“Jean Charles Service Sunday”
Jean Charles, The Pioneers, and Lay Leaders

What made 14 congregants from UUSD take a leap of faith to purchase a property and hold it until the church decided to purchase the land from them to build its current building? It’s an amazing journey, not only for the “Pioneers,” but for UUSD. This is what service is all about!
The Jean Charles Service Sunday was created several years ago by the Board of Trustees to honor Jean’s exemplary leadership and service to the congregation. The Board felt Jean’s unwavering dedication to service was a model for the congregation and deserved to be recognized in a special way. As a result, the Jean Charles Service Sunday was created to recognize each year the importance of leadership and service to UUSD.
The Jean Charles Service Sunday is a reminder that everyone can find ways to serve their congregation and community. By contributing our talents in whatever way we can, we carry our mission forward and strengthen our loving community for generations to come. UUSD Current Volunteer Opportunities will be distributed to help members and friends find service opportunities to nourish their spirits by matching their interests with UUSD needs

Sharing Our Stories

Each of us at UUSD has a different story to tell about how we found a spiritual home here. A few of us are life-long UUs but most are not, having come from a variety of other religious backgrounds or from no particular place of faith. Whatever our journey, sharing the stories of the paths we took helps connect us to each other and to the shared journey we are now making.
