Dinners for 8
If you would like to host or attend a Dinner for 8, email admin@uuch.ca. At a Dinner for 8, all attendees contribute to a meal at the host’s house, perhaps by bringing a salad, main course or dessert. If you don’t have room for 8 people, you are welcome to host a smaller group. There are different ways that Dinners for 8 can be organized, so consider what arrangement would make you an enthusiastic host.
The Creatives
Email Ben to get on the contact list, minister@uuch.ca
Depending on the interests of those who come, we will write, draw, sing, dance, craft rituals and more. Perhaps it will open our hearts and minds; connect us with ourselves, each other and something larger; and awaken awe at something just beyond reach.
Walks (dogs welcome)
We occasionally go to Point Pleasant Park for a walk. It’s an informal mix of silence, reflection and casual conversation.
Retreats
Fall retreat: Sun Sept 14th 2025, noon-3pm at UUCH.
In our fall retreat, we have deep, vibrant conversations about who we are as a community and how we might grow more fully into ourselves. We will begin by inviting our big questions and hopes for UUCH, and then choose 3-4 topics for breakout groups (you can wander between tables).
