As part of our 125th Anniversary Year events we announce Rev Charlie Ortman’s ’Belated’ Retirement Party. More than 60 UUCM’ers had signed up to travel to Providence to celebrate Rev Charlie’s retirement during the 2020 UUA General Assembly. The lockdown for Covid 19 canceled that party, but now we have invited Rev Charlie to come back to Montclair. Those who knew Rev Charlie, or those simply interested in hearing stories from one of our beloved former leaders, will gather to hear stories, ask questions and warmly welcome back one of our past ministers.

Suggested donation is $30/person.

We have also added an extra option to Be a Party Booster. For an additional $20, these funds will go to party decorations, etc. and/or the Ortman Fund. If you have already registered, please edit your registration to add this option.

Share your reflections on former UUCM Rev. Ortman

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Montclair is thrilled to welcome back former Rev. Charlie Ortman this spring as we celebrate our 125th Anniversary. As we plan to honor and reflect on his time with UUCM, we are seeking reflections from those who knew him or have thoughts to share about his legacy.

To share your reflections, please fill out our brief Google form:

While we cannot include everything we receive, we plan to comb through all contributions carefully to assemble a piece of meaning and substance.

In addition to filling out the form yourself, you’re welcome to pass this message along to anyone else who may have reflections to share.

If you have questions, please contact Jerry Fried.
