Two Questions and a Welcome
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
May 18, 2025
Rev. Kevin Tarsa
Tracy Pepper, Worship Associate

On May 21, 1995 a set of adventurous and visionary souls signed their names as the first members of a new Unitarian Universalist community taking shape in Grass Valley and Nevada City. Here, thirty years later, we pick up the thread of their imagination and carry it into the new day. Join in as we welcome UUCM’s newest members.
