Share a Remembrance
We are living in troubled times and we all need care from time to time. You can light a candle, request pastoral care, find support from the care team, or honor our community’s joys and sorrows. Do not bear the burden alone. We are here for each other.
Candles of Remembrance
Sharing Remembrances in Worship works best when we share our souls’ yearnings with the worship leader before Sunday morning. If you would like to have this Sunday’s worship leader share your request aloud during the pastoral prayer, you may do so by submitting the form. This will also light a candle on our website.

Barbara Ann
Deborah Ann Tripoldi lit a candle of thanks and hope. Her mother Barbara Ann returned home finally on January 16, four months exactly from the day she fell out of bed. She says "We still have a long road ahead of ourselves. Additionally, we want to thank everyone at UUCM for all the help and support."

John Heller Beckman
Jill Beckman-Gaynes lit a candle of remembrance for her father, John Heller Beckman, who was born 100 years ago on January 22. He was a quiet, brilliant man who was deeply devoted to all of his many children and grandchildren. Though he left the Earth almost two decades ago, his presence and love are felt everyday by the large family he left behind. Jill thanks her father for the gifts of a curious mind, a courageous heart, an eye fixed on justice, and the knowledge of how to change a flat tire, even though she's never had to actually do it. He was a truly great father and he is missed dearly.
