There will be a Sunday Worship Service on December 25th at our regularly scheduled time of 10:30am. The service will be somewhat abbreviated and we will then break for a full holiday meal. Santa Claus will even be making an appearance! Because the cooks (Samantha von Zirpolo, Rev. Wendy von Zirpolo & Gini Courter) will need to know what size turkey to prepare, it would be enormously helpful to know how many people are planning on attending! Please RSVP to rev.uucm@yahoo.com. We expect to be dining around 11:15am and the meal will include roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, baked sweet potato & apples and a few other items. If you are attending and have any special dietary needs please let us know.
