MMUUF is a lay-led fellowship, meaning we don’t have a full or even part-time minister on staff. This means the majority of the work of making MMUUF run smoothly is done by members volunteering on our committees. For many of us, our work on our committees is as much a part of our spiritual practice and growth as attending Sunday Services.

Brief descriptions of each committee are available on their corresponding pages, listed to the left. If you are interested in joining a committee, contact us at the addresses provided. Better yet, visit the Calendar page, find a time we’re meeting, and join us. We’d love to see you, hear your concerns and ideas, and if you’d like, you can see how you might contribute to what makes MMUUF us.

The MMUUF Steering Committee (SC) is responsible to manage finances, oversee day-to-day operations, and perform long range planning for the Fellowship. The SC supports and guides each operational committee (Sunday Services Committee, Religious Education Committee, Building Committee, Membership Committee, etc.) by coordinating overall goals and communications. The Steering Committee consists of the five officers – President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Member at Large. Officers are elected to one year terms by Members of the Fellowship at the Annual Meeting, held in June. The Steering Committee generally meets monthly throughout the year.

Upcoming service

Living Traditions – Artistic and Literary Expression and Indigenous American Worldviews

Heath Fuller April 28 - 9:30 am

This talk will provide a very brief introduction to some of the artistic and literary traditions of Turtle Island (Indigenous America). Both visual and literary forms of expression have been, and continue to be, important vessels for Indigenous worldviews. Spending time with, and centering, these perspectives is valuable for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which is that these are the traditions that have known and interpreted these lands and waters for thousands of years. We will learn a bit about the history of colonization, the attempted genocide of Indigenous peoples, and the clear attempt to destroy traditional lifeways and worldviews. That will be followed by a brief overview of cultural preservation, survivance, and the ongoing living artistic and literary traditions that carry these cultural perspectives into the modern world. A few contemporary artists and writers will be introduced, and resources will be provided for further research and learning.

Heath was born and raised in Vermont but travelled and lived in many places before returning home. Heath holds a BFA in Theatre and Religious Studies from New York University and an MA in Religious Studies and Art History from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA. They have academic experience in Religious Studies, Art History, Feminist Art History, Cultural Anthropology, Theatre, and Literature. Heath is committed to the study of meaning making systems and the artistic and material practices and cultures of all peoples. They believe that the study of these elements of culture can help us to understand and care for each other, leading to more profound understanding, empathy, and compassion between individuals, communities, and cultures. Heath is now grateful to live with their amazing family on a rich and vibrant part of the land that sweeps up the side of Mt Mansfield.
