April 27: "When I Was Sinking Down" - Rev Kerry Mueller
How do we treat one another? How do we care for those suffering and the rejected? How do we live in these difficult times?
Rev. Kerry Mueller was raised as a Unitarian in northern New Jersey. She has a BA in Ancient Greek from Bryn Mawr College, an MED from Temple, MA in Classic from Cornell, an MBA from the Wharton School, and an MDiv from Wesley Theological Seminary. These degrees more or less parallel her careers as Latin teacher, railroader, and UU minister. Now retired, she and her husband, the Rev. Dave Hunter, live in nearby White Horse Village. Kerry enjoys making pottery and altered books, and reading novels.

May 11 â âThe Wisdom of Dolly Partonâ â Rev. Dan Schatz
Yes, Dolly Parton! Dolly has much to teach us about love, strength, and acceptance. On this Motherâs Day Sunday, weâll explore her profound and important message â and of course weâll sing Dolly Parton songs (including some good ones about Momma)!
The Share-the-Plate program raises money to give to local agencies which are trying to improve life for Chester County residents.
Eleven times a year, UCWC gives approximately half of the collection plate to a congregation-nominated recipient. Funds are given to small, local organizations for whom our gift is very meaningful in the continuance of their efforts.
