Join us this Sunday, March 22nd, at 10:30am in Panabaker for our weekly Worship at Calgary Unitarians. This weeks topic will be Who Are We to Each Other.

We hope to see you there! 

Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 2nd—because Cabaret Lite is back for one fabulous night only!

We’re calling on you—yes, you!—to bring your talents to the stage. Whether it’s a skit, a poem, a song, or something delightfully unexpected, this is your moment to shine (or experiment!) in front of one of the most supportive, joy-filled audiences around.

Curious? Nervous? Perfect. That’s exactly the vibe.

Keep an eye on upcoming e-News for details on how to sign up. And if you’d rather help make the magic happen behind the scenes, we’d love that too—just reach out to Rev. Samaya.

Let’s make it a night to remember!

Rev. Samaya is gathering a small team to help shape our intergenerational Summer Solstice service scheduled for June 21st. If you’d love to bring your creativity, rituals, or ideas to this special celebration, please reach out so we can begin weaving the magic together!

'Refresh your closet! This event will be free, and open to the public, with attendees welcome to bring their own clean donations on the day of the event. In anticipation of having tables with something to offer at the time doors open on April 18, clothing donations are being accepted at the church between now and April 12, and will be stored at the church. Help us live into our values by keeping usable clothing out of landfills, and keeping money in peoples pockets during these expensive times. Please contact Jen Allore (allore.j@calgaryunitarians.ca) for more details. '

Have you ever left a meeting feeling energized and clear about what comes next? Or… the opposite? Most of us have experienced both.

Strong, well-run meetings don’t happen by accident. They grow from thoughtful leadership, clear agendas, shared roles, and decision-making processes that honour our Unitarian Universalist values of collaboration, respect, and democracy.

Join us for a two-hour interactive workshop on how to run effective meetings in a UU setting. Together we will explore:

• The key roles that help meetings run smoothly (chair, minute-taker, and more)
• What makes a clear and effective agenda
• What actually belongs in meeting minutes
• How UU groups make decisions together
• Practical tools for leading meetings that are engaging, respectful, and productive

This workshop will be hands-on and experiential. Participants will practice running short meetings, experiment with decision-making processes, and reflect together on how we can make our committees and teams work better for everyone.

Whether you currently chair a committee, take minutes, participate in meetings, or simply want to strengthen our shared leadership culture, this workshop is for you.

Come help us build meetings that support the work of our community—and make the best use of everyone’s time and gifts.

Please RSVP to Rev. Samaya

I want to organize a dinner fundraiser (to replace our normal silent auction) and am looking for people who might be interested in hosting a dinner in their home. This is a great way to build community over food while raising needed funds for our beloved community.  People bid on the available dinner spots.  Each host can submit their receipts for food and beverages to the treasurer for a “ donation in kind” receipt.  Dinners will take place in the April - October 2026 time frame. If interested please contact me at And if you would like to help organize it….even better. Thanks.

Here’s an easy way to support our church and your everyday shopping. Purchase Calgary Co-op Gift Cards through our fundraiser! Calgary Co-op donates 5% or 6% back to our community based on the gift card value all of us purchase. If you buy $500 of gift cards, Calgary Coop donates $25 or $30 to our community. You can buy groceries, prescriptions, gas, a special treat or alcohol with the Co-op Gift Cards. Your everyday purchases helps Calgary Unitarians reach our fundraising goals!

We’re looking for a friendly and reliable volunteer to help support Sunday mornings from the church office. This role offers a welcoming presence for anyone who arrives with a question, helps answer the phone if it rings, and assists with the occasional small administrative task.

The commitment is about one hour on Sunday mornings, ideally as part of a rotating team.

If you’d like to help Sunday mornings run smoothly, we’d love to hear from you. Please fill out the volunteer application or contact the office for more information.

Calgary Unitarians voted yes to actively support the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good’s position of No Repeal Without Replace that:

1. Meets requirements for federal funding(close to $1B)
2. Encourages "missing middle" housing in family-oriented neighbourhoods with transit, parks, and amenities
3. Ensures we can build enough housing, including affordable housing, to meet the growing demand

CACG & Councillors (in agreement with a "replace" bylaw) STRONGLY encourage all available members to attend Public Hearing on March 23 at 9:30 AM...

Ani to Pisi is a Blackfoot Creation story passed down from Clement Bear Chief to Elder Roy Bear Chief. The story emphasizes society’s interconnectedness, similar to a spider web. When one person is in trouble, or having a vibration, others come to help. The enactment of Ani to Pisi is a powerful representation of harmony and community, as participants move in unison to the beat of a drum.

Join The Confluence for this special event at the site of the upcoming permanent Residential School Memorial.
