The bookstore stocks books, UUCV T-shirts and hats, UU and Standing on the Side of Love T-‑shirts, coffee mugs, jewelry, bumper stickers and license plate frames, and donated items from the members such as mosaics and stained glass. Proceeds go to the church. Credit cards are accepted.
The bookstore is open after church on Sunday mornings, staffed by four trained lead volunteers who handle all financial transactions and rotate being there on Sunday mornings. Additional volunteer assistants are present to ensure adequate coverage.
Hanging out or volunteering are both a lot of fun. See Silvia Hutchins or Pam Waldron for more information.

Spirit of Adventure! Designed for more active kids, this curriculum uses challenge and adventure to teach character-building, values, and the UU sources, and principles.
“What! No more gold sprayed macaroni Bible verses?!” smiled a minister who heard [about this] curriculum for active children. HIs joke illustrated the culture of Sunday school activities from our heritage. This adds a different kind of learning, the learn gin from physical movement and the learning from challenge and adventure.
We’ve missed sports as a valuable way to translated our Principles and Purposes for our children. Good sportsmanship and teamwork offer important parallels to the U way of being in the world. Other themes we use to teach our UU identity are Science, Food, Building, Exploring, Web of Life, and Winter Holidays.
