Manatee Unitarian Universalist

The Building Bridges Coffeehouse in Bradenton kicks off its 2026-27 concert series with FL native and singer-songwriter Sarah McCulloch at a new Sunday afternoon time. Admission is a $20 donation at the door. Doors open 2:30pm. Open seating, accessible, plenty of parking, refreshments available.&nbsp;Growing up in a swampy, remote section of Florida’s Collier County, Sarah’s songwriting reflects her colorful childhood, surrounded by the Seminole Tribe and Florida pioneers and being raised in a family supported by her father’s saw mill business. Her songs are lively, funny, sad and at times introspective. And it isn’t long before audience catch on and sing right along with her. Learn more about her music at www.saramacmusic.com.
Her latest full-length album is live and recorded in March 21, 2026 at Temple Beth El in Hollywood, Florida. Backed by the red-hot White Knuckle Flyers, the new release contains 13 fan favorites plus two brand new tracks - "Cherokee Rose" and "Sure to Be a Rainbow." Sarah was recently recognized by the State of Florida's Division of Arts and Culture for her significant contribution to country music. Her music has been added to the state Folklife Program's online encyclopedia of Florida music.

Join SRQ Strong and the Florida Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Network for the return of one of our most talked-about gatherings. Voices at the Table is where we practice the kind of listening that helps us hear not just someone’s words but the whole world behind them: the people they love, the community they come from, and the history and systems that shape what they bring to the table. It’s a practice you can’t finish, because every table, every story, and every version of you is a little different. If you’ve been before, you know the feeling of walking out and hearing everyone around you a bit more clearly, and this time you’ll notice things you couldn’t have heard the first time. If you’re new, come curious, because there’s a seat with your name on it.
Don't let this one pass you by.
