During the multigenerational Easter service on April 4, we learned about “Mini Easter Gardens.” Supplies for your own garden are available in a bin by the Free Little Library (near the main entrance), for pick-up through this Sunday, April 11.

Our multigenerational Easter Service is just around the corner (on April 4). Check out these activity pages, designed to be used during the service, or whenever you like. Enjoy!

Our church has always sought to provide safe and nurturing programming for young people. Recently, we have revised and expanded our policies, to be even more proactive and strategic in ensuring a safe place for kids, as well as those who work with them. One bedrock of our policy is the Two Adult Rule: in all programs involving minors, there will be at least two non-related adult leaders, each of whom have been involved at UUCM for at least six months, at least one of whom has completed our Safe Church Training program. Check out these links to learn more about our Safe Church Policies and Training:
