Sunday Service Committee
There will be no Christmas Eve service this year, rather NCUU will celebrate Christmas at its December 21 Sunday service. There will be various musicians preforming carols, performances by the choir, and seasonal readings as well as yummy refreshments afterwards.
It will be a beautiful experience, so be sure to attend the December 21 Sunday service.
Best wishes for a very Merry Christmas.
The Sunday Service Committee
Social Justice
In 2018, 65% of Florida voters cast votes to restore voting rights to former felons who had successfully completed their sentences. The next year Gov. Desantis signed into law SB 7066 requiring that any court costs and fines be paid before rights are restored, and subsequent House bills enhanced the enforcement of 7066.Those who attempted to register or vote would face criminal penalties even if they were not aware of their ineligibility, and some were in fact charged. The NCUU Social Justice Committee supports ongoing efforts to educate former felons of their voting rights and restrictions, as well as to remove further restrictions imposed by the legislature. Watch the “What’s Up” Table in the lobby in coming weeks to learn what you can do.
The Social Justice Committee meets on the third Thursday of each month at 3 p.m.

Qigong classes
Nature Coast Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is offering Qigong-Mindful Movement classes on Wednesdays, 3 PM, at 7633 N. Florida Ave. Citrus Springs.
Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is similar to a moving meditation. This ancient practice consists of gentle movement patterns, breath awareness, and a focused mindset designed to enhance vitality, deepen inner connection, and create space for your highest potential.
By gently moving stagnant Qi (life force energy) you can release blockages and feel balanced with effortless effort !
Our teacher, Alicia Martinez, is a Qigong Associate instructor as well as certified Yoga Instructor for adults and children.
Come join us for this weekly practice. No experience is required and instructor will provide modifications if needed.
