A couple of millennia ago, as the story goes, three kings “traversed afar,” transfixed by the wonder of a grand celestial event. They took with them gifts for a baby who was houseless, born into a minority culture under a repressive regime. What gifts would you bring? What would the baby need to survive? To thrive?
Our annual December meditation service takes the form of a singing meditation circle this year – singing and silence, singing into silence, in a deepening rhythm. Whether you choose to sing, or hum, or let the sound wash over you, come, find stillness and wonder together at the center of the moment, and before the holiday rush takes hold. […]
We remind each other often that membership in this community is an unfolding journey. Joining officially is one meaningful and powerful moment in that journey, though it is neither the beginning nor the end of it. Those who’ve been members for a while eventually reach another kind of threshold that in effect invites them into re-membership.

Life is full of changes and surprises. How can we meet them with hope? What does our UU tradition teach us about how to make a path through life’s twists and turns? We’ll explore in story, ritual, and song.
How do we navigate change while hanging onto the traditions we hold dear? Is it possible to rethink the way we get “to grandmother’s house” and better align our rituals with our values? You are invited to bring an item from your Thanksgiving centerpiece or table to place on our shared table during the service.
How is it with your spirit on this post-election Sunday? How does our UUCM mission and our personal sense of purpose guide our next steps? Join us for this service as we explore together what we are now called to be.

But what if what we need to say takes courage? In our annual remembrance service, we will draw inspiration from the wisdom of our Mexican and Pacific Island neighbors, recognizing that it is never too late to invest in our relationships with those who matter to us.
Everyone faces hard things – sometimes every day! How do we find the courage to do the big and the small hard things? Come jump into the deep end with us as we explore together how to be brave in the face of our fears and trepidations. […]
“If I knew then what I know now….” Come and hear what three of our UUCM elders have to say they have learned about courage in the course of their long and well-lived lives. What might we learn right now? […]
