Online Worship During COVID-19

Online Worship Every Sunday at 10 AM

Each Sunday, members, friends  and guests of UUCM gather on Zoom for a time of  worship, community, and reflection. 


THE FEBRUARY SOUL MATTERS THEME IS BELOVED COMMUNITY


Sunday, February 28 - Risking Love: the Inner Journey to Beloved Community

Dr. Sharon Welch reminds us that the work of social justice requires an ethic of risk and a willingness to be transformed by our experiences. What holds us back from risking the change that could make the Beloved Community a reality? What invites us to risk a larger journey of love, even if we know we will stumble along the way?

Music is a big part of Sunday Worship  Service at UUCM. Our music director, Paul Winchester, brings a lively  array of genres from folk to rock,  jazz to classical, and occasionally a little rap!  


Music is especially celebrated annually each spring with Music Sunday where the worship service is led by our Music, the service is alive with loud and vibrant music! 


The UUCM Band plays many times throughout the year, and includes drums, bass, acoustic guitar, and cello. 


UUCM also has a large and talented choir. They sing about once a month, and rehearsal about three times a  month. Once or twice a year, an Invitational Choir is assembled for  people who wish to sing in the choir but not make a permanent commitment. 


Musical performances and recruitment of guest musicians is also facilitated by the Church Council Music Ministry team.
