Welcome to Community Unitarian Universalist Congregation at white plains
We are a Welcoming Congregation, a “sanctuary without walls” that promotes diversity, fellowship, spiritual growth, and inspiration, while committing to people and the planet through social action and service.
Introducing our NEXT minister
The CUUC Board of Trustees is delighted to announce that the Members of Community Unitarian Universalist Congregation at White Plains unanimously voted for Rev. Danielle Lindstrom to be our next settled minister. Rev. Danielle will start with CUUC on August 1, 2024. We thank the Ministerial Search Committee for their excellent work in selecting Rev. Danielle. Until she joins us, we will continue to engage our awesome 2023-2024 interim ministry team – Rev. Kimberley Debus, Rev. Paul Langston-Daley, Rev. Deb Morra, and Rev. Patience Stoddard – for ministerial activities. If you have questions about Rev. Danielle, contact Creighton Cray or Terri Kung.

THIS WEEK AT CUUC
Science & Spirituality
Science & Spirituality Group, Thu May 9, 11:30am, Fellowship Hall & Zoom: bit.ly/CUUC-Zoom-7899
We meet on the second and fourth Thursday to talk about the intersection of spirituality and science. Last meeting we discussed an article suggesting that appreciating the spiritually in science might promote a sense of well-being and higher life satisfaction. If you’d like to see if that applies to you, come check out one of our S&S discussions. On Thursday we plan to discuss Chapter 10 thru 18 of Close Encounters with Humankind: A Paleoanthropologist Investigates Our Environment by Sang-Hee Lee, but feel free to come, even if you haven’t read the book. Contact: Norm Handelman, Barbara Mair
Game Night

Come at 5:30 to chat and pick your game, share a pizza dinner together at 6:00 (or bring your own meal), and then get ready to play! Family and friends are always welcome. Suggested donation for pizza: $5/person or $10/family. To help us plan food, please sign up at bit.ly/CUUC_Game_Night_Signup, or contact Audra Russell.
Personalize Our Bridging Gift
Write a Note in our Bridging Youth Gift Hymnal, Sun May 12, Fireside Area
This year we have one youth who is “Bridging,” that is, transitioning from the high school experience into young adulthood. One of the gifts our congregation gives to Bridgers is a hymnal filled with our words of encouragement and special memories. Please take a few minutes to write a note in our gift Bridging hymnal, which will be available in the Fireside Area on Sunday. If you will not be at CUUC in person, email a note to Tracy Breneman (cuucwptracy@gmail.com) and she will make sure it is included.
