Millburn UCC is UNCORKED!
Whether you want to learn more about wine or just enjoy an occasional glass, you’ll enjoy our new wine tasting group! Of course, anyone who isn’t from the church is welcome to join us. We’re trying to keep it as simple as possible, and this is how it works:
WHERE/WHEN -Each group will have no more than eight people (we will probably have several groups,) and couples will be considered as individuals. We’ll meet once a month at someone’s house (or the place of their choice) at 7:30 p.m.
THE WINE -Every time we’ll all just bring one bottle of wine that costs no more than $20, unless a theme calls for it. For the first event, we’ll just bring our favorite wine. Afterwards, the hosts for that month determine the wine sampled for the next month (for example, they could request a type of wine, brand of wine, or wine from a certain country.)
FORMAT OF THE EVENING- We will have a blind tasting and simple scoring (everyone bring their wine in a paper bag) for the best wine. Afterwards, we can discuss the wine brought, or not. This is basically a social event that is founded on wine.
FOOD- The person who won at the previous party will be required to bring the cheese and crackers for the party (that way nobody will win twice in a row, and the hosts don’t have to make something for the party.) For the cheese and crackers, we don’t need anything fancy, nor do we need different types of cheeses. This is just to cleanse our palates between the different wines – not considered a meal.
So, if you are interested, a sign-up sheet will be posted in Lauren Hall the entire month of August. We hope to get this up and running sometime in September.
Should you have any questions, please contact either Holly Ellis or Nanette Thorson.

Knit night
Whether you never picked up knitting needles/crochet hook, or you are advanced; all are welcome to the knit night! Knit night is held at 7:00 p.m. on the second and fourth Thursday of every month in the church’s “fireside lounge.” So bring your favorite yarn, needles or crochet hook, and join us for a relaxing night of fellowship, friends, and an enjoyable conversation.
