Sunday Services – Rev. Victoria Ingram – Telling Stories

February 22 – Rev Victoria Ingram Telling Stories Since people developed language, we've been telling stories.  Stories to explain why things are the way they are, stories to explain natural phenomena, stories to entertain, stories to share a moral, stories to pass along wisdom, to name a few.  In modern times, we have a plethora of ways to get information.  Unfortunately, not all of them are as reliable about telling us the truth as they once were.  Today we look at stories and how to discern truth or truths from what we read or hear. We welcome back Rev. Victoria Ingram to UCM.  Victoria served the First Unitarian Church of Hamilton for 11 years until her retirement in 2021.

Sunday Services – Rev. Rita Capezzi – What is Radical Hospitality?

Great Hall

March 1 – What is Radical Hospitality? Rev Rita Capezzi If you are here, you must feel like you belong.  And if UCM is such a wonderful and welcoming place, why are we such a small congregation?  What are the barriers to inclusion that we might not even notice?  How might we capitalize on what we do well and amplify that to do even better, to bring even more people into a circle of care and belonging? Join Rev. Dr Rita Capezzi to explore these questions and more, through song, story, reading, and reflections.  With Service Associate Emma Willemsma. Join Rev Rita and the UCM Board after worship for an interactive workshop where we will delve into how to become a more radically hospitable congregation and why it matters. Rev. Dr Rita Capezzi is a Unitarian Universalist minister based in Buffalo, NY. Rev Rita served as UCM’s Interim Minister from August 2023 through December 2025.
