Building and Grounds Work Day — 14 November 2020

Please join us this Saturday (14 November 2020) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our monthly building and grounds work day.

We have been pretty good at working safely, wearing our masks, and taking care of our physical church home until we can meet together in person again.

Wear a mask, of course.  Also, bring your own snacks and coffee because — sadly — we cannot safely share any communal food.

We can still get some tasks done — inside and out — wave at each other or elbow-bump hello, and safely engage in a tiny slice of normalcy in this weird time.

You might even get some help from Karmen and Henry.

Hope to see you there!

Online Adult Religious Education — 8 November 2020

Please join us on Sunday (8 November 2020) at 9:00 AM for our adult religious education class.  We will be meeting via Zoom.

Join us as we explore the history of our seven Unitarian Universalist principles and the process by which we will eventually add the eighth principle.

Our goal between 8 November 2020 and the 13 December 2020 (the date of our congregational meeting) is to prepare our congregation to ratify the eighth principle at the local congregational level.

In these Sunday morning adult religious education sessions, we’ll explore the ways we will embrace the eighth principle and live it as a congregation.
