FROM THE PULPIT AND WEB SERMON PAGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------
The upcoming issue of CanU features a piece by Rev. Diane Rollert of the
Unitarian Church of Montreal, called “Blessed Are Those Who Question.” 
As we move towards Easter, we often highlight Rev. Phillip Hewett’s essay on
What Easter Means to Unitarians HYPERLINK

If you have sermons, worship services or writings on Easter, Earth Day,
Spring Equinox or Beltane that you are willing to share through the CUC
website, I would welcome your offerings for the Sermon page. Our smaller,
lay-led congregations especially appreciate these offerings. Please include
a “bio” of yourself so those reading the sermon will know a bit about you.

CUC EMAIL LISTS
----------------------------------------------------
Any email list inquiries and requests can be sent to HYPERLINK
"mailto:email-groups at cuc.ca" email-groups at cuc.ca – this then forwards to a
CUC staff member who can assist you. Right now, it’s Kirstie Peden who
worked in the Toronto office and moved home to Winnipeg who handles most of
the email group questions. 
We are experimenting with a method to help those unfamiliar with
yahoogroups.com find and join an email list.  If you’d like to browse and
“order” an email group, just go to:
