Remembrance Vespers
On Sunday November 5 at 7pm, we present a special evening service in remembrance of those who have come and gone before us. Through music and spoken word, we turn in community toward that which we hold sacred, sharing our stories of love, loss, and healing.
Services will feature music from Mozart's Requiem
Names of deceased loved ones will be said aloud during the litany portion of the service. If you have one or more names to add to the Remembrance Vespers Litany of Names,
please email them to music@uusm.org.
Contact: Director of Music, Dr. Zanaida Robles, music@uusm.org.

Certain things scare us. Things that trigger the cascade of mental, emotional and physiological responses to fear are meant to retard our interactions with danger. But preoccupation with fear leaves us with a spiritually disability–unable to exchange love and understanding at a deep level.
When Angels Meet Giants

Worship Associate:
Leon Henderson-MacLennan
We are far greater than the sum of our parts. The evolution of the world depends on our ability to cultivate a greater appreciation of diversity and a more cooperative interdependence. That is what can be discovered in real, relevant, 21st century religious communities.
Growing Up and Liking It
Sunday, October 15, 2017
Rev. Kikanza Nuri-Robins
Worship Associate:
Vilma Ortiz
This was the title of a book my mother gave me before the onset of puberty. It seems that I was surrounded by elders ready to teach, warn, prepare, and escort me through those early phases of growth and development. Now that I am at the other end of life’s arc, I am not finding as much help. Where are the elders to shepherd me through this phase of degeneration and wisdom? Perhaps their messages are more subtle. This morning we will think about some of the blessings and challenges of Growing Old, especially when we are not liking it so much.
Getting to the Heart of the Matter
Sunday, October 8, 2017
Rev. Greg Ward
Worship Associate:
Abby Arnold
This is a sermon about the place where many of us long to be, that is found in the heart of community. It is a place where we are known; where we unquestionably belong. A place that provides us a role and a little responsibility – not so much to be a burden, but enough to offer unquestionable purpose. A place that comes with the respect and appreciation of good people. And, usually, with a little creativity, just enough of whatever’s needed to be successful
Adult RE - "Can We make Room Enough for Love?"
Come to a one-day workshop where participants will be able to explore their questions, cultural overlays, attitudes and assumptions about love, loving relationships, marriage and monogamy. How can “stand on the side of love” with people whose relationships don’t fit the societal norms? We will support people in non-mainstream relationships to feel empowered to “come out” in their communities, including their church community. Be prepared for a day of critically examining your ideas, learning from others, and maybe being exposed to a wider variety of love and loving relationships than you ever considered before. Come share your views and experiences with others in a safe, intimate atmosphere of inquiry and support.
Facilitators: Ian Dodd, Margot Page and Beth Rendeiro, UUCCSM’s OWL coordinator

Open Meditation
NEW! Open Meditation: Fri, Sept 22, 7pm-8:30pm. Forbes.
You are cordially invited to a new monthly group called “Open Meditation.” Whether you are a beginner who is just curious about meditation or whether you have been meditating for many years – you are welcome. At its root, Meditation is a natural and deeply human practice. We are not teaching a particular form of meditation or doctrine. You don’t need to know anything, do any particular activity or believe in anything. We will have brief readings, one 25-minute period of sitting with walking meditation, and time for journaling and sharing. You can drop in when it serves you, or come regularly. If you are late, just come in quietly and join us. If you have questions, speak with one of us at coffee hour on Sunday, or give us a call.
We will meet beginning in October every third Friday in Forbes Hall. Facilitators: Beverly Shoenberger and Carol Ring .

Open Meditation - Zoom/Online
Open Meditation Wellsprings: Mondays - Online
These are drop-in groups. You are welcome to join us when it feels right to you. If you come in late or need to leave early, just do so quietly. These are exceptional times, and we trust each person to use the group in the way that fits their need.
We listen to brief readings, sit together quietly for twenty minutes, journal and share with each other what's on our hearts. This time of quiet meditation and sharing can help sustain and ground us during these difficult days - supporting us to pause and rest in our embodied experience, as it is. We simply sit together in our shared humanity. We call off the struggle to become other than we are.
NEW: We meet every 2nd and 4th Monday evenings, from 7:30 to 9:00 pm..
Taking this time for quiet meditation and sharing in the intimacy of having sat in silence together can help sustain and ground us during these difficult days.
Please email Meditation@UUSM.org for the zoom link and directions for using zoom.
