Seeds of Hope

We ended our Summer 2016 project of Seeds of Hope once again with great success. Social Action sponsors a fresh market stand in front of the church beginning each Sunday from mid- June (hours – 10 to 1:00) through mid-August.

Bauer Westeren has been our volunteer managing the scheduling of this event for several years now. Farmer Louis Reid has become well known to all of us over the years as our supplier of great fresh produce and this year we broke our sales record by selling $1500 worth of produce for him. UUCC and many other Columbia community churches take part in this project to help low-income farmers. It is a nice invitation to the community as they are out on Sunday morning walks to stop by the fresh market stand and pick up fresh produce from the smiling faces of the volunteers that assist for the UUCC Seeds of Hope .

Jane and Bob Gillespie, Members

For much of our married life, we were without a church home, but felt our lives would be enriched if we could find a place where we were part of something greater than ourselves. The UUCC became that place. There, we’ve made great friends, enjoyed meaningful fellowship and found a sense of peace. It’s just what we were looking for.

This is a place where I can always find big smiles, warm hugs, and stimulating conversations. It is easy to get involved and quickly become part of the group.

Carita Barr, Member: Growing up in a Lutheran state-taxed church, I never was very religious. But 40 years ago, I heard about Unitarian Universalism through friends. I found a home here where this diverse religious community really works to better our world. Respect and honor for the “other” is the main ingredient in our cooperative efforts as a movement.
