Join us this Sunday, April 5th, at 10:30am in Panabaker for our weekly Worship at Calgary Unitarians. This weeks topic will be Rolling Away the Stone.

We hope to see you there! 

Cabaret Lite is coming up  on May 2nd and there is still room for a few more acts! Do you have a special talent or skill you never get to use? Or a song you’ve always wanted to sing? Or perhaps something entirely else out of the box! This year’s theme, ‘This is Me!’ is the perfect opportunity to showcase, well, YOU! Reach out to our new Music Director Matthew at  musicdirector@calgaryunitarians.ca and we’ll see how we can make it happen.

 Deadline to have a dedicated time-slot is April 20th. There is currently open mic section for last minute additions, but don’t bet on it, because if there are enough scheduled acts, we might just close it off!

We look forward to exploring all your wonderful talents and skills!

We want to warmily welcome Matthew Barnett to the position of Music Director for Calgary Unitarians! 
You can come see him in action at his upcoming Ah! Love! Collaborativ Recital:This recital is the culmination of my studies in the Vocal Academy of the Mount Royal Conservatory this year. He and Soprano Hannah Mitchel will be performing a wide variety of works by a wide variety of composers.

• When: Saturday April 11th at 5pm
• Where: TransAlta Pavilion, Mount Royal Conservatory.
• Cost: Free admission, no tickets required.

We invite you to share the moments that matter—big or small—with our CU community. If you have a joy, a celebration, or a sorrow you’d like read aloud during our Sunday services, we’re here to help.
Submit your joys and sorrows online anytime: CU Pastoral Care Team Submission. Your experiences help us hold one another in care, compassion, and connection.

We love that our community members have furry, feathery, and scaly friends—but to keep everyone safe and comfortable, pets can’t join us at CU events. This helps everyone enjoy the space, including those with allergies or sensitivities.

We know your pets are part of the family, so give them a hug from us and maybe a treat while you’re at our gathering. We can’t wait to see you (and hear all about your pets) at the next event!

Need a space for your group or meeting? Booking a room at Calgary Unitarians is easy! Just use our online room booking form on the Rentals page — this lets our team know if you need any AV support or childcare needs.

Members and Friends can also check out our full calendar of events through Breeze, so you’ll know what’s happening at CU at a glance. Our website shares upcoming events in a friendly, welcoming way, making it easy to stay connected with our community.

We’re excited to see our spaces filled with your gatherings, learning, and celebrations!

'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 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
