Explorers of the Spirit - “Community” - Rev. Dan Schatz
For Unitarian Universalists, community is more than a gathering of people. It is a spiritual discipline in its own right.
April 5, 2026 - Easter Sunday "Words of Life" - Rev. Dan Schatz
On the holiest day of the Christian year, we look at the moral teachings of Jesus. What did Jesus have to say, and how are his teachings relevant to us in 2026?
All vaccinated adults are welcome. Bring your instrument. Munchies are optional. At the home of Linda & Steve Sander. Maps are in the foyer. Contact folk-singing@ucwc.org.
The Share-the-Plate program raises money to give to local agencies which are trying to improve life for Chester County residents.
Eleven times a year, UCWC gives approximately half of the collection plate to a congregation-nominated recipient. Funds are given to small, local organizations for whom our gift is very meaningful in the continuance of their efforts.
Your donation to the plate is split 50/50 with the recipient organization unless you designate otherwise ("100% to recipient" or "100% to UCWC" for example) in the check memo or accompanying letter.

DEEPER THAN THE SKIN is an emotionally engaging musical presentation about history, race and friendship in America, powerfully delivered in song and story.
Inspired by the courageous journey and friendship of Reggie Harris and Greg Greenway, songwriters, storytellers and world travelers, this upbeat, interactive concert delivers an excellent opportunity for audiences of all backgrounds to open their hearts and minds to a new reality of possibility.
Born just 3 days apart...one Black, one White, one from the North, one from the South; these committed students of history and truth have forged a 35-year bond that has captivated audiences nationwide. Deeper than the Skin is not just entertainment – it is a mission to renew hope, justice and civility.
With creativity, humor and honesty, these skillful artists show that even in this time of challenge and division, the notion of a more perfect union remains not only possible but imperative to our survival as a country and world. http://deeperthantheskin.com/
