Every month, from September through June, we and other UU congregations focus on a specific theme.
These are our ‘regular services‘
During the summer, we hold services that follow a different format and schedule.
The Schedule for 2025 UUCM Summer Services
During the summer, UUCM Sunday services will be both familiar and a little different. They will offer opportunities for connection and spiritual renewal, be varied in format or ways to participate, and they will, as always, welcome newcomers.
The Weekly Update will provide the time (usually 9:30am) and location or format for each week.

Regular Services
Below are descriptions of our upcoming regular services. If you see none, that simply means that the descriptions are not yet available.
June is Bustin’ Out All Over: Optimism (In Person and Online)
The Worship Team
June is upon us, with warmer temperatures and sunnier days. Flowers are blooming, and the grass is green. It’s a time for optimism! In this service, we will explore evidence for a feeling of optimism in our church community. The signs are good as long as we stay steadfast and work hard.
We will also recognize our teachers who have contributed so much to our children’s learning this year.
The theme for the month of June is The Practice of Freedom.

Flower Communion: Blooming into Freedom (In Person and Online)
Candy Shirey and The Worship Team
Using the Flower Communion as a metaphor for freedom, this reflection will emphasize that true freedom isn’t just external permission, but an internal journey of self-realization and unfolding of our authentic selves. It connects individual growth to the community’s embrace, highlighting how collective support enables this personal blossoming. For this service, you are invited to bring a flower, symbolizing your unique spirit, and to receive a flower, symbolizing the spirit of another.
After church: Stay for our annual picnic in the Shelley Garden. Weather permitting, we’ll set up a potluck lunch under the trees right after worship. Amy Conley will provide music. You are invited to bring ready-to-eat fare to share: appetizers, salads, sandwiches, fruit, dessert. Beverages will be provided. Bring one of your collapsible chairs too!
