Queer Fellowship Dinner - September
Come join us in a time of Queer Fellowship! We will break bread together, share our joys and concerns, and enjoy each others company.
Habitat for Humanity Build
University UMC and other churches in the university area are collaborating on a Habitat for Humanity house-building project. As a partnering church, we are contributing $5,000 to the project, and our August and September communion altar rail offerings will assist us in raising the necessary funds. We are excited about this opportunity to be in mission and ministry together! Stay posted for more details, and let Pastor Earl know if you are interested in being a part of the building day and/or if you have any questions.
Questions? Ready to sign up to build? Contact Pastor Earl.
Tuesday Night Lights - Faith & Politics
What can we do, and how should we live as Christians in this season of political battles? Let us get together and talk about the topics of faith and politics (the politics of Jesus, church and state, democracy and Christian faith, and more) as the presidential election approaches.
This class will run through the Tuesday after the election, where we search for ways to process and find home, regardless of the outcome.

Welcome back College Students! We will begin our semester with dinner and.....something fun!
Join us for dinner and fun every Sunday night at 5:30pm.
College Ministry - Lunch & Murder Mystery

Queer Fellowship Brunch
Hosted by the UUMC Queer Council!
Join us for an intergenerational queer fellowship event to kick-off pride month. All LGBTQIA+ members and friends of UUMC are invited to this community-building event to get to know each other, share our joys and hopes for our church, and eat waffles! All ages are welcome, and there will be coffee and muffins in the library for any ally parents/guardians to hang out with one another and share in their own fellowship time!
