The Unitarian Universalist Church of Manchester welcomes you to our next Sunday Service! This week we will be talking about General Assembly, our values as a UU Church, and how we as a congregation can be part of the decisions that shape our faith traditions. Join us in our basement hall afterwards for an hour of snacks, coffee, and community conversation!
Announcements
This Week in RE
This week downstairs we’ll be Paying Attention to our bodies and their wisdom within. How wise are our bodies? How do we compare to other animals? How far can we stretch as we try yoga poses; Spider, Cat, Dog and Butterfly, maybe a tree? We’ll be all relaxed and stretched out!
Looking ahead, Next Week will be Easter and there will be an Easter Egg Hunt outside, weather permitting. Bring your eagle eyes, bunny noses and your outside jacket.

A Long Talk – Anti-Racism Activation Experience
A Long Talk About The Uncomfortable Truth was developed by two Black fathers, Kyle Williams and Kamal Carter, in the wake of George Floyd’s murder in May 2020, during a moment of national reckoning. A Long Talk provides a space for conversations that people are afraid to have, and empowers the participants with knowledge and skills to interrupt problematic thinking and behaviors.
