or on the patio.
2. WORSHIP | In Sanctuary C, we’ll view live worship streamed from a sibling congregation at 10:30am. Streaming information is available below for those planning to join services virtually.
3. SHARE | Directly following the service we will gather both in person in Sanctuary C and in our UUCC Worship Zoom room for an intimate time of sharing our joys and sorrows with one another.
We invite children of all ages to join us for Summertime Sundays and our Sunday morning watch parties in Sanctuary C. Grab some coloring materials, and make yourselves at home in our sanctuary — pajamas, stuffed animals, knitting, comfy cushions, wiggles, and running feet are welcome!

☀️ Summertime Sundays Schedule ☀️
July 3 — “The Speed of Justice”
Rev. Rob Keithan, All Souls Church, Unitarian (Washington, DC)
There’s so much suffering and injustice in our world that urgent action is desperately necessary. At the same time, moving too fast makes it more likely that we’re unconsciously replicating some of the oppressive patterns that we’re trying to stop. How can we ensure that our work isn’t just transactional, but truly transformational?
