Today’s service is called "Awakening the Power of Less" Here, during Lent and on the 3rd day of Ramadan, we will explore spiritual disciplines like Fasting and Simplicity.

Members of the autumn 2021 UUCM Great Works class who examined the book "A Theology for the Social Gospel" by Walter Rauschenbusch will join Rev Scott for this important work to become part of the Interfaith conversation to share our unique vision of what is wrong and what saves us.
How Lucky You Are
"How Lucky You Are" explores the truth that beliefs have consequences. Too many religious systems believe fantastical notions many people cannot grasp or explain.
