SUNDAY SERVICE 10:30 AM
May 5, 2024

“No One Comes to This House Who Is Not Changed.”- Rev. Alison Wohler
Today we will welcome new members.  But this celebration is always a good moment to re-welcome ourselves, to remember why we are here and the power of religious community.  Plus I get to spend time with the congregation that launched me into a career in Ministry.  Hope to see you there!

POTLUCK – Sunday May 5 after the Service ” Welcome to the Family”   Please bring a Mom’s or  family  favorite dish to share.  Help us celebrate new members to UUCM.    

  •  May 5th will be New Member Sunday, when we will celebrate those who have joined the church this year.  Don’t miss this festive occasion!

SHARE-THE-PLATE
Every month, we share our offerings with a community group whose mission is consonant with ours. This month we have selected the Crawford County Mental Health Awareness Program (CHAPS). CHAPS is a non-profit, consumer-driven organization that was founded in 1988.  From day one, CHAPS has been committed to the mission of supporting consumers of mental health services,   advocating for the improvement of local mental health services.
