ICOP Sleep Out

IOCP Sleep Out Registration Open! UUCM’s first Youth Group will be our annual IOCP Sleep Out! Interfaith Outreach and Community Partners supports people in our community by providing a variety of services, including housing support, a food shelf, and family assistance that is vital to thousands of families and individuals within Hennepin County. Anyone who is in Grade 6 or above is invited to sleep out either under the stars, in a tent, or in their own cardboard creation on the grounds of UUCM as a means to raise awareness about homelessness. Please fill out this form by November 9 or contact Karen Heuiser with any questions.

Artist Meet & Greet This Sunday!

Please join us in the sanctuary after the service this Sunday, October 19 for a meet and greet with our new North Wall Artist, James Turner. The watercolors displayed on our sanctuary walls in October and November invite us to share the joy James finds in creativity and expressing it through color, texture value and design. Even while busy with a career in medicine, he found time to explore photography, sculpture and printmaking. For the last 30 years he has been working in and teaching watercolor. He is a signature member of the Minnesota Watercolor Society and has received multiple awards for his work.    

Buckthorn Cleanup

Calling all Buckthorn Warriors! Our next attack is coming up Sunday, October 26 at  11:30. The rain date will be November 2. Bring your own gloves, water, loppers and lunch, if you’d like it! Some tool sharpeners will be available. Last time worked so well to have a partner.  One to cut, one to herbicide, then haul. Thanks to an amazing crew last time: Roger C., Jim L., Sundbys, Judy L., Dachelet Dynamo Duo, Hannah and Jane, Cory W.,  Mary Blake E., and Dynamic Dick A. Salute to you! All your volunteer time helps with the Mindful Steward grant.
