The UUCM Men’s Group has informal gatherings of warm and welcoming UU men. Topics include life experiences, world events, art, science, religion or the lack of it. It is a group that is thoroughly stimulating and interesting and seeks always to be nonjudgmental. We have no leaders and no agenda. All men are welcome. […]
Thursday’s Walking Group walks the trails in Condon Park. Meet at the first parking lot from the main entrance to the park off Butler Street (near the group BBQ pavillion).
On Friday afternoons, drop in to work in community with other UUs on your own art or craft form!
A place to enjoy others’ company while working on independent projects with people who are doing the same. You’re sure to get encouragement and inspiration!
No teacher or facilitator. Informal gathering. All media and abilities welcome!
**This group will meet in the Admin Conference Room in our new building!**
*Note that if no artists or crafters arrive by 1:15, UUCM’s Office Administrator will assume the meeting is canceled for the week and may lock up the building.
Evolving Unitarian Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote that “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Or as Riley Cavanaugh put it, “People are complicated. And messy. Seems too convenient that we’d all fit inside some multiple-choice question.” On this National Coming Out Day, we celebrate the human journey to be who we are.

Bounty & Barter is a truly-free, post-capitalist, eco-friendly, low-maintenance, pop-up marketplace. The idea is to create a space to routinely share the bounty of your gardens, the surplus of your bulk shopping, the hidden treasures in your shed, and find new uses for old ‘stuffses.’ We aim to reuse, repurpose, recycle, upcycle, future-cycle, and love-cycle all without the need for pesky pennies (unless you want to bring them as a trade or gift!).
There are just two rules:
1. no money will be exchanged (barters are at the discretion of the bringers)
2. nothing may be left behind after the market (if you don’t find a taker, you gotta take it home again)
Got yarn, fabric, or leftover craft supplies? Zucchini coming out your ears? What about that box of old magazines you keep meaning to donate? Here’s a regular opportunity to clear the clutter, share the surplus, extricate the extras — or come to take what you find and fashion it a new function!
While RSVPs aren’t necessary, it is nice to know how many tables we should set up. Bringers can email BountyAndBarter@uugrassvalley.org to let us know you’re bringing items to trade or gift. We’ll communicate and coordinate with Hospitality volunteers and set up space for sharing the ‘stuffses’ accordingly. Takers are welcome without RSVPs.
We are going to commit to Second Sundays through November. In December we’ll decide if we’ll keep it going or let it go.
Friends and neighbors are welcome, too! Click here to download a flyer to share.
In honor of Indigenous People’s Day, the UUCM Office will be closed the 2nd Monday in October.
Please feel free to leave a voicemail or email admin@uugrassvalley.org and we’ll get back to you on as soon as we can!
All UUCM women (and friends!) are invited to any Women’s Circle gathering on the second Monday of each month. Come make connections with other UUCM women, and have a few laughs, share stories and concerns with us. The Women’s Circle is open to all women, cis or trans, and non-binary folx who are comfortable in a space that centers this gender.
UUCM one of Interfaith Food Ministry’s (IFM) Supporting Churches. We support them with annual financial contributions and send a team of volunteers to help sort, pack, and distribute food to our community on the 2nd Tuesday of every month.
Please reach out to UUCM’s IFM volunteering lead, Paul at IFM@uugrassvalley.org for more information or meet us at IFM in Grass Valley (440 Henderson St, behind the bowling alley off Colfax Ave).
