Each week, the Heritage UU Church website provides two new experiences that are short, virtual, and uplifting.

Les Tacy, HUUC’s Music Director, provides a weekly UU hymn. After a short story about the hymn, Les plays and sings it. We invite you to sing along, listen, and meditate. Check the HUUC website homepage under the heading of “Virtual Connections for Whole-Congregation Events.”

Heritage Church’s Vespers Services have the aim of nourishing our souls in the Taizé tradition. Included in the 15-minute contemplative worship services are a reading, a chant, and a period of silence for meditation and reflection. Some services are Zoom-based services offered on a Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. Other services are prerecorded and available on YouTube, beginning on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Check the HUUC website homepage under the heading of “Other Virtual Connections.”

Wednesday, July 15, 2020, 7:00 p.m. On Heritage’s back patio.

The Babes with Books (Heritage’s Women’s book club) July 15th meeting will discuss Celeste Ng’s Little Fires Everywhere. Vogue describes this bestseller as taking “unerring aim at upper-middle-class American blind spots . . . a nuanced study of mothers and daughters and the burden of not belonging to our families or our communities.”

Due to pandemic restrictions, the group will meet from 7 – 9 p.m. on Heritage’s back patio. Please bring a lawn chair to aid with social distancing. We are limited to 10 people so please contact Barb Barnes to reserve a spot at this gathering. You can email her at:

Our future meetings and reads as of this writing are as follows:

• August 19: Second Glance, by Jodi Picoult.
• September 16: Before We were Yours, by Lisa Wingate.

All women and female friends of Heritage are always welcome to attend, whether or not they have read the month’s selected book.

You’ve heard about Midweek Mindfulness. Maybe now is the time to recommit to this powerful, transformative, very easy and quick spiritual practice. Set a recurring reminder on your phone for 12:30 each Wednesday. Then join others in the Heritage community (and literally around the world) in five minutes – just five minutes – of mindfulness. Take a break, right in the middle of your busy and stressful week, from 12:30-12:35 p.m. each Wednesday, to breathe. To rest. To meditate. To be. Stop and smell the roses. Look at the clouds passing overhead, or a flower in the grass (or on your desk). And know, as you are doing it, that many others are doing the same. Join them in mindfulness and spiritual connection.

August 2018.
