A reflective hour of music, poetry, and silence featuring Banjo Gal Donna Lynn Caskey. Gatherings are now hybrid and attendees are welcome to attend in person, via Zoom, or to watch the livestream on the congregation’s Facebook page www.facebook.com/uucsp. Gathering is a reflective time in our busy week to hear some beautiful music, share some silence, and hear spoken word on a theme. May's theme is Nurturing Beauty. Gatherings are supported by a free will offering to compensate our Gathering musicians or a check can be mailed to UUCSP, 740 E Main Street, Santa Paula, CA 93060 with Gathering in the memo line. Donations can also be made from the church’s website www.uucsp.org. For more information call the church office at 805-525-4670 or email office@uucsp.org. The Universalist Unitarian Church of Santa Paula is one of the oldest churches in Ventura County with extraordinary acoustics and beautiful stained glass windows. It is one of the first Universalist churches established on the West Coast. It is the oldest church building in the city of Santa Paula and is the bearer of a proud liberal religious heritage that dates back to mid 18th century America.
