In 2024, MUUC will continue to be a Zoom only congregation through August. Rev. Denise Tracy will preach for us on Zoom once a month through at least August. Other services may be shared with other congregations or may be presented live on Zoom. We are researching sites in Marquette for in person gatherings to watch these services and/or to have forums on topics of interest to UUs and UU-minded folks begining in September, although we will have an in person Annual Meeting in June. These will be listed in our This N That newsletter and on this site as they happen.
