Upcoming Services  Sunday, February 14, 10:30 AM: Valentine’s Day: The Things We Do for Love - Rev. Fran Dearman In the spring of 2008 Victoria choir enthusiast Kristina Stevens asked Fran to write the words for a Latin mass for Unitarians. Composer Tobin Stokes was commissioned to write the music. The UUA and CUC contributed to funding the project. "Missa Brevis pro Serveto" is scheduled to premiere Sunday May 23rd in Victoria, at the Annual Conference and Meeting of the Canadian Unitarian Council. Fran shares the story of how this team project emerged, and why. Special children’s choir. All children are invited to come early (10:00 AM) to Room 1 to decorate (and eat!) Valentine's cookies or practice a song to sing with Brian Dorscht at the beginning of the service.
