UUCM’s North Wall Art Display and our newest artist, Anne Landreman, were just featured on Wayzata.com. The article highlights both Anne’s beautiful pieces and UUCM’s history of supporting local artists and musicians. Anne’s work portrays the energy of nature and the dependence and interdependence of each natural element and their delicate connections, in images both simple and complex. Anne’s watercolor and acrylic pieces will be on display through March.
Interested in learning about non-profit fundraising? Or do you have experience in fundraising and want to use it to help UUCM? Retaining our excellent staff, supporting our strong programming, and operating our building requires money; and we rely on gifts from our members and friends for nearly all of our income. Our annual Stewardship fundraising campaign is coming up in April, and we are looking for volunteers to help with communication, event planning, and outreach. The time commitment is flexible. If you would like to be a part of this important effort, please contact Fred Hulting.
You have more time to drop off a donation for our college care packages! RE classes are collecting small items for about a dozen UUCM young adults who are off to college and other adventures near and far. All will appreciate small, light-weight tokens of our affection and messages of encouragement. Think cards, sweets, gift cards, etc. Use your imagination and bring items to the donation box in the Community Room by February 11. Cash donations are also welcome.
In this week’s message, Rev. Lisa reflects on the story of a friendship that taught her how the power of liberating love can free us from the regret we carry.

Register now for ISAIAH and MUUSJA’s annual Multiracial Democracy Strategy Retreat. Last year’s Retreat was a turning point that helped us to pass some of the biggest pro-democracy reforms our state has seen in the last 50 years. As we head into another critical year for our democracy, we’re going to come back together to get clear about the moment we’re in, ratify our 2024 democracy agenda, and strategize about the path forward to continue to protect and expand our democracy. The retreat is coming up this Sunday, January 28 from 2–8 p.m. at 179 Robie St E, Saint Paul, MN 55107. More details on the event and registration are available here. Please contact Mike Elliott with any questions.
