After lunch (at about 12:15), join Mary Bennett and Sue Forbes in the Sanctuary for a deeper dive into the topic of Sunday's reflection: Spiritual Practices for Unitarians.
You might leave with a daily, weekly or yearly spiritual practice you’d like to try. Or you might just get affirmation on already being spiritual enough.
Everyone is invited to events organized by our Environmental Action Team. We'd like to host events that more people are interested in attending.
We've brainstormed a few ideas — a book club (there a number of great new books) or speaker series (who would you want to hear from?) — but we welcome your input!
Please share any ideas or thoughts to enviroteam@northshoreunitarians.ca or check out the interactive display in the lower hall and tell us what you'd like to see.
You may recall that the Welsh Men’s Choir performed at one of our services earlier this year. Now’s your chance to hear them in concert — directed by our very own Alison Nixon (NSU Music Director).
You’re invited to the Vancouver Welsh Men's Choir concert at Highlands United Church (3255 Edgemont Blvd, North Vancouver) on Friday May 29th at 7pm. Tickets available at the door.
All are invited to our next Board Meeting at 5pm on Wed. June 17th. We’re shaping this special meeting to include a conversation about what is working well and what we might do differently next year and and beyond.
We are in a lovely upswing surging moment of NSU history and it would be so helpful to have your input, suggestions and creative thinking. This is not a huge visioning process. . . more like an appreciative inquiry about what is working well and what we can do more of, or add into the mix.
Light food & drink will be provided. Please come!

Leonard Cohen offers insights for thriving in a world of darkness. Through vivid imagery and beautiful music, we will explore relationships, politics and spirituality, finding the crack where the light shines through.

Our elevator installation project has begun, and will eventually connect the Sanctuary to the Fireside Room. We’ll show updates here as the project progresses.

Hi All,
Construction of the elevator has begun!
One of the first things that is needed is for the heating pipes to be re-routed both upstairs and down. Mark (the contractor) has had to shut off the heat in order to cut the pipes and cap them. They will then be rerouted by a plumber (permit required) and then inspected by West Van.
We could be without heat for a few weeks but fortunately the weather is looking good. We recommend dressing in layers that you can put on or take off, as needed, to stay comfortable.

Did you see this article about NSU?
On Monday, May 11th, The Tyee's "Daily Catch" featured a very favourable article about NSU under the headline "Seeking Faith? Don't Look Up" by Anjini Snape. Read the article here.
The Main Office will be closed Monday, May 18th for the Victoria Day holiday, and Tuesday, May 19th as a vacation day so Janni can make another trip to Seattle to help her parents. Janni will be available by phone (604-926-1621) and email (info@northshoreunitarians.ca) the rest of the week.
