Military Ministry

The Military Ministry offers community for military families who seek a more liberal spirituality and practical ways to raise children in this complex world.  There are opportunities for volunteers to moderate a Facebook group for UUs in the military and to create small group ministry for those in the military.  Please contact Lorraine Dennis, CLF Executive Director, if you are interested in these volunteer opportunities. 

Bless All Who Serve

The Unitarian Universalist Association's  meditation manual for military personnel and their families is free to those in the military, chaplains, and ministers.  Please contact Beth Murray, bmurray@clfuu.org, for a free copy.

Military Bridgebuilder Kit

For congregations who want to welcome in military families. You are welcome to read the Bridgebuilder and see if your congregation is willing to have the  difficult conversations around military service, peace and war.  Contact Lorraine Dennis for more information at ldennis@clfuu.org.
