Upcoming events at UUCSB & beyond

Share the Plate! September 2025

Each month we choose a local organization or community group to donate to as a congregation. This month we are asking folks to donate to the Minister’s Discretionary Fund which allows Rev. Lori to support folks in our community and the UUCSB congregation if and when they find themselves in a time of financial need.

This is an interactive calendar. Click on a highlighted square to find out more about what’s going on on that day! Or, below, you can scroll through the list of upcoming events.

Worship: Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong with Rev. Niki & Church School

Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong

Service Leader: Rev. Niki

Worship Associate: Jane P.

Music: Patrick Freeman

Patrick was born in Fort Kent, Maine in 1948. He lived with foster care from the ages 3 to 18. He had some music lessons when he was young but at about the age of 9 he did not have a piano at the house so had to discontinue the lessons. Around age 20 he had private music lessons for about a year. In his late twenties he moved to Bangor and found employment selling organs, receiving free music lessons from the owner for a year. He continued to play organs and became self-taught. Patrick graduated from UMaine in 1976 with a teaching degree. After several teaching and other jobs he settled in Portland working at Maine Medical Center for 16 years. He continued playing the organ and keyboard during those times. He retired from MMC in 2013 and started playing music in Nursing Homes throughout Southern Maine. He usually plays music from way back in early 1900 to the present day. He has started a music recording studio in his apartment which continues to be a learning process. Patrick says “I enjoy playing music. I have been playing music by ear for many years. I guess that is a God gift.”
