Watch a Video about Unitarian Universalism!

If you would like to learn more about Unitarian Universalism, you may enjoy watching our new video.

In "Voices of a Liberal Faith," members and ministers share their thoughts on worship and fellowship, explain the goals of religious education, explore the historic roots of our religion, and celebrate the spirit of social justice that inspires our faith.


Up-Coming Services at UUCGT

Sunday, May 18 — ONE SERVICE ONLY at 10:00 AM
(We move to our summer schedule—one service only at 10 AM.)
“Covenant: ‘Cross my Heart...’“
Rev. Chip; Vocal Ensemble; UU Orchestra
Is a covenant different from a promise? Do either have the strength to compel moral action?

New Member Sunday
UUCGT Annual Meeting following the service

Sunday, May 25 — ONE SERVICE ONLY at 10:00 AM
“Returning Veterans”
John Schneider
Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan need radically different care than veterans of previous wars. What is necessary and how can we help?

Sunday, June 1 — ONE SERVICE ONLY at 10:00 AM
"Native Americans, Treaties and Spirit"
Helen Tanner
Helen Tanner, Senior Research Fellow at Chicago’s Newberry Library, whose Atlas of Great Lakes Indian History has been called “a quantum leap forward in the study and understanding of Indian history,” will speak on “the blessings of balance—an Indian viewpoint.” Dr. Tanner is a recognized authority on Indian treaties and has often testified in cases presented before the Indian Claims Commission. She also serves as a historical consultant in other cases of tribal litigation. It wasn’t until after the Civil War that Northern Michigan Indians began to be affected by increasing numbers of white settlers. Adverse effects of the influx of whites in the mid-1800s and their repercussions exist today. You are invited to remain after the service for a discussion of her topic.

 

What's Going On at UUCGT

Buddhist Sitting Group: Silent meditation, Sunday, May 4, at 5:00pm. An optional half-hour discussion follows from 6-6:30pm. Beginners welcome! Facilitated by Fleda Brown.

spirit in the bone: Drumming/Percussion Circle on Tuesday, May 6, from 7:00-8:15pm. . No experience necessary. Join us for an intimate drum circle, using any of the various percussion instruments we have, or your own instruments. We'll begin with some explorations of the sounds at our fingertips and a chance to tune our listening ear, then we'll save a good segment of time to see where our hearts take us. For more information contact Mary Van Valin, Marilyn Madison or Rev. Kevin Tarsa.

Board Meeting: Next Tuesday, May 6, at 7:00pm. This meeting has been moved from the usual 2nd Tuesday, because President Joan Sheard will be out of town on the 13th. All are welcome.
