Our focus on Mercy for the month of February opens the way for a view of both our relationships and our heartfelt knowing of one another. Rev Maggie will guide us on a journey into those mercy-full spaces at the center of our lives where "We Know One Another by Heart"

Extending Mercy to those who seek a spiritual home is one of our core values and an essential element of our growth toward meaning and purpose. The ways we open the doors of our MVUUC Community define that Mercy we offer the world. Rev Maggie will lead us as we celebrate the ways we offer Being, Belonging, and Becoming...

What if to "side with love" meant making bold, faith-full choices? What if it were even a little bit scary? This worship service brings together worship leaders and musicians from across the country to offer hopeful, moving, challenging reminders about what we, as Unitarian Universalists, are called to do, and BE, in the world.

Respect is a core value we treasure and hold dear; one we offer all beings. Exploring the Touchstones theme of 'Respect' during the month of March opens us toward new ways to offer pure positive regard to ourselves and to those we meet. Join Rev Maggie as we stir a bit of her Irish ancestry into our good care of the soul of self and other. Beannachtai! 

Join us as we welcome Rev. Rick Hoyt-McDaniels

As a vaccine becomes available, we might go back to normal, or "normal" might be something new. The experience of the last year gives us an opportunity to rearrange our lives: how we work, how we socialize, and how we worship.

This is a good time for congregations to re-connect with their core purpose: meeting the dual human needs of community and meaning.

John Fahey will lead us in Worship on our Touchstones Theme of Acceptance.

John admits, "Indecision and ambivalence can paralyze me. Let's talk about how to breakthrough and make some wise choices."

It's been said that "We didn't come this far to only come this far."

As we gather round with Rev Maggie for this Sunday Service, we'll celebrate our community in new ways and enjoy a Flower Communion ritual together.

Let's begin to unfold the map we will take to go onward.
It's time to embrace that "We're Better Together" and begin exploring where we will go from here!

How fortunate we would be if our Souls came with a care manual that included a maintenance schedule and a list of best practices. The times we are in now require that we gift ourselves with a deeper and stronger care of the Soul. Come gather with Rev Maggie as we use the gifts of our Touchstones Resources to do some meaningful "Soul Care" together.

Join Rev Maggie and Lily at 10:30m online or in-person for a soul-nourishing look at how we care for our souls in tender times.

John Fahey will be our Speaker.

Join Rev Maggie as we explore our shared "Journey" through the lens of our Touchstones theme for July. We've sure been on a wild ride, and it's time to sit and reflect on the experience of being both jostled and jovial as our life unfolds...

Guest Speaker: Rev. Liz Murphy
Worship Associate: Catherine Rowlee

In a season of immense change, we'll be turning to one of the classic stories of transition: Exodus. It's a story of freedom, of fear, of an upside-down world... sound familiar?

This Sunday we'll re-examine this story -- which is one of our
6 UU sources -- to glean wisdom, hope, and strength.
These days are full of "Exodus Moments" -- how might we respond to these thresholds with connection to community, with compassionate love, with a conviction for justice?

Inspired by new life everywhere, and the potential that each life holds to make the world a better place for all.

Join Rev Maggie as we gather online and in-person to celebrate the end of Summer and the homecoming our Spirits long for.

In 2018, the City of Pomona signed on to the International Charter for Compassion and is making compassion a core civic value.
To what degree can a city learn and live compassion?

Join our celebration of the Peaceable Animal Kingdom at this annual service that marks the Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi, known to many as the patron saint of ecology. During our Time For All Ages we will present an exciting new animal ministry for Monte Vista UU!

Please bring along a donation of animal food to add to our donations for those who are hungry.

We Unitarian Universalists value our freedom which is the condition when we are free to speak, act, and pursue happiness. We live in a time when it seems as if our freedoms are gradually eroding.  In this sermon I will offer some ideas about facing some difficult situations when we can  still be free to choose how to face them with equanimity. I will be calling on the work of Victor Frankl and his experience as a prisoner in a Nazi prison which developed into his Psychology of Logotherapy.

Reverence is an important & nourishing element of our lives that feeds our spirits as we walk through our days, perhaps more than ever 
in the times we are in now.

Either online or in-person, let's gather with Rev Maggie and Lily Popova as we open up our theme for October and explore the different aspects of "Reverence."

Catherine Rowlee and Jeanine Little will lead us in Worship this UN Sunday

October is rich with ancient days and rituals that hold great meaning on death and the thresholds of Spirit.
Join CUUPS (and Rev Maggie) as we mark this last day of October together.

As the days inch toward the darkness of the Fall and Winter months,
we invite you to join Reverend Maggie as we consider these days a valuable time to look inward, and seek the wisdom within...

When we associate Wisdom with a “best and brightest” aspect of ourselves, we miss out on so many deep, meaningful lessons our lives have for us. Let’s dig open this topic and appreciate together how the difficult things we carry add to our giftedness and grant us a Wholehearted Wisdom.
