Granting each other freedom of mind and spirit, we commit to this community of mutual care.
In that spirit of caring we pledge to be mindful when speaking of one another.
We will walk in the ways of truth and loving-kindness that we and our children may always be fulfilled. So that the world maybe fulfilled, we dedicate ourselves to the work of justice and peace, seeking always to soothe sorrow and to inspire joy.
~ UUFCM Covenant
Sunday Worship
Throughout the summer, our services will explore new possibilities for meaning in religious language. Our guide will be the book Fluent in Faith: A Unitarian Universalist Embrace of Religious Language. This week's sermon is Covenant and Doctrine. Remaining sermons in the series include:
Summer Worship Series: Fluent in Faith
July 20: Sacrament and Prayer
July 27: Sanctuary
Movie Night
Movie Night is every second Saturday at 7 p.m. at the UU Center. The movie originally scheduled for June 14th will be shown this Saturday, July 12th. “Twenty Feet from Stardom” won the 2014 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. It looks at the world of back-up vocalists and the legends they support. An audience favorite and something light for summer.

For the past few weeks, there have been some difficulties in which some people were not receiving emails sent from the admin@uufcm.org account. It appears that most of the problem has been solved - at least, there have been no new instances of not receiving the eNews. If you are still getting double emails from UUFCM, please reply to this week's eNews with just the message 'Got It'. If you get two eNews emails, please reply to both. Kirsten has developed a list of those receiving from the UUFCM account, but sends duplicates to everyone else. Thanks again for your help and your patience!

“Unitarian Universalism doesn't really care one whit whether you're an atheist, a theist, agnostic, Buddhist, Pagan, or Barnes and Noble-ite. Our question for you is whether your atheism, theism, paganism, Buddhism, or Barnes and Noble-ism leads you to connection, leads you to listen to your deepest self, be open to life's gifts, and serve needs greater than your own.
In other words, do your beliefs help you connect to self, life and others?”
