OUR MINISTRIES
Sunday Seminar
Any adult or teen is welcome to attend our Sunday Seminar, a part of our Religious Exploration (RE) program.
We normally meet Sundays 9:00-10:15 am (gathering at 8:45 am) in the Holyoke Room, with its large monitor and 'owl' audio system so that others can participate by Zoom. We are respectful, funny, and enthusiastic learners. Those who attend decide on the topics and present them to the group.
After the presentation everyone has an opportunity to reflect on it. The topics are quite varied and have included UU issues about economic justice, Radical Judaism, near-death experiences, the latest in particle physics, our different notions of God, and the collapse of the American empire.
Coming Up
This Sunday, June 11th Steve Gardner will lead a conversation on Six graces for a better life.

Small Group Ministries
Small Group Ministry (SGM) is designed to foster connection and caring, to provide an avenue for personal growth, and ultimately to strengthen the fabric of our community. Each group has six to nine members and meets once or twice a month. Meetings include personal sharing and discussion of a topic designed to nurture spiritual growth. Facilitators are chosen and trained by the minister to lead the groups. Each group chooses its meeting discussion topics. Examples include gratitude, forgiveness, living with loss, music, service to others, our mothers, and living with uncertainty.
Pastoral Care Associates
The Pastoral Care Associates (PCAs) are a group of 8-10 UUCM members appointed by the minister to be "listeners" to those who need to talk or be heard.
The PCAs provide this emotional and spiritual support to people during or after a challenging phase of life including illness, caring for another in need, a separation, or difficulty coping with life's challenges.
Altho there have been little needs - our congregation is full of people caring for others - recently we have decided to re-form our Caring Committee, a group who are interested in caring for members with these physical needs. To notify us of such needs, please call Teresa Coelho, our administrator (781-631-1215)
So far our members include Jack Weltner, Trish Sulliven, Sally Scott, Sheila Cran-Barry and Christine Van Gemert.
Anyone interested in joining this new group of helpers, please contact me, Jack Weltner at 781-631-8581
