Add Your Wisdom to our OWL Parliament!
OWL (Our Whole Lives) is a value and ethics based sexuality education program available for all ages (Kindergarten to Older Adults).
City-wide OWL is planning to offer both Jr. High (7th to 9th graders) and Sr. High (9th to 12th graders) OWL this coming fall. We are seeking new teachers/facilitators to make that happen!
We are so excited to offer facilitator training for teachers of both age groups the weekend of June 6-8th. If you are interested in helping lead OWL in the fall and want to find out more information about what is involved, please email Laci Adams at
Not able to join the team yourself, but have a suggestion? Please feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions with Laci, as well. We appreciate your support!

Caring for Our Space Sets the Tone
How we care for our building — especially our kitchen — sets the tone in terms of how we care for each other and for our guests.
A clean, efficient, and welcoming kitchen can encourage harmony between congregants and guests. A clean kitchen can boost morale and certainly hygiene.
Remember there are no magical beings that come in and clean the kitchen. Spills in the refrigerator create unhealthy and unsightly mold! Please take pride in our building and leave it cleaner than you found it!
If you notice someone struggling with cleanliness or order, instead of criticizing or reprimanding them, offer guidance and support. Encourage them and acknowledge their efforts. Leading with kindness and understanding can make a significant impact. Laughter is the best detergent; try sprinkling some humor to encourage cleanliness.
Please also consider ways to be as “green” as possible with your food offerings in accordance with our UUA Green Sanctuary status. Please do not bring single-use water bottles, plastics, or Styrofoam cups into HUUC. Remember the mantra “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” has “recycle” as the final step.

April’s Kids Programming for Sunday Mornings
The April 2025 religious education (RE) theme is Interdependence. It will focus on the many ways in which we are all connected to each other, to our community, to our wider world and to our earth.
On April 6, 2025, we start our learning together to discover the many forms of interdependence.
On April 13, 2025, we will experience one form of interdependence in congregational life – an ordination in anticipation of Bill Lyon’s ordination later in the afternoon. We will actually be putting on a spirit play ordination during our religious education time!
On April 20, 2025, we will celebrate Easter (in its various forms) and then have a little fun during our post-worship Egg-stravaganza!
On April 27, 2025, we will experience our interdependence through a day of gardening.
Finally, a reminder – Saturday, April 5, 2025, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. is our Spring Service Day, with more information forthcoming.

HUUC Seeks New Minister
The HUUC Board of Trustees will reach out through several publications to potential contract minister candidates as part of our ministerial transition process with the following.
A full-time senior minister is sought by Heritage Universalist Unitarian Church (HUUC) in Cincinnati, Ohio. HUUC is an avidly Universalist congregation with deep traditions. It is a growing, mid-sized church — a liberal beacon welcoming members from the surrounding conservative suburban neighborhood, especially families with young children. The senior minister is retiring after serving more than two decades. The HUUC Board is seeking a contract minister, with options to extend by mutual agreement. Candidate interviews begin in April. Additional, qualified candidates may apply. Interested parties can reach the HUUC Search committee at:
For more information on the ministerial transition, contact Board President Jaime Castle at:
