They will all be considered easy\, 1-4 mile walks with minimal elevation gain in beautiful spots within no more than 1 hour drive from the church. Depending on the walk\, we may linger for snacks or even lunch. While some level of fitness and mobility will be required\, these walks will be planned to be as accessible as possible. One walk will be planned each month from October through April. \nJoin us for our first outing today at Sunnylands in Rancho Mirage. We will gather at 9am in front of the visitor’s center. We will walk around the property’s various gardens followed by coffee in the snack shop (optional).  It should last until about 11am.  URL:https://uucod.org/event/joyful-jaunt-october/ LOCATION:Sunnylands\, 37977 Bob Hope Dr.\, Rancho Mirage\, CA\, 92270 CATEGORIES:Featured Event,Social & Special Interest Activities ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uucod.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/sunnylands-400x225-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Sandy Sladen":MAILTO:sandysladen@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251025T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251025T160000 DTSTAMP:20250911T182049Z CREATED:20250911T182049Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250911T182049Z UID:10003119-1761397200-1761408000@uucod.org SUMMARY:Social Change Now by Deepa Iyer Workshop DESCRIPTION: URL:https://uucod.org/event/social-change-now-by-deepa-iyer-workshop/2025-10-25/ LOCATION:Community Room\, 72425 Via Vail\, Rancho Mirage\, CA\, 92270\, United States CATEGORIES:Class,Meetings,Reservations,Social & Special Interest Activities END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251026T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251026T110000 DTSTAMP:20251008T163556Z CREATED:20250925T172515Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251008T163556Z UID:10001771-1761472800-1761476400@uucod.org SUMMARY:Sunday Worship: "Still Standing: We’ve Been Here Before" DESCRIPTION:Worship Leader: Dr. Imani WoodyWorship Associate: Bryna Blum \nIt is in these times of uncertainty that we remember how our peoples have weathered similar storms in the past\, drawing resilience from experience.

Why the name change? This may seem like a small change\, but what we really hope is that this becomes more of a time for us guys to socialize\, mingle and get to know each other even better — that just happens to be over breakfast. The second exciting change — which we instituted last month and was a great success — was gathering in the community room at church instead of a restaurant. This allowed more time together and a better way to interact with each other. We serve a light breakfast and have coffee\, juice\, and other cold drinks.
