In RE this week... Curiosity is a form of caring. Being curious about what others are feeling helps us empathize with others and reminds us to be kind and helpful to them. On this day, we are curious about how others are feeling. There are a lot of feelings around Mother’s Day. We celebrate today for everyone and for caring for each other. The Nursery group will be reading "And Tango Makes Three," and the older kids will be reading "Stella Brings the Family" as we talk about curiosity and empathy. An update on Summer Camp Fundraising: At this time we're thrilled to have raised  $4468.51 . THANK YOU for your amazing support of this new adventure we are embarking on this summer! If you would like to volunteer to help at summer camp, please let Julie know. If you know a child who would like to attend, we are now accepting registrations at $50/child, and we've had multiple people generously offer to sponsor a child if cost is an issue. We're SO EXCITED for Summer Chalice Camp 2019!!!

We will discover how to mobilize by identifying the spectrum of forces for and against our goals. Rae Claire Johnson of American Promise Tampa Bay will help us understand how all this applies to a coalition of organizations in St. Pete organizing to win ranked choice voting.

UUC Membership  Audit Committee A gentle reminder that it is important to use the envelopes, found in front of your Octagon pew seats next to the hymnals, when you are putting donations into the Offering Baskets as they are being passed. This is especially important when you are giving CASH, as otherwise your pledge is not getting credited for your generosity.  So use those little white envelopes, fill out the sections needing info and your pledge will be credited. Thank you very much for your donations!    Also, MEMBERS:  a reminder that an annual pledge and your financial contribution of record keep your voting rights for our congregational meetings intact. Another very important reason to be sure your donations are credited to your pledge.

UUC Family, please keep the kitchen clean and orderly, especially now that we'll be having a catering business using our facilities. As we continue to grow and move forward, (please remember whenever you or your committee meets, you are responsible for cleaning up after your group and making sure chairs are returned to the closet, tables wiped down, dishes cleaned and put away, and trash is taken out.) We thank all of you for being a wonderful Support in helping us maintain UUC.  We Need Subs for the Office! We are looking for 5 people to help and assist when needed. If you are interested in Helping please email frontdesk@uuc.org
