Movie Night is every second Saturday at 7 p.m. at the UU Center. The movie for this Saturday, March 8th is a classic, thoughtful, comedy, set in the depths of winter: “Groundhog Day,” directed by Harold Ramis (who just died), starring Bill Murray and Andie Macdowell. The movie “improves on each viewing, with endless twists and turns that are funny, moving and even profound”. A movie for the ages - and for the season. Contact Jim Dealing with any questions -deali1jr@cmich.edu or (989) 772-0269.

Our monthly gathering to share a meal and have a fun social time together is happening this Friday, March 7 at 6:00 p.m. This month Chris and Josh Bauerle are hosting the potluck with a Mexican theme (tacos, nachos, etc.). Chris has registered UUFCM at PerfectPotluck.com for this event, to make it easier to coordinate. If you know that you will attend, and would like to supply something specific, please sign up! Even if you don't sign up, please bring a dish and attend. We had a great turnout last month, and we would love to improve on it this month.

Please join me in saying THANK YOU to the many people who helped with the Intergenerational Coffeehouse a couple of Saturdays ago! Card tables were loaned by: Annette Pratt, Gisela & Tom Moffit, Joe Cleveland, Victoria Sladek, Norma Bailey, and Cynthia Damer. Yummy treats were made and contributed by: the McNerny family, Swier Family, Shawn & AJ McKeever, Kris Los, Liz Dealing, Gisela Moffit, Victoria Sladek, Annette Pratt, and Terry Tribe. Set up and clean up crews of: Annette Pratt, Gisela Moffit, Norma Bailey, K’ana Degen, Susan Powers, and Jen Prout (& Friend). 

The acts were remarkable and enjoyed by all! I was struck by the variety and creativity of our performers 6-60+ years of age. Young violinists from Illinois performed in addition to scores of local talent. Such stage presence and interstate participation! The Broadway critics and audience members demand more!

Special thanks to Ivory Griffin for his beautiful Coffeehouse banner he crafted for us! Additional thanks to the remarkable junior emcees of the evening's events: Izzy Rollins and Roman Damer-Daigle! See you next year!

Our monthly gathering to share a meal and have a fun social time together is happening this Friday, February 7 at 6:00 p.m. This month Norma Bailey and Janet Simon are hosting. Simply bring a dish to pass and your week-worn weary self to the UUFCM social hall for nourishment and rejuvenation - at least as much as can be gained from sharing a meal, conversation and laughter with friends. We hope you'll join us!
