Changing Times: Beginning on 13 September 2026

Beginning on 13 September 2026, West Fork Unitarian Universalists services will be held Sundays at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Google Meet and in person at the Progressive Women’s Association Event Center, 305 Washington Ave. in downtown Clarksburg, behind the Courthouse. A coffee hour, a time for discussion and socializing (including Google Meet participants), follows from the end of the service until 8:00 p.m.

Daylight Saving Time begins (March 8, 2026)

Daylight Saving Time BEGINS (in those parts of the United States where it is celebrated) on Sunday, March 8, 2026, when 2:00 a.m. is magically revealed to be 3:00 a.m., leaving an hour-long hole in the night, an hour of sleep lost, and tired eyes and slight disorientation among the population for weeks to come.

Please remember to set your clocks forward one hour Saturday evening so you will be on time for all your important appointments on Sunday and during the coming weeks. But if you forgot to set your clock, you might as well waste a bit more time listening to Pink Floyd, because you’re already late.

Daylight Saving Time ends (November 2, 2025)

Daylight Saving Time in the United States ENDS on Sunday, November 2, 2025, when 2:00 a.m. is mysteriously revealed to be a repeat of 1:00 a.m., and we all have to relive that hour.  But an extra hour of sleep might not be a bad thing, even though it is, in reality, the hour that was stolen from us 8 months ago.

Remember to set your clocks back one hour Saturday night so you’re not an hour early tomorrow morning! The coffee won’t even be ready yet!
