Sunday Worship Service

The turning point between the old year and the new offers a rich opportunity for reflection. What patterns do you see, and where do you find holes? Lindasusan Ulrich, a seminarian and Candidate for UU ministry, joins us as we take a step back to look at the big picture of our lives.

UUCM's early Sunday morning 9 am Contemplative Service in the Fireside Room is a lay led service.  Readings introduce a silent period to reflect on a topic or idea, followed by an opportunity to share individual thoughts.  

Come and widen our circle. All are welcome!  

Questions, email Carol Kerr at drckerr@pacbell.net.

Social Justice Dinner: "A Film That Can Save Your Life" 

Saturday, January 11  

5:30 - 8:30 (Doors open at 5)

Join us for a hearty, delicious whole-food, plant-based dinner and view Forks Over Knives - a powerful documentary that Roger Ebert called "A film that can save your life." The fit, vigorous Bill Clinton has restored his health, post-heart attack and post-presidency, by adopting the lifestyle described in the film. And Al Gore recently announced that he has followed suit.

Forks Over Knives explores decades of scientific and clinical proof that this lifestyle can prevent and even reverse many of the most common chronic illnesses that plague those who eat the Standard American Diet (SAD). Plus, find out how what we eat impacts:

• Social justice
• Climate change
• A clean, potable water supply
• World hunger
• The health care crisis
• And, potentially, the preservation of life itself

$12/person for a tasty, nourishing, healthy "Food for Life" dinner. Reservations required by January 4. Email Food4Life@uumarin.org with questions or to reserve your space. Bring your friends and neighbors!

Flyer

Most UUCM members identify with (and may have have contributed money to)

various strategic actions in humanitarian crises, civil liberties advocacy, economic and environmental justice.

Yet, many of us still feel a need to round out our year with some kind of direct community connection.  There is still time to make this year's contribution to the UU Service Committee's response to disasters, and human rights: Economic. Environmental etc.

Go to http://uusc.org/

The Jan. 12 offering basket will be shared 50/50 with Image for Success: a volunteer, non-profit organization that provides complimentary wardrobes to men, women and children transitioning to a life of self-reliance.

(Any checks made out to Image for Success will go directly there.)

On April 19th at 6 p.m. we will be holding the UUCM Auction! We would love you to come and find the one perfect item, or better yet, perhaps the perfect ten items!  

So, to help you find just what you wish for at the UUCM auction, we are asking that you provide us a list of your Auction wishes. What do you need?  What might help you ease your very busy lives?

You can send your wish lists to Lori Smith at LASMITH7@ATT.NET, or by calling her at 415-456-3822.

From the Administrator:

There have been a large number of e-mails that have been going to office@uucm.org. This e-mail address is for the administrator at a UU congregation in Milford, New Hampshire. She has been very kind and patient with letting us know when she gets our e-mails, but please remember that my address is  office@uumarin.org. Many e-mail applications memorize every e-mail address you enter, so if the uucm.org e-mail is popping up in yours,please delete it. I promised her we would endeavor to do better!
