We are hoping to include a number of voices of UUMAN in this service. This will be a chance for us to see one another and hear each other speak about love. What we are hoping is that many will record a 1-2 minute video, describing how you answer the call of love. We are listening for the voices of elders and children, long time members and those newly joined.
To contribute please contact our Worship Chair.
We will be welcoming the beginning of what is often called “Black History Month” by celebrating African American inventors, leaders, and artists. This service will be an opportunity for everyone in the family to deepen our understanding of real American history.

NEW MEMBER SUNDAY
We will hear about different ways we can participate in making change, some as part of UUMAN and some outside of UUMAN. This service will help us fulfill our mission: Strive for Justice. Transform the World.
This election is one of the most important in modern times. A lot is at stake and UUs are compelled to be active participants in this democratic process. How can we be involved given our physical restrictions?
