Upcoming events at UUCSB & beyond
Share the Plate! Summer 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.
For the summer months, we ask for donations to be split between UUCSB's general fund and The Equality Community Center. From their website:
The Equality Community Center is a collaborative workplace for LGBTQ+ and allied social justice seeking non-profit organizations.
We strive to provide a safer and more inclusive gathering space with social and educational programming for all, while supporting the most marginalized in our communities.

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.”
