Open Mic Night

About four times a year, UUCV invites members and friends to share their talents on a Saturday evening– whether as musicians, singers or spoken word artists — a chance to perform in front of a supportive and non-critical audience while providing a nice evening of entertainment and fellowship for members, friends and family.[spacer height=”20px”]

For me, these nights have helped me to develop enough confidence to go on to perform at a Sunday church service, something that had been a goal of mine for quite some time. For all of us, it provides an evening of music of many varieties and lots of fun and fellowship.

This weekly program is open to anyone who wants to meditate.

To learn more about this practice, you are welcome to attend a monthly Introduction to Meditation on the second Monday of the month.  A silent potluck vegetarian meal is held when a fifth Monday occurs in a month, about four times a year.  For more information about our Sangha please go to the Sangha website.
