Looking for Inspiration
Each week Rev. Fiona posts a spiritual practice for people to try at home. Sometimes it is an ancient practice such as meditation, others focus on the earth or universe with contemporary practices.  For the month of March, the focus is on  the element of air, we will explore air and breath through meditation and physical activities.
 
You can find the practice posted each Thursday at emptychalice.com or on the UCM facebook page.

Looking for a challenge?
Are you interested in being part of a vital and inspiring worship team?  Have you ever wondered about becoming a service leader?  Now is your chance to try! 
We are looking for individuals willing to begin in August 2018, doing 6 to 7 services a year, including one during the summer months. You need to be available Sundays as well as for bi-monthly committee meetings.    
Please express interest to Rev. Fiona or Wendy Shusterman, Worship Chair.

Personal Witness
The Rev. Fiona Heath is a good listener.  If you are struggling with a personal problem, a spiritual crisis, or just need to vent, Fiona can be your witness. She won't have the answers, or offer advice (unless you ask for it), but will sit with you as you share your story.  Having someone who hears your pain helps ease it.
Email minister@uucm.ca or text her at 905-278-5622. You can also find her on facebook.
 
We all need support in difficult times, you don't have to struggle alone.
