Thank you to everyone who attended the May 22 Annual Meeting of the congregation! We elected leaders, approved the 2022-23 budget, and endorsed the work of the 8th Principle Project. We invite you to review the UUCM Annual Report, where our Board President, Minister and each UUCM ministry team shares a brief summary of their work over the year. Our gratitude goes out to everyone who helped our shared ministry and community to thrive.
This week’s message mourns the 21 lives lost at Robb Elementary School and marks the second anniversary of George Floyd’s murder. Rev. Lisa reflects on our need to find our voice and continue to work for the change our world so desperately needs.
We share these resources on talking with children and youth in the wake of mass violence, as we grieve with Ulvade TX, Buffalo NY, Laguna Woods CA, and so many more.

In this week’s message, Rev. Lisa reflects on the importance of connecting to beauty and how the Navajo philosophy of Hózhó has expanded her understanding of it. This week’s video was recorded at Deming Heights Park in Minneapolis, which has also been called Grandview Park or Norwegian Hill in the past. Located on stolen land from the Dakota people just a few miles North of the sacred site of the Owámniyomni, or ‘St. Anthony Falls,’ Rev. Lisa is still searching for its Indigenous history and name.
