The shooting stars and trillium are blooming in the woods on Memorial’s hillside. A reminder of life’s cycles as spring continues to emerge.

Memorial hosted a Day of Music after worship today. There is such a delightful array of talent in our faith community!

A Day in the Life of Memorial UCC: You might be familiar with the online game Among Us. One of our teenagers has adapted it to Among Us LIVE!

That said, there were Reactor and Navigation rooms set up at church Sunday morning. Those didn’t cause much of a stir. However, when the choir arrived to practice before the service there was a kerfluffle: they were wondering why the Music Room was labeled the Weapons Room 😳

Turns out the “weapons” were poised to blast asteroids and save us all 😂😂😂 (see photo below)

Both the morning Sunday Funday youth and the McFarland United Church of Christ + Memorial Youth Group that evening engaged in the activities (many of the adults had fun too!).

A new ministry is sprouting at Memorial UCC! We remember God planted the first garden and set within it the tree of life. Touching stories are emerging as people bring in fi****ms of many different types for many different reasons. The items are being voluntarily brought in to be transformed into garden tools.

In the first hour, 20 have been dropped off and dismantled.
