Please join us in person or online at 10:30am on Sunday, Nov. 8, with Nancy Baker and the Worship Team.
“Maybe” is a fallback position when you have doubts about what course to take. Doubts can be physical, emotional, social, political, or spiritual. This service explores how to begin with doubts in order to end with certainties. We’ll consider why choice should be inclusive, not expedient. Details at uucm.org.

Remember to set your clocks back an hour on Saturday night!

Then join us in person or online for our annual All Souls Sunday at 10:30am on Nov. 1 with Rev. Patience Stoddard.
Each year, we observe this Sunday as a time of remembrance for our departed loved ones. Rev. Patience will reflect on those times when the "veil between the worlds" is most thin and the lives of those who are dead seem to touch the living. Reflecting on those we have lost reminds us that love outlasts physical absence, transforming our grief into a guiding moral compass for how we live today. By honoring their memory, we weave their values and enduring impact into the fabric of our ongoing lives.
You are invited to bring a small memento or photo of your loved one and a brief memory to share. Details at uucm.org.

"Refusing to Forget" Project (New Hampshire)

• What is it: A community art and activism project coordinated by the Granite State Organizing Project and local faith communities.
• Purpose: Black and red prayer flags are created to honor and remember individuals who have died while in ICE custody or as a result of ICE-related enforcement.
• Details: Each black and red flag bears the specific name and age of a person who passed away, serving as a visual tribute and educational tool. Local events have been hosted at community spaces.

Participating in the “Refusing to Forget” Project at UUCM was a deeply moving experience and an act of remembrance. Across many faiths, remembering is not a passive backward glance; it is a sacred, active duty. To remember is to bring the lives, the struggles, and the injustices of those who have been marginalized or lost into our present consciousness, acknowledging their inherent worth and dignity. By tying these ribbons, we were not just engaging in historical memory—we were performing a theological act of lament, solidarity, and truth-telling. We refuse to let the beloved people of our communities be forgotten, and we recommit ourselves to the divine call for justice, healing, and the honoring of every soul. "Justice is what love looks like in public," and today, we remembered.

Please join us in person or online at 10:30am on Sunday, October 18, when Rev. Patience Stoddard will do her best to answer this question.
HINT: David was born in the 16th century and is known for being the Founder of the Unitarian Church of Transylvania. Patience recently visited our sister church there, so perhaps we’ll hear more about that…
NOTE: The furnace will be shut down on Friday so it can cool down for its replacement next Mon-Weds. So dress warmly or join via Zoom instead. Details at UUCM.org.

Please join us in person or online at 10:30am on Sunday, October 11, with guest speaker, Rev. Kathy Schmitz. A robust democracy requires the involvement of all the people, and a healthy society requires the thriving of all the people. Details at uucm.org.

10/02/2026

Please join us in person or online at 10:30am on Sunday, October 4, with Rev. Patience Stoddard. Why do so many people who call themselves Christians seem to be more comfortable with hate than with universal love? One answer is the merging of the inner power of religion with the outer power of the state. It tends to bring out the worst in both. We will examine Christian Nationalism from the point of view that it is a distortion of theology and look at the work of three people: one a Baptist minister, one a UCC minister of the largest congregation in Oklahoma, and one who happens to be a comedian, the result of the marriage between a former nun and a former priest. Details at UUCM.org.

09/26/2026

Please join us in person or online at 10:30am on Sunday, September 27, when the Worship Team will explore how UUs can define ourselves when we are so diverse. How do we live in the world when we accept others rather than define others? Where do our ideas and ideals meet our day-to-day experience as a spiritual and social community? How does a congregation that “does rather than says” work in a larger world that says before it does? Join us for a discussion of what it is to be a UU. Details at uucm.org.

09/20/2026

Please join us in person or online at 10:30am on Sunday, September 20, with Rev. Patience Stoddard for our traditional in-gathering service where you bring water from your travels, your home, or your imagination to join others in a ceremony of commitment to a new year together. We will affirm that we are one “body of water”, a beloved community brought together by our love for one another and our hopes for a healing and productive year working together.
AFTER CHURCH: Please stay for our annual congregational photo and a brief Congregational Meeting to vote on a withdrawal from the endowment to approve the expenditure of Building Fund money for a new gas burner. If attending remotely, the meeting will use the same zoom link as the worship service.

06/13/2026

Please join us in person or online at 10:30am on Sunday, June 14, for our annual flower communion and celebration of this beloved community. We will also enjoy guest pianist Diane Ammons.
For this service, you are invited to bring a flower, symbolizing your unique spirit, and to receive a flower, symbolizing the spirit of another. Details at uucm.org.

Plan to stay after the service for our annual potluck picnic in the Shelley Garden, weather permitting. Please bring a portable chair if possible.
