Matt Watroba
WA: Mary Lou Wiegand
Featuring Live Music
We are thrilled to welcome Matt Watroba back to CUUB to lead a special service on Mother’s Day! Matt is a veteran performer, teacher, radio host, song writer…the list goes on but what Matt prefers to be known as is a community singer, song leader and educator. Matt sings and writes songs of compassion, inner strength, humor and every day living…a perfect way to celebrate all people who have nurtured their friends, families and communities. Matt brings a unique set of talents as an educator, performer and master of ceremonies. His passion for bringing community together through music and education is infectious.
CUUBies – Sunday, May 8th is a perfect time to reach out to friends or acquaintances who may be “UU Curious” and encourage them to attend services – live or on zoom, to experience Matt’s special combination of music and humor. It’s bound to be a most entertaining and enlightening service.

CUUB COVID Precautions & Building Entrance Policy
Revised April 21, 2022
As a community grounded in covenant - grounded in our promises to one another within the context of community - we will be approaching this new health and safety expectation as a covenantal understanding.
In the spirit of allowing all our members and friends to gather safely, in-person, in community, we are adopting the following (temporary) policy with regards to building entry and use:
The following precautions apply to all meetings, services, and events that take place on CUUB property:
• Masking is required indoors for everyone over the age of 2 when walking around in the building. Once seated, masks can be removed unless singing. Beverages are fine when seated.
• Hand sanitizer and extra masks will be readily available throughout the building.
• Wrist bands are available to communicate comfort level with interaction with others. Green means approaching, shaking hands and hugging are fine; Yellow means talking together is fine but no physical touch; Red means distance yourself to talk and no physical touch.
Additional Restrictions, Precautions and Recommendations:
• Sanctuary seating is pre-set with chair groups for social distancing of 6 feet.
• When speaking from the podium during joys and sorrows masks may be removed and replaced when returning to your seat.
• The Cantor may sing from the podium without a mask providing a covid test is done on the day of the service and is negative.
***In-person attendance is strictly a personal choice and as such, each individual is ultimately responsible for their conduct and personal safety.
These expectations will be posted on CUUB’s entryways. Otherwise, CUUB is following the current local, state, and CDC Recommended Guidelines.
Thank you for your intended cooperation and grace to keep our CUUB Community safe and well!

7 GUIDING PRINCIPLES
What do UUs Believe?
We're glad you asked! We affirm and promote seven principles which we hold as strong values. Drawn from sources as diverse as science, poetry, nature, scripture, and personal experience, these principles are our shared moral compass.
1st Principle: The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
2nd Principle: Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
3rd Principle: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
4th Principle: A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
5th Principle: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
6th Principle: The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
7th Principle: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
Liberal Values
Welcome to Community Unitarian Universalists in Brighton (CUUB). With a deep commitment to honoring the inherent worth and dignity of every person, we come together as a congregation of open minds, loving hearts, and helping hands. We are unified by our shared search for spiritual growth, and our historically strong commitment to social justice. Whatever your age, race, or sexual orientation, you are welcome here. We invite you to join us in our free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
Inspiration from Everywhere and Anywhere
We recognize the diversity of our spiritual paths and beliefs, and offer a welcoming home for modern individuals and families who may struggle with singular dogma. We are united by shared values, not by creed. We affirm and honor each individual's spiritual exploration.
Deeds, Not Creeds
Our legacy of "deeds not creeds" calls us to harness love's power to stop oppression and make the world a better place. Whether that means spreading kindness in our daily lives, planting a garden with our children, grassroots community organizing, or interfaith advocacy, marches, and prayer vigils, Unitarian Universalists strive to put our faith into action.
