Changes in Kids Connection: Come See For Yourselves
Over the last few months, as we have been redesigning our Kids Connection spaces and rituals, we have been moved to consider how our Kids Connection program might affect our UUCM children in the long run. What will our children remember about their time in Kids Connection at UUCM? How might their memories of Kids Connection influence the people they grow up to be? […]

Democracy Vespers and Vigil
As a way of launching our February theme of Justice and Equity, Rev. Kevin will host a Democracy Vespers and Vigil at UUCM, a gentle, reflective opportunity to acknowledge and speak to the grief, fear, resilience, hope, and commitment in our hearts and souls. A one-hour indoor vespers service of words, silence, music, and ritual will be followed by a candlelight or glowstick vigil outside, weather permitting. […]
Lay Sermon Seminar: Got a message in you?
Rev. Kevin will once again facilitate a lay sermon-writing seminar beginning in February for a circle of 6-8 people, and is looking for a few more interested persons. Maybe you! Please contact Rev. Kevin by February 6 at minister@uugrassvalley.org.
Using a rich and connective process developed by the Rev. Erika Hewitt, each person will gradually develop a complete sermon over 8 sessions, with support, feedback and encouragement from the rest of the circle. Then, willing members will work with Worship Team members and our Music Director to develop a service around the sermon and its theme.
This will be a significant and meaningful commitment, as the group will meet every two weeks for three hours February to May. The experience will offer a space of learning and self-discovery as well as a chance to build deep connections en route to deep expression in one’s authentic voice. Our hope is that participants will later feel ready to share these sermons/messages on a Sunday morning, and so benefit the Community as well.
Day and time to be determined by the group.
