“Here We Go, Again!” 


The seasons are turning, the weeks are flying past, and we’re doing our best to strap in and hang on.


We’ll take a light hearted look at the cycle of life and perhaps learn a few new lessons to help us feel more in control of our destiny this year!


. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In 1959, Pete Seeger wrote the unforgettable

song, "Turn! Turn! Turn!" He took the lyrics almost verbatim from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 and added the "turn, turn, turn" to create a chorus. Seeger added a hopeful concluding line for audiences during the Cold War: "A time of peace, I swear it's not too late."

United by their love of music, our choir faithfully rehearses with Mike Davis so that they can give their best performance every time they step before an audience, whether it's our congregation or a community gathering.

UCM Hiking & Outdoor Club - First Outing

If a picture is worth 1000 words, use your imagination to see how much fun Walt Massey and his 4 happy hiking companions had at the Jackrabbit Hiking Trails Saturday the 18th. In this photo, pausing by Lake Chatuge (from left) are Walt, Mickey and Peggy Lince, Joanne Massey and Jayne Rizner.

No tired faces here. Nothing but smiles and rosy faces from invigorating exercise in the fresh mountain air. Joanne says they had so much fun, they are planning their next outing at Vogel State Park on Saturday, February 22.

Upcoming Events and Reminders

January 29 - Meal and Meditation - 4:00 at the church, then those present will decide where to eat afterwards.


January 30 - A Course in Miracles will meet 10 AM. It will be live at the church and also available via Zoom at the same time. This schedule will continue from 10 to 11:30 every week, until further notice.


February 2 - Town Hall Meeting - after the service, with a short break to allow a bit of socialization and to get a beverage and snack. Mike and the board members will discuss church finances, as well as current and upcoming projects and events. The floor will be open for a Q & A session, and to hear any questions or comments you may have. All are welcome and encouraged to participate, and your feedback is vital to the growth and future of our church.


February 20 - the Taize Connection. We will enter in silence and leave in silence. Mike will provide the music and lead us in chants and repetitive sounds that will open our minds and souls and deepen our spiritual relationship with God and our church family. There will be more information as we draw closer to the date.


REMINDERS - Let us stay mindful of our commitment to Community Outreach. We are in a committed relationship with POSITIVE PATHWAYS, and their need for assistance is ongoing. We continue to serve those in need through our donations to PENNIES FROM HEAVEN and the relief fund managed by Rev Darlene Strickland and the UNITY CHURCH OF THE BLUE RIDGE, as they continue to provide assistance to the many people whose lives are still seriously impacted by Hurricane Helene. Thank you and bless you for helping to make a difference in the lives of others.
