Events

Join us this Sunday as Megan Otto preaches on finding contentment in the gray spaces of our lives and our belief systems.  What is something you believed as a child that you don't believe anymore?

Coming in August

August Communion Rail Offering:

Habitat for Humanity Build

University UMC and University Presbyterian Church are collaborating on a Habitat for Humanity house building project. The date of the build will be later this Fall. As a partnering church, we are contributing $5,000 to the project and our August communion rail offering will assist us in raising the necessary funds. Stay posted for more details and let Pastor Teresa know if you are interested in being a part of the building day and/or if you have any questions. 

We look forward to marching in the Austin Pride Parade on August 12. This year, UUMC has purchased a spot in the parade and now it’s time for you to join us in supporting our queer community!


If you’d like to help us with our float, we’ll be decorating on August 11. All hands and volunteers are welcome. Click here to let us know you’re interested!


More details to come, we’re excited to represent the values of UUMC for all to see!

Contribution Statements

Please check your mailbox as you should be receiving your UUMC giving statement from January – June as well as a calendar of events we have lined up for August and September. Please let our Director of Finance and Operations, Cindy Reeves, know if you didn't receive your statement or have any questions. As always, thank you so much for your generous gifts!

Open Door: Books and Magazines Wanted

UUMC’s new Saturday morning library has been so popular that we are out of material. Do you have books or magazines to share with the unhoused neighbors who visit Open Door and Fig Leaf? Consider donating them! Our guests enjoy popular fiction, nonfiction, general-interest magazines, and religious publications, in English and Spanish. We also see demand for children’s books. Please refrain from offering textbooks, academic or professional journals, or anything you wouldn't consider reading yourself. Boxes of books and magazines may be left in the first-floor elevator lobby, near the bins for clothing donations. Thank you!
