UUCAV Announce
This is an e-mail list widely used for church announcements, upcoming meetings, etc. UUCAV Announce is a moderated list. This means that postings must be approved by one of the moderators of the list. Currently the moderators are the chairs of the UUCAV Communications Committee. We offer two methods to subscribe: via an e-mail message or on the web.
Once you are a subscriber, you can send e-mail messages to the distribution list at this address: announce@uucav.groups.io. (But remember, since this is a moderated list, they may take a short time to appear.) You can visit the Groups.io website to access the archive of previously posted messages https://uucav.groups.io/g/announce
UUCAV Forum
This e-mail list is a sort of open mike. Topics should pertain to church, religion, or society as opposed to say, gardening, but beyond that anything is fair game including controversial debates — BUT NO FLAMING. Flaming is a personal attack on someone or generally not respecting differences of opinion. This list is unmoderated; any posting will go directly to the list without approval. We offer two methods to subscribe, via an e-mail message or on the web.
To subscribe to UUCAV Forum:
Note: One must be a member of the UUCAV Announce group mentioned above before joining the UUCAV Forum, as the Forum is sub-group of the Announce group.
- Send an e-mail to: forum+subscribe@uucav.groups.io, or

Once you are subscribed, you can send e-mail messages to the distribution list at this address: forum@uucav.groups.io
