Almost Heaven, West Virginia

In July, our UUCC youth traveled to McDowell County, West Virginia to support the work of Big Creek People in Action (BCPIA). Through volunteering with BCPIA’s housing rehab projects and conversations with local residents, our youth encountered new perspectives and insights on what is meant by community. This Sunday, hear the teens share stories and reflections of their experiences living, working, and learning together.

This Sunday’s youth-led service will be a multigenerational service. We welcome the sounds, movements, and energy of our youngest congregants for the entirety of worship. There will be a special activity planned for children so they can follow along and engage in the worship service. There will also be coloring sheets, fidget toys, pillows, and special materials available in Sanctuary C and the Chapel so everyone can feel at home wherever they choose to sit.

Speakers: Aden Saunier, Amelia Sorenson, Colette Gelwicks, Fynn Sorenson, Linnea Tarr, Mitchell Eaton, Sam Spezio, Sebastian Bonilla and Valeria Hsu.
