We Need One Another!

We need one another! In times of change this is even more true and UUCT is going through many changes. As part of this service we offer our thanks the outgoing members of the Board and offer blessings for those serving on the Board in the coming year.

Reflecting on General Assembly

This service offers an opportunity for members that attended the UUA General Assembly in June to share some key learnings from their experiences.
