Westwood is a welcoming, nurturing and inclusive community where people may experience freedom of religious thought, spiritual development, hope and inspiration. Westwood lives and shares Unitarian Universalist principles through spiritual growth, learning, social justice, care and compassion.

We believe that everyone has the right to seek truth and meaning for themselves. We acknowledge and respect the diversity of religions and beliefs of our members and friends including those who identify as non-theists, atheists, agnostics, free-thinkers and humanists.

The fundamental tools for defining our beliefs include:

Our own life experience, our reflections upon it, our intuitive understanding and the promptings of our own conscience.
Our Unitarian Universalist Principles & Sources are the basis for our religious and moral lives.
We strive to fulfill our Purpose, Mission & Goals and to be good stewards for our organization and community.

Hope and Perseverance: Genocide Memorial

Jul 12 @ 10:30 am – 11:45 am

Date: July 12, 2020 ONLINE ONLY

Hope and Perseverance: Genocide Memorial, Reverend Audrey Brooks, CUC National Service.

10:30am – 11:30am MDT

**Pre-register for this Nationally held service. Note: Preregistration required for all national services. Once you have registered, you will receive an email from Zoom with the link, call-in information and meeting ID.

This morning Westwood joins the Unitarian Church of Edmonton (UCE) who are hosting the national service with their annual Genocide Memorial Service.

This year the theme is “Witness, Hope, Interconnections”. We will gather on Zoom, with speakers from countries where people die violent deaths because of intentional attacks against them. We give witness to their names, remembering that unless we do this, they fade into history as nothing.

Rabbi David Kunin will speak about the interconnectedness of all of us, as we face current crises in our world.

Presented by Rev. Audrey Brooks, Bill Lee, Karen Bilida, Kimberly Lang, Gordon Ritchie, and other helpers.

All welcome but preregistration required, see above.

Serendipity Services are interactive, conversational gatherings, where participants hear ideas and readings – and share their reflections if they wish to. You are always welcome to simply listen.

Westwood’s 2019-2020 theme was Drawing on our Sources. This summer, we will explore one key word each Sunday – a word drawn from one of the Six Unitarian Universalist Sources, but alive in many.

Where do you turn for strength, wisdom, comfort, or to be challenged? What inspires you to action or cautions you to re-think your choices? What helps you discern your direction in life? Sustains you in a crisis? Join us for an informal Sunday morning that invites you into reflection and into community.
