Did you miss the CUC Annual Conference and Meeting in Victoria? You can watch some videos of the conference HERE, including the debut of the Unitarian Universalist Latin mass "Missa Brevis pro Serveto" with music composed by Tobin Stokes and text by our own Fran Dearman (click on "Sunday Worship" - the mass is interspersed through the service). See also the article about the mass in the Victoria Times Colonist. The Alberta Government has just awarded our church another Community Spirit Grant of $11,655.24. This money has been given to the Green Sanctuary Committee to complete the conservation landscaping in the back garden, continue to organize and publicize their fine series of community environmental programs in conjunction with the Calgary Horticultural Society, and install a small demonstration solar panel on our south wall with the assistance of Light Up the World. We really appreciate the Alberta government's support for our community environmental education and to the Green Sanctuary committee all their hard work. We are thrilled to announce that the Unitarian Church of Calgary has called the Reverend Debra Faulk to be our new settled minister. Rev. Debra will begin her shared ministry with us on August 1 with her first sermon on August 29. Tower Climb 2010.
