You can sign up with team UUCM or just check out all the great information the site provides. There’s even a chance to win prizes as you learn about meal planning that wastes less and getting to know what you throw. The challenge lasts til August 31.
UUCM Midweek Message | 8/21/2024
In this week’s Question Box, Rev. Lisa explores: “How do UUCM and UUism recognize July’s disability pride month and address the ableism and ageism of our society? After all everyone is temporarily able bodied.”
For more information about UU’s work for disability justice, check out the resources at EqUUalaccess.org and the UUA’s Uplift Access blog.

Join the UUCM Choir!
It’s time for another year of choir at UUCM! All are welcome, invited, and encouraged to join in singing with the UUCM choir. We sing about 10 times each program year and rehearse for an hour to an hour and a half on Wednesday evenings at 7 in the UUCM Sanctuary. Our choir is open to all who wish to sing, regardless of experience level. We use printed notation, but you don’t need to be fluent in reading music to join. Recorded practice tracks are provided to help in note learning and Music Director Paul Winchester and other experienced choir members are eager to help teach skills and practices to make singing with the choir fun and comfortable. If you’re interested, please reach out to Paul at musicdirector@uucmtka.org for more information. Or you’re always welcome to show up on a Wednesday night and get a taste for the joy of UUCM choral singing!
