Love at the Edges
Rev. Bill Neely
Love is at the center of our denomination’s Shared Values, reflecting our tradition as well as who we are becoming. How does this love that at our center lead us beyond ourselves? How can our “center” strengthen us for ministry at the edges?
Music: Michael Rosin, Music Director

There is No Sand Here!
The Rev. Rosemarie Newberry
To practice our faith, we do not put our heads in the sand. We seek out the truth of our world. We cannot ignore the state of our world. And it is hard work to keep our heads up, to speak up and to show up. With another election on the horizon, what actions can we do that expresses our faith?
Music: Michael Rosin, Music Director

Frontier Feminists
Jeff Heller
I’ll focus on one woman from the 1700s who’s very interesting but largely unknown. Molly Brant, an Iroquois whose life of adventure during the Revolutionary War inspired three women (including Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott) to write the documents that launched the struggle for women’s rights in America.
Jeff Heller writes historical fiction for young adults, in addition to screenplays, novels for adults, and short plays.
The weekly service link is sent out via email each week. In addition, our weekly eblast that comes out on Thursday mornings has loads of information about UUCMC happenings. If you are not already on our email list, click the button in the footer to sign up. Our Facebook page (click here) is also updated as information unfolds.
We welcome you into our meetinghouse or you can join us in community from your homes.

Septmeber Theme: BUILDING BELONGING
One of the most important things you can do on the earth is to let people know they are not alone.
Without community there is no liberation, only the most vulnerable and temporary armistice between an individual and her oppression.
Where you belong is where you choose to constantly choose to show up.
I was so shocked to learn that the opposite of belonging is fitting in. Because fitting in is assessing a group of people and changing who you are. But true belonging never asks us to change who we are. It demands we be who we are.
Locate the kind of belonging that doesn’t demand your erasure.
I believe every inch of America is sacred, from sea to shining sea. I believe we make it holy by who we welcome and by how we relate to each other.
It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.
Belong to your place by the knowledge of the others who are your neighbors in it: the old man, sick and poor, who comes like a heron to fish in the creek.
Belonging is the story that changes because you arrived.
