Upcoming events at UUCSB & beyond
Share the Plate! February 2026
Each month, UUCSB chooses an organization to split weekly donations made by congregants during the course of Sunday services. As many of you attend virtually, we are providing an online venue for these donations.
This month, we ask for donations to be split between UUCSB's general fund and IFKA Community Services. From their website, https://ifkacommunity.org/
Our founder recognized the necessity for increased representation of immigrant women. This realization gave birth to our organization: IFKA Community Services, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Lewiston, Maine. IFKA means Mother Earth in Somali. Since its inception, IFKA has been guided and fueled by the leadership of immigrant mothers. We came together to share our experiences, learn, understand, and make a difference in our community.

School Street Coffeehouse with the Yoga Ti Band
Musician Ben Parker, “The Yoga Ti Band was a concept that came from a dream I had perhaps 15 years ago in Peekskill, NY. In it, I was traveling with a wandering group of minstrels.We all sang and played instruments. Everything was improvised. We walked to our gigs and set up our tents on the stage the night before the gig. In the morning we would wake up and start with a lengthy, very relaxing yoga session. Then we would solemnly drink a carefully administered cup of magic herbal tea, and the concert would begin.”
