Upcoming events at UUCSB & beyond
Share the Plate! March 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 Age Friendly Saco. From their website, https://agefriendlysaco.org/
Age Friendly Saco’s mission, “A Community for a Lifetime”, is to promote active aging by optimizing opportunities for health, engagement, and safety while removing barriers that prevent our citizens from remaining in their homes as they age. This will be accomplished through engagement with community organizations as well as collaboration with the City of Saco and the recruitment of community volunteers for the delivery of services that will empower residents to remain in and engaged in their community as they age.
This is an interactive calendar. Click on a highlighted square to find out more about what’s going on on that day! Or, below, you can scroll through the list of upcoming events.

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.”
