Where the Waters Meet (Water Ceremony Service)
Join us for our annual Water Ceremony, a cherished Unitarian Universalist tradition celebrating the many journeys that bring us together in community.
Our Board Chair, Jesse Wingate, will lead this special service as we combine waters representing our experiences, connections, and hopes for the year ahead.
What Are We Choosing to Become?
On this Membership Sunday, we'll examine the many reasons we are drawn to Unitarian Universalism and to this community specifically. What do we bring to the table to share with our friends and neighbors? Within the structure of UUism, it is up to us to do the Work.
Guest speaker Willow joined the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Church UU in Charlottesville, looking for a well-rounded religious education for her daughter. During her time there, she was involved on many levels, wearing many hats. She is pleased to be part of the UU ESVA as it evolves.

Lessons from the Thicket
This Sunday, July 26 at 10:30AM
Through Genesis 22, Romans 6, and Matthew 10, we will explore difficult questions of allegiance, trust, sacrifice, and grace.
These texts confront us with profound invitations to expand our viewpoint: through Abraham and Isaac’s journey, Paul’s emerging theological understanding, and Jesus’ challenging teachings about the cost of discipleship. Together, they ask us to consider what or who claims our loyalty, and what it means to follow faithfully when the path is difficult.

BE-longing: To Be or Not to Be, That is the Question
This service will explore the difference between simply fitting in and truly belonging. Together, we’ll reflect on how genuine connection is nurtured and how we can build communities where all people are welcomed, valued, and empowered.
Practicing the Seventh Principle on the Eastern Shore of Virginia
This service will reflect on the Unitarian Universalist Seventh Principle and how the interdependent web of life comes alive here on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, where land, water, wildlife, farms, fisheries, and community are deeply connected. With music from our house band, Route 13, we’ll consider how stewardship, gratitude, and responsibility can guide the way we live in this beautiful coastal place.
