On the third Sunday of every month – immediately following our worship service – the UUFCM Board holds a brief Fellowship Life meeting to update the congregation on current happenings, plans and/or concerns within the congregation. The intention is for the meetings to be kept brief; the hope is for extended conversation to take place following the meeting during the coffee hour time. We will hold our budget hearing this Sunday, as well as share with you the results of the work we all did at the retreat on January 22. Please plan to attend.
If you have never been to a GA, the Board is willing to pay for members to participate virtually using our Leadership Development Funds. If you are interested, please contact Norma Bailey (baile1nj@cmich.edu) for further information, and visit the UUA website to learn more. Of course, if you have attended before, loved it, and found it to be a valuable experience, we encourage you to attend; because GA is virtual again this year, the registration fee is relatively inexpensive at $250.
The virtual MidAmerica Regional Assembly is scheduled for Saturday, April 30th, 2022, 10am-2pm ET. The keynote speaker is social justice educator, storyteller and speaker, CB Beal. There will be worship, the annual business meeting, a keynote address, and conversation as well as community break-out rooms. The Board is willing to pay for members to participate virtually using our Leadership Development Funds.

This orientation is geared to newcomers, visitors, and those seeking to learn more about Unitarian Universalism and this UU fellowship. It is offered every month both in person in the fellowship hall and via Zoom on the last Sunday at 12:30 pm. Sessions run approximately an hour and a half.
If you are interested in watching an introductory video regarding our faith, please view this YouTube video by Peter Bowden called Unitarian Universalism: You're Uni-What?. For more info or to register for Welcome to UU, contact: Laura McBride: 989.772.5512 Lmcbride010@gmail.com Please let Laura know whether you will be attending via Zoom or in-person by the Friday prior to the orientation. As a follow-up to our original survey, we are interested in more specifics about the groups and activities the congregation as a whole would like to participate in. Please take a moment to complete this follow-up survey. It is intended to narrow the focus of our previous survey so we can move forward with offerings. Indicating interest in a group or activity does not mean that you are “signing up” or expected to attend.
