Join us Sunday November 16th for our next Sunday service, followed by Fellowship Hour in our basement Hall. We will have coffee and snacks for all! This week’s service we will look at ways we can be better allies to the trans and non-binary community.
Announcements
Transgender Day of Remembrance
November 20th marks the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), an international memorial day to honor transgender individuals who have lost their lives due to the transphobia and violence.
On November 23rd, our church will host a TDOR service at 7:00 PM. There will be food provided by Carol Veenstra before and after the memorial in the lounge. The service will have a few trans congregation members speaking, followed by a reading of the names of the trans individuals we lost this year.
Interfaith Thanksgiving Service
Monday, November 24th UU Manchester will again be hosting the Greater Manchester Interfaith Thanksgiving Service. It’s been several years since we have hosted, so we are very excited!!
We will need volunteers to provide refreshments for hospitality following the service, and people to attend the service to welcome our guests! 🙂 (I will try to confirm the exact time before the end of the week…but 5:30 is a good start time for set up and choir rehearsal)
For more information, you can contact Rev. Kali at minister@uumanchester.org
Thank you!

Holiday Faire Cookie Bakers
We need bakers to make cookies for our famous Cookie Walk Buffet, a fun part of our Holiday Faire. Now is a great time to make dough and freeze it for baking later as we get closer to the faire. Please see Cookie Coordinators Pam Del Pozo-Waldron and Rin Cutter to sign up.
Holiday Faire Flyers
Oh boy oh boy oh boy! We have official holiday flyers available for you to take and display at your workplace break room, Library, grocery store, bookstore,… wherever they have a community bulletin board where we might advertise our faire.
They will be available downstairs on the fair table at Coffee hour for the next few weeks.
