Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Blake, celebrating that each child in her class has a mentor this year!

Thank you, UUMC, for your loving support of this transformative program. Please keep us lifted in prayer this year.

The Habitat Build this past Saturday was a huge success. As normal we started the day with a blessing for the site, the workers and the homeowners.

We started the day with a slab and ended the day with walls for the house. It was super satisfying. Thanks to those who joined; Colleen, Gabe and Riley Puccio; Doreen Maxcy; Jeff Albright; Tonya Eichelberger; and Sheri Lee.

Day One of the Holy Grill was a success. A heartfelt thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers for your time and service. We are truly grateful for each of you. We look forwards to a wonderful week!

Their most recent album, Your Very Own Dream, was released in 2024. Katie Love, a longtime UUMC member, released her debut album, Time for Moving On, in January 2026. She has quickly made a name for herself in the Baton Rouge music scene and recently performed in Austin and Houston. She is currently working on her second album with a full band.
