Care Package Donations
UUCM will be collecting small items for up to 13 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 January 26. Cash donations for postage are welcomed, too. If you know of a young person in college or who is living away from home who would appreciate a care package sent their way, please send their name and address to Karen by January 26. RE classes will help pack and send on January 28.
Save the Date: UUCM Town Hall
The UUCM Board of Trustees invites you to attend a special Town Hall meeting Sunday, January 21 from 11:30–12:30 to learn more about the ministerial options available when UUCM’s Developmental Ministry ends in the next couple of years. There will be time to ask questions and provide input to the board. It will be both in person and on Zoom. Child care will be available.
Game Night Tonight!
From the Board: January 2024
Each month, a member of the board will share a reflection on the Soul Matters monthly theme. The theme for January is Liberating Love. This month’s post is offered by Emily Rosengren.
When I was 27 years old, I was presented with the opportunity to correspond with my biological mother. I was two weeks old when I was adopted by my parents, who always modeled profound appreciation for the unknown woman who gave birth to me. The “opportunity” came to me in the form of a letter from the adoption agency, and the first people I shared it with were my parents. My biological mother’s wish to establish contact filled me with uncertainty. Who was this person? Was she safe? What might she want from me? What if the circumstances of my birth were fraught with pain and unrelenting heartache–what would I do with that knowledge? Above all, was I ready to take this chance? The whole thing felt like reality television, not my actual life.
