35 years ago, a segment of ABCs 20/20 featured two lesbian families.  Church members, Kerry and Cynthia, were one of the couples, and a part of the segment was filmed at UUCB. We have been part of the movement for gay equality for a long time. We can see how far we’ve come and use that as inspiration to keep going!

All are welcome, especially allies.

9:30-10:30 a.m. ZOOM ONLY. UU Mystic, Alice Yeager, will share with the UUCB community about her spiritual journey beginning with her family’s history attending the 1st Unitarian Church of Baltimore in Maryland to her sudden psychic opening where she experienced all five “clair” senses as apparently latent until then, suddenly becoming heightened multi-sensory psychic abilities, i.e. clairvoyance (visual), clairsentience (physical sensations), clairaudence (auditory), clairscentist (smells) and clairgustance (tastes). Click the heading for the link and more information about Alice. This is a not to be missed talk!

Please join us for Love Songs and Chocolate, a celebration of tuneful romance and delectable desserts. In a relaxed, cabaret-like setting, many singers from our community share beguiling love songs from the classics to Broadway to jazz.

Mindful Movement class to help us unwind, relax and feel more energized during these challenging times.

Anyone who submits their pledge form by March 6 is invited to join us that evening for a special party we’re calling a Fire Soiree. There will be wine and chocolate covered strawberries. Weather gods permitting, we’ll be on the patio watching the sunset, joining together in a short ritual of lighting the lanterns and sharing some words of commitment.
