Welcome, bienvenue!
Greetings from UUEstrie, a liberal spiritual community that first gathered in the village of North Hatley back in 1886, as the First Universalist Church of North Hatley.
Salutations de l'UUEstrie, une communauté spirituelle libérale qui s'est rassemblée pour la première fois dans le village de North Hatley en 1886, sous le nom de Première Église Universaliste de North Hatley.
Join us Sundays at 10:30am for our weekly service.
Rejoignez-nous le dimanche à 10h30 pour notre service.
In place of the service, we will gather to clean up and discard items that were damaged from a recent hot water heater break in the church.
The board of directors are working to get the damage repaired and the hot water heater replaced. In the meantime we need to go through the items and discard those that are permanently damaged. Anyone who is willing and able to join us to help in the cleanup is welcome.
Please note our Covid-19 guidelines for in-person services at https://uuestrie.ca/covid-19-guidelines/
On November 27, delegates will vote at a Special Meeting of CUC members on the adoption of a new 8th Principle.
“We, the member congregations of the Canadian Unitarian Council, covenant to affirm and promote:
Individual and communal action that accountably dismantles racism and systemic barriers to full inclusion in ourselves and our institutions”
We are holding a congregational discussion at our Sunday Service so that delegates from UUEstrie can better vote on behalf or our community and to share the work of the Dismantling Racism Study group that led to it’s creation.
