"A Day of Atonement” Service -- Wednesday, October 8, 7pm
      The Rev. Evan Keely, Interim Minister

In years past, UUCMC has had a special service to acknowledge Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement — one of the most sacred observances in Judaism. Inspired by this tradition as well as by our own Unitarian Universalist heritage, we will gather for a service of reflection and remembrance, challenging ourselves and one another to live up to our most cherished ideals. In doing so, we embrace the true meaning of atonement: at-one-ment, the striving to be at one with that which is most precious to us.

A New Earth -- Beginning October 16^th 

A ten-week class on Eckhart Tolle's book "A New Earth" will be presented beginning on Thursday, October 16.  This Adult Enrichment class, which is free, will be facilitated by Maxine Guenther and Margaret Moro.  For more information and registration, contact Margaret at mvmoro@verizon.net.
