Rev. Debra's Weekly Message

Today, September 30th, is the first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on the impact of residential schools and perhaps learn something new about local Indigenous history. The City of Nanaimo and the Snuneymuxw First Nation are hosting a Day of Reconciliation at Muffeo Sutton Park between 10 and 2. I hope to see some of you there. Warmly, Rev. Debra - Sept. 30, 2021

What we are doing

What we are doing

Starting in September and throughout the 20/21 fellowship year we are excited to present a thematic series of services we are naming: Called by Love and Justice. This theme is based on the five Aspirations created by Canadian Unitarian Universalists that envisions a world in which our interdependence calls us all to love and justice by being deeply connected, radically inclusive, actively engaged, theologically alive and spiritually grounded. Check our Upcoming Services page for more details.

Update on Building Re-opening Plans
Nanaimo Unitarians are following the Provincial Restart Program Guidelines and the latest updates. As of the changes announced August 24th, we are able to plan for the reopening of our building to members and renters in September.
The Sunday Services will continue to be online through September.
The planning team will use September to prepare for hybrid (meaning both in person and online) Sunday Services. Assuming there are no new provincial restrictions, the first hybrid Sunday Service will be October 3rd. There will be more detailed information in late September on attending services in person.
Whether you are vaccinated or not, we ask that you wear a mask in the building. And remember, please do not attend in-person if you are ill. There will be restrictions on capacity in the building. If you want to use a room for your group or committee meeting contact Lise for booking. She will inform you of the protocols. If you choose to meet in-person, you are asked to ensure that participants have the option to join via zoom as well.
If you would like more information on the guidelines for Faith Based Organizations read here: http://www.bccdc.ca/Health-Info-Site/Documents/COVID_public_guidance/COVID-19_Guidance_Faith_Based_Organizations.pdf
Thank you for your patience as we move the community forward with respect and care.
The Covid Advisory Task Force: Ruth Anderson, Tony Turner, Lise Smith, Dorothy Mandy and Rev Debra
