Next month’s Sunday brunch and Congregational Conversation will feature an update on the McKimm Fund initiatives. If you’ve been following along over the years, you know that this initiative was approved by the Board in late 2021 to solicit and make investments in a limited number of initiatives that further the mission, vision and strategic plan of UUCC.

Attend this session to learn more about what was funded, how they’ve proceeded, and the current status of the McKimm projects. The presentation will be made by members of the Strategic Investment Task Force (“SIT Force”), the group chartered by the Board to develop the process used and to oversee and support the funded initiatives. Members of the projects that are still in operation will be present to help answer questions.

Confronting Authoritarianism
2025-11-16 09:00 - 10:00
Speaker: Cherie Strachan, PhD, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics

History shows a familiar pattern: regimes weaken the press, universities and courts in the guise of protecting the public while amassing ever greater personal power. While some citizens are willing to trade freedom for promised security; others just feel helpless. But is that helplessness real? What power do we truly have, and what actions can drive real governmental change?

Please indicate your interest by sending an email to: Ljalbright@hotmail.com, and , your availability to gather from 10:00-11:30 on Saturday January 10. We have room for 12 participants, spots are filling!

Let's Make Some Good Trouble With the Rainbow Brigade
2026-01-16 10:30 - 13:30
hey, friends,

a few of us are organizing a bit of a “rainbow brigade” THIS FRIDAY, January 16.

Here’s the thing:

The City Club of Cleveland is platforming the leader of a known Ohio-based LGBTQIA+ hate group, the “Center for Christian Virtue.”

We are inviting friends and conspirators in EVERYONE’S PERSONAL, NOT PROFESSIONAL capacities to gather in highly visible non-violent support of the LGBTQIA+ community and in opposition of The City Club giving this hate-group a platform to speak and promote their hateful agenda.

We are inviting YOU (but not on social media, please) to join us.

Here’s the plan:

Arrive outside the front entrance to The City Club of Cleveland at 10:30am on Friday, January 16, dressed for the weather. (Rainbow wear OF COURSE welcomed!)

Paula and Alyssa will check in the folks on our RSVP list and distribute rainbow umbrellas.

We will have about 50 rainbow umbrellas available (perhaps more if needed!) so that each of us has one to HOLD HIGH.

We will peacefully install ourselves all along the sidewalk in each direction surrounding The City Club so that all passersby and arriving participants HAVE TO see our flood of solidarity and support for LGBTQIA+ people, allies, and communities–and our bright stance against hate.

We hope to remain in place throughout the forum and be there as people depart. The forum ends at 1pm, so think of our ending time as being around 1:15, 1:30pm.

Can YOU join us? Please RSVP Please RSVP using this google form: https://forms.gle/2U8xeVPWqhoydBcn8so that we can be prepared with sufficient supplies!

Let’s make some good trouble, eh?

The Divided States of America
2026-01-18 09:00 - 10:00
Speaker: Earl Leiken, Senior Fellow, Levin College of Public Affairs & Education,CSU and Lecturer, Siegal College of Lifetime Learning, CWRU; former Mayor,Shaker Heights

How Did We Get This Way?

Why has America become so deeply divided — politically, culturally, and interpersonally?

Drawing from a course he teaches at Siegal College, former Shaker Heights Mayor Earl Leiken explores the psychological, cultural, and economic forces that have driven Americans apart. This program will examine insights from multiple experts and research on the full political spectrum — from progressives to MAGA supporters — to better understand the roots of polarization. And beyond diagnosis comes the harder question: Can’t we just all get along? If so, how?

In person in Fellowship Hallor via Zoom

FaCT Distinguished Speaker Event Saturday 1/24, 3 PM
2026-01-24 15:00
Michael Mulberry pastors two small churches in Michigan, and he is an activist working with other Michiganders to shut down the Enbridge oil pipeline that runs under the Straits of Mackinac, threatening Native Americans in Michigan and the environment of virtually all the Great Lakes.

A federal district court recently decided that Michigan Governor Whitmer’s revocation of Enbridge’s right of way under the Straits cannot be enforced as the federal government has jurisdiction over right of way decisions on interstate and international pipelines like Line 5. But Line 5 is more than 72 years old and not in the best of shape. What can be done? This is going to require massive action by residents of Michigan and all around the Great Lakes.

Michael Mulberry will present the whole story from the history of the pipeline to an account of efforts to shut it down and how activists are going organize to make sure it is shut down.

Join UUs Together via Zoom on Monday January 26, 2026 7:00-8:30 to learn from PFLAG (LGBT+ People and those who love them) how we can expand our welcoming allyship in our congregations, work places, and homes.

In a time when our family and friends who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community are being bullied, denied care, and threatened to be pushed back into the closet it is important for us to grow our allyship and even possibly become super allies. This month’s presenter, Sharon Groh-Wargo PhD, Vice-President PFLAG Cleveland will share an overview of LGBTQ+ language, ideas on how to create a welcoming environment, and steps to becoming an ally. Presentation will be followed by a question and answer session including time for folks to share how each congregation has progressed further along the allyship spectrum.
