Updated October 7 The UUCM Auction is held each year to create a fun community-building event for our members and friends, and to raise money for the UUCM General Fund. The Auction has grown to be one of the most anticipated events on the UUCM Social Calendar and our largest fundraiser.

After two years of all-virtual auctions, the 2022 event will return to the church building on Saturday November 5^th with an in-person live and silent auction. Doors open at 5:30pm, and the program begins at 6:30pm.  The live auction will also be open to Zoom participants, and we will continue with the popular online bidding from Friday October 28^th to Sunday November 6^th.

This year’s theme is “Sock Hop!”  Our school-dance inspired theme is a celebration of our new DFM and Ministerial Intern, and their role in teaching our children and helping UUCM to be a teaching congregation.

We hope you will participate in the auction fun. Here’s how:

1. Mark your Calendar: Put the dates listed above on your calendar and plan to engage in the online and in-person events.
2. Make a Donation:  Please consider donating an item, event, or experience.  Your donations are critical to the auction’s success. To make a donation, please use the form at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/uucmauction2022 by Midnight on Monday, October 24.  You can find ideas for donations by browsing these past catalogs.

If you receive an email or text message that appears to be from a UUCM minister, staff or church member asking you for a favor, money or to purchase gift cards, please be sure to always speak with the alleged sender directly (draft a separate email, or call them) BEFORE giving money or purchasing gift cards of any kind. Please be extra cautious and communicative if you are not sure about a request. Learn more here and feel free to reach out to office@uucmtka.org with any questions.

On Exhibit from September 1 – November
“My work is [intuitive and] painterly, with flowing lines, and marked by the obvious sign of the hand.  Each piece has its own energy derived by the intensity of the marks but also the choice of colors, vivid, sometimes joyful, other times muted, pensive or sorrowful. My themes are about spirituality, social justice, art and healing.”
