CUC National Service “Turning Toward One Another” – Sunday Service

The Livestream of this service will begin at 11:00 am, Edmonton time.  You are invited to come at the regular time of 10:30 for coffee before the service.

Westwood is participating in the Canadian Unitarian Council (CUC) national service featuring the two newest members of the CUC staff team: Camellia Jahanshahi and Rev. Nicoline Guerrier.

What will hold us together today? As an antidote to a world built around us/them, we’ll lean into this counter-story: that difference makes strength, and that our distinctive model as UUs – based not on sameness but on cultivating relationship and shared commitments across differences of belief – carries seeds of the transformative solidarity our world needs now. Come meet this moment with us.

Nicoline is the CUC’s Congregational Life Lead for the Central and Eastern Regions. Recently returned to Canada after seven years serving Unitarian Universalism in the US, they persist in finding small glimmers of hope everywhere.

Camellia is the CUC’s Dismantling Barriers Lead, a new position brought in in October 2024 dedicated to uplifting and integrating our 8th principle of accountably dismantling barriers to inclusion in ourselves and our institutions.

There is an opportunity for ‘social time’ in person (with coffee) or online following the service – a time to connect with friends old and new.
