Question of the Quarter
Submitted by uufcm on Thu, Apr/5/2012 - 7:09
from your Worship Team
The question we would like to put forward for this quarter (we do this periodically to gain your insight and response to the worship experience) is about the element of music in worship - it is a three-part question:
- How important (integral/relevant/essential) is the experience of music within the service to your overall experience of worship?
- What aspects of the varying types of music shared in worship - choral, solo vocal, instrumental, congregational singing - do you find the most satisfying and/or dissatisfying?
- Are there any types/styles of music that you would like to experience more of in service, or that you would like to see introduced?
It would be helpful if you could put your responses in writing. You can respond using the online survey, or if you prefer, please email your response to Guy Newland. We thank you in advance for the sharing.

Past As Prologue: The UUFCM Story
Submitted by uufcm on Fri, Sep/2/2011 - 11:07
As we stand at the threshold of a new chapter in the story of the UUFCM, we want to reflect back on those who first dreamed of and began the process of creating and growing this congregation, this church. We begin at the only place we can, with the person who first brought this dream forward – our founding minister, Bob Franke.
