2026 Assembly
Friday, April 24 to Sunday, April 26, 2026
Pacific Unitarian Universalist Church (PUC)
Striving for Justice Now
“We seek to put into action a greater connection to the diverse people living among us and the diverse gifts from Earth with local collaboration among Unitarian Universalist congregations, fellowships, societies, and churches in partnership with Camp de Benneville Pines.”
Dale Botts
Assembly Committee Chair
Come join Unitarian Universalists and other like-minded individuals as we gather together this April in Rancho Palos Verdes to explore how we can better cultivate a culture of love and put our beliefs into action. It’s going to be a weekend full of amazing keynote speakers, informative workshops, great music and food and most of all, having time to connect with old friends and make some new ones!
The Assembly starts on Friday (4/24) afternoon with the Leaders Luncheon event. The luncheon and gathering is hosted by Camp board president, Pat Gordon with special guest Rev. Summer Albayati, UU Pacific Western Region.
The Annual Assembly offers vibrant and captivating workshops and programs. One of our speakers will highlight Clergy and Laity United for Economic (CLUE) Justice featuring both visible peaceful objections to current government immigration policy and actions to help those affected by it. Another progressive group, Indivisible, has been invited to do a workshop on providing more insight about its success in organizing peaceful protest to a range of current government policy. Unitarian Universalists also have a wide range of social justice activities providing a framework for positive engaging projects. You won’t want to miss this chance for connection and inspiration!
