Join us Sunday January 18th at 10 AM for our next service! Services are followed every week by Fellowship Hour, where we provide snacks and coffee in our Hall downstairs.
Today, January 18th, at 11:45 AM we will also be holding a Building Town Hall where we will talk about our building’s repair and maintenance needs and how we hope to acquire funding for several high cost repairs.

This Week In RE
All month long, we are exploring how kids can practice resisting some of the main pressures that pull them away from being their best selves. This week, we are exploring the challenge of resisting racism. We know that racism is just one of the many oppressions that kids and adults face. However, since this session is near Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we are focusing on racism to honor the way racism was central to his work. This also gives us the opportunity to lift up our UU Value of Justice and its call to “dismantle racism and all forms of systemic oppression.” Next week we are exploring the challenge of resisting distraction, overwhelm, anger and worries, or what is often called the “monkey mind.”
Winter Weather Information
As the winter weather season is upon us, there may be times we will move Worship to zoom only. In the event of a storm, we will send announcements by email, and broadcast over WMUR Weather cancellation notices, as well as on our Facebook page.
Please keep these resources in mind. Also, feel free to join our zoom service any time the weather may be iffy, we have a vibrant group online!
Planning Center Online
Good morning lovely UUCM people! The Planning Center/Church Center switch is complete! By the time you read this, Breeze will have been canceled. All committee members should have gotten an email with instructions on how to log into the new Church Center platform. Church members, you will be getting these emails soon! I will have detailed instructions in the email, but I will also be hosting a class, possibly a bi-weekly class, starting February 8th after Fellowship Hour. The class will be around an hour long and will cover the PCO/Church Center website, how to download the app, and how to navigate the new system. It is very user friendly with a sleek clean interface, so learning the new stuff should be super easy for everyone. I also have a printout to hand out to all church members going over the class in a quick and condensed page.
Thanks all, and I look forward to seeing folks in class!

Hospitality Update Jan 2026
Happy New Years to all! I’d like to thank the volunteers who hosted Hospitality this year! The kitchen order and sanitation have largely been followed according to our new “Carry In Carry Out Policy. The kitchen condition and organization is much improved than a year ago.
I’ve noted that the food assortment at Coffee Hour has gotten quite extravagant at times, and I think it’s time we pull back, acknowledging that its intent is a snack, not a meal. Choir Sundays are well attended, holiday weekends are not. Each volunteer should use their judgment.
Those who are not serving hospitality sometimes bring in unanticipated food. “It was a great deal!” is said. It is a very kind gesture, but to avoid a stockpile of food and leftovers, please contact me in advance. I will be able to notify volunteers on duty to plan accordingly. Perhaps we should consider donating extra nonperishable items to the pantry box. Also, unfortunately, we cannot serve any previously served food leftover from home. Thank you for understanding
I hope to hold an evening Hospitality training for newbies. Date/time TBA. I can also do on the job training if needed.
Please contact me if you have any concerns.
