Contemplative Service

May 23rd, 9:00 AM Service

Our Lay led Contemplative Service is from 9:00-9:50 am on Sundays (not available in summer), Readings introduce a silent period to reflect on a topic or idea, followed by an opportunity to share individual thoughts.

Dream BIG (and often)
Sat May 22, 7-9:30 pm


 A MESSAGE FROM YOUR AUCTION COMMITTEE

Our Dream BIG (and often) Auction is just 2 days away!!!  

Remember to bring your party and competitive self because the room will be filled with great offerings (in both live and silent auction bidding), plenty of laughter, drinks at a minimum cost, free snacks to keep the energy level up, and a sense of abundance for our wonderful congregation.  Also, don't forget to bring cash, check or credit cards to pay for the services and items at the end of the festivities.  A table with set prices for special lower-cost, you-won't-be-outbid items will also take cash during the night.

And to add to the fun:  for those members or regular UUCM attenders who bring a guest (or several) you can participate in a very special no-cost, no-bid raffle.  Upon check-in each person in your group will receive a ticket for the chance to win a gorgeous, archival matted print by our very own professional award-winning photographer, Dan Van Winkle.  (Knowing that people's dreams differ, Dan will offer a selection from which the winner can choose.)

Children are also welcome and childcare is available.  No excuses for a fun time to be had by all!  See you and your guests on Saturday at 7:00 PM.

For those who like to plan ahead view the silent auction and live auction lists.


Print and View Flyers  for neighbors and friends.
 Members: Congregational Budget Meeting May 23rd

There will be a congregational meeting Sunday May 23rd after the service to vote to adopt the budget.  A copy of the budget can be found in the "members only" section of the web page.  You may also call the office to request a copy.

Jim Scott
in Concert at UUCM
sponsored by our UU AcoUUstic Café!

MC and opening for Jim:
 Rev. Chip Wright  


Don't miss this!  Jim Scott is a wonderful songwriter and musician who was a guitarist for the Paul Winters Consort during its most prolific time, the 1980's.  His songs and arrangements have become anthems of that time and our mother earth!  He has continued to write, sing and play.  Among his songs are "Gather the Spirit" and several others in our UU hymnal.  Jim is also one of the creators of our own UUA Green Sanctuary program and a constant voice for the planet and the environment.   

The suggested donation is $15 at the door.  Wine and beer will be sold by the glass.  Corking fee:  $15.  All the regular AcoUUstic Café's goodies to munch on will be available for a nominal price.  Jim will have CDs of his music for sale as well.  

So tell your friends, spread the word. 
Come early to get a good seat. 

Doors open at 6:30 PM.  
Readers' Theatre Next Meets June 10th

Refreshment Coordinator(s) STILL Needed for 2010-2011 Church Year

Do you love nibbling on those tasty treats and sipping coffee or tea on Sunday mornings?  We need (a) new Refreshment Coordinator(s)  for church year Sept, 2010 to June 2011 in order to continue this tradition!!! Job entails reminding members of upcoming dates for them to provide refreshments, make coffee and clean up kitchen afterwards.

This is a simple way to keep this well-loved part of Sunday morning running smoothly.  Joanne Derby will train you.  Many hands make light work!  Especially when coordinated.
