Child and Baby Dedication at UUCM
Sunday, February 9 at 10:00 AM
We will be welcoming children and babies with a Dedication on February 9 during our worship service. If you have a child or baby whom you would like to be celebrated in this way, please contact Meg Riley, RevMeg@uucmtka.org. UUs don’t christen or baptize children; instead we dedicate ourselves to them and honor the gifts they bring into the world.
Youth Cookie Sale a Success
Many thanks to all who supported the youth Holiday Cookie Sale on 12/15- the plates of cookies sold out in record time. The sale raised $560 to support upcoming youth trips and activities. Thank you, Stacy Doepner-Hove and family, for your leadership of this fundraiser.
Family Greeters Needed
Do you remember your first day at UUCM? Did someone greet you warmly and share some helpful information? Being greeted is particularly crucial for those visitors considering our RE program for their kids. If you can come to service early once a month or so to share a smile and give a little tour, please contact Jennifer at dre@uucmtka.org. We need you 🙂 This is a wonderful service opportunity for a family to share (and great for individuals too).
