July/August Newsletter!

Our Summer newsletter is ready!  Click HERE to access it online, or pick up a printed copy on the foyer table.  

This edition contains important information from our Ministers about "Stepping Up & Stepping Back" -- including a common practice and common read for the summer.  This edition also explains how we're switching to a QUARTERLY newsletter (instead of a MONTHLY newsletter) in the fall.  It will be more important than ever that you're included on our weekly eBulletin list, as that will be our primary means of communication going forward.  If you're not currently receiving our weekly eBulletins, please contact Janni in the Church Office (604-926-1621 or info@northshoreunitarians.ca) so we can add you.

Nominate Local Heroes by June 21st

"Living Extraordinary" is a FundFest event that will take place at NSUC on Wednesday, October 4th at 7pm. Ten local heroes share what they have learned on their journeys of greatness to inspire you on your own journey. It is a vision where attendees are a part of the event, the speakers provide touching, thought-provoking messages that are the catalyst for conversations, shifts in perspective and “ah ha” moments of inspiration. Kate Muker will host this event, and all proceeds will benefit NSUC.

Please nominate potential speakers from within NSUC or the local community -- you are even welcome to nominate yourself! Nominations must include the hero's first & last name, contact information (phone, email, and website if applicable), and an explanation of why you feel this person would be a good fit for the event. Email nominations to kate@katemuker.com or the church office by June 21st.  Please write "Nomination" on the subject line.

Join a Canadian Unitarian Council (CUC) Roundtable Conversation on Archives

The CUC will be hosting a roundtable conversation on Archives on Saturday, May 27th at 9:30 a.m. PDT -- and you're invited!

Please join us as we explore how to safely and appropriately preserve records for our congregational archives. We will be joined by several experienced people who will share the practices within their congregations, both regarding protocols and storage options. Participants will then be welcomed to share their questions, practices, and ideas.
