Meditation Group meets every Sunday before services at 9:30 AM. All are welcome.

SUNDAY, October 7, 10:30 AM – “Gratitude: What Does It Mean To You?”

As we begin our new church year, we have a new theme. What does it mean to be people who have gratitude? During this introductory service to our new topic, we’ll share what we are grateful for and how we define gratitude. Please come and participate in this service and help to get us off to a good start.

SATURDAY, October 13, 5:00 PM - “Church Around The Bonfire”

On this Saturday evening, we will gather at the McIntyre’s home, 56685 11 Mile Road, New Hudson, MI 48165 for a chili potluck, a church service around the fire, and ghost stories and marshmallows. Bring your jackets, your spooky stories and a dish to share. If the weather is inclement, we will meet at New Hope. Come and enjoy the fire and the fun!

SUNDAY, October 21, 10:30 AM - “Creating A Safe Church”

In July, a New Hope member led a service about safe church policy. The UUA and our insurance company suggest we should have policies in place to deal with situations that may create unsafe behavior or conditions in our church. What kinds of problems should we be prepared for? What policies should we create to protect New Hope and our members? This is a complicated topic we will try to understand better.  Please come share your thoughts and experiences.

SUNDAY, October 28, 10:30 AM – “VOTE”

Midterm elections are often viewed as not very important and more than 60 percent of the people do not vote in them. As Unitarian Universalists, we affirm and promote the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large. Let’s practice our Fifth UU Principle and get out the vote!
