December 24, 2023: Join us for this engaging and hands-on retelling of the Christmas story where we’ll get a chance to take part in a spur-of-the-moment Christmas Pageant. Will you choose to be one of the three kings? A cow in the manger? Or just enjoy the proceedings and lend your voice to the songs? […]
December 17, 2023: Often, faith is not something we as Unitarian Universalists recognize as part of our religious experience. This Sunday, we’ll ask each other about our relationships to faith—times that we put our trust in the mysterious and unprovable—and explore what faith can feel and look like for us. […]
December 10, 2023: Our annual December meditation service once again takes the form of a singing meditation circle – singing into silence into singing into silence, in a deepening rhythm. Whether you choose to sing, or hum, or let the sound wash over you, come enter the mystery and magic of the moment. Take a breath before the holiday rush takes hold. […]
December 3, 2023: None of us is ever completely known by another person, and some aspects of our selves will remain a mystery, even to those who love us dearly.

This Sunday, we settle into the mystery and we reach for a bit of the knowing, welcoming UUCM’s newest members in the process. […]

We enter the world absolutely dependent upon those fallible humans who are caring for us, and so when we are young, we cannot help but be afraid, at times, that we won’t have the support or guidance we need or be able to survive on our own. This sends some of us on a life-long search for security, and sends some us in what looks like the exact opposite direction. Come, consider your own (Enneagram) sixy self. […]
All Hallows Eve, Día de Muertos, All Souls, and All Saints days invite us each autumn to remember our ancestors and our beloveds who have died. These tender days on the way to winter even open a window to working on our relationships with those who have gone before us.
In a service steeped in ritual and music, we will remember with honesty, gratitude, and hope.

In the midst of current and confounding “strong man” energies in national and world politics, we draw on Enneagram insights (Type 8) to consider the ways that strength, power, and control sometimes arise in each of us as ideals to protect ourselves from feeling vulnerable, uncertain, powerless. […]
