Upcoming Sundays
August 16: Rev. Meredith Garmon
- "What Is Accountability Anyway?": Sometimes the call for "accountability" seems like a call for punishment -- because sometimes that's what it is. We are seeing, however, a growing understanding of the concept as much richer and more valuable than mere punishment.
August 23: Rev. Cindy Davidson
- TBD: Rev. Davidson was ordained at CUUC in 2019, and has served 4thUU Mohegan Lake as minister and CUUC as ministerial intern. She is a GreenFaith Fellow and Board Chair of the UU Ministry for Earth.
August 30: Rev. Meredith Garmon
- TBD: Rev. Meredith is the called minister at CUUC.
