"Possibilities Within Silence"

The Reverend Mary Ann Macklin and Friends

         

In an exercise of blatant irony, Reverend Macklin will talk on and on about silence.   However, she will also be joined by friends in this worship service who will offer various modalities to enter into silence through drumming, movement, sound, and flute.   Please join us for this enriching service in which we will deepen our understanding and experience of silence and its gifts.

Why not?

With holiday season upon us, remember you can give to the church as you do your shopping, by purchasing grocery cards on Sunday morning.  Grocery cards from Bloomingfoods, Kroger or Marsh make great gifts-and they can be used to pay for your own holiday cooking, filling a MCUM holiday basket,  or buying gifts, and even gasoline at Kroger! For every $100 gift card you buy at UU, you are contributing $5 (or $3 if you choose Kroger) to the church.   Don't let this opportunity slip by you this season-- and throughout the coming years!  --Mary Goetze
