Calendar

JANUARY 2024 UPDATE: As many are aware, there has been an ongoing family crisis that has Rev. “Twinkle” Marie Manning having to postpone many of her offerings for the foreseeable future as she needs to focus on healing from injuries. Additionally the driveway of her Rockwood home-based ministry has washed out and has rendered it impassable, again for the foreseeable future. Please send Twinkle and her son and their family prayers during this challenging time and please be sure to visit www.TwinklesPlace.org for the most current updates. As well, you can see Rev.Manning in-person and online two Sundays per month at the Universalist Unitarian Church of Waterville, Maine. For more information, visit: uucwaterville.com
