The Board of Trustees is delighted and excited to announce a unique approach to having an Interim Minister while we begin preparing for the arrival of UUCM's next settled minister. Instead of one minister we'll have a team of three experienced and skilled people assisting us beginning August 1st, 2018.  Please click here to meet the new Interim Ministry Team and full details.

• Flower Communion
  
• Bridging Sunday
  
• Ingathering Water Ceremony
  
• Earth Day
  
• Day of the Dead

• Thanksgiving
  
• Winter Solstice
  
• Christmas Eve

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, led by Sam Brandt and supported by Cathy Bujold.
