Upcoming events at UUCSB & beyond

Share the Plate! Jue 2026

Each month, UUCSB chooses an organization to split weekly donations made by congregants during the course of Sunday services. As many of you attend virtually, we are providing an online venue for these donations.

This month, we ask for donations to be split between UUCSB's general fund and The Equality Community Center. From their website:

The Equality Community Center is a collaborative workplace for LGBTQ+ and allied social justice seeking non-profit organizations.

We strive to provide a safer and more inclusive gathering space with social and educational programming for all, while supporting the most marginalized in our communities.

This is an interactive calendar. Click on a highlighted square to find out more about what’s going on on that day! Or, below, you can scroll through the list of upcoming events.

Circle Dinner Evening

What are Circle Suppers? They are small (6+) potluck dinners, held in members’ homes, which bring friends, newcomers, and members of our congregation together to share food and get acquainted. These dinners are a good way to bring people closer, to get to know people in ways that we cannot on Sunday mornings or at committee meetings, and to get a mix of diKerent people than we might normally encounter.

Meet, Greet & Ask: Community Forum with your "Let's Try It!" Board

Your elected Board of Trustees has been hard at work since July. We have been learning a great deal about leadership and we would like to share some of that with you through several after-worship conversations.

In May, we will be discussing the Church Budget and how it works.

We hope that many of you can attend. We will share the information in other ways for those of you who can't make it.
