"Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur Service"
Yaakov Trek Reef, Intern Minister - Join us in marking the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur with a special evening worship service. Through story, song, reflection, ritual, and the sound of the shofar, we’ll explore themes of renewal, repentance, forgiveness, and returning to ourselves and one another. All are welcome for this interactive and participatory service. You do not need to be Jewish or know anything about the High Holidays to join us.

"The Weaving Place"
Yaakov Trek Reef, Intern Minister; Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum, Minister; and Rayla D. Baldwin-Mattson, Director of Religious Education - “The Weaving Place” is a participatory, intergenerational service written by J. L. Shattuck. We’ll explore the theme of interdependence through the act of weaving. By the end of the hour, we will have created unique woven artifacts that reflect the UUCAV community in this moment: imperfect, unfinished, and held together through participation, care, and presence. You are invited to bring a piece of ribbon, fabric, or yarn to add to our loom. Religious Education Teacher Training will follow the service.
