Duffel Bags for
Foster Care Children
Our Girl Scout Troop 10507 and the UUCH Social Justice Committee are joining forces with Girl Scout Troop 10341 of North Central Alabama to fill
100 duffel bags for foster care children.
There is a box in the UUCH Fellowship Hall for collecting new item donations to fill the duffle bags. These items can be for boys or girls, ages infant to 18, and of all races.
We appreciate anything you can contribute. No donation is too small.

Upcoming Service
Sunday, August 6th, 2017
"
Confronting UncomfortableTruths"
Alice Dilbeck & Brad Korb
Our predominately white Unitarian Universalist (UU) denomination has challenged its members to recognize and confront systemic racism and white supremacy in our society, our denomination, our churches, and ourselves. For UUs who are white, it can be difficult to acknowledge white privilege, white fragility, anti-blackness, and other common white racial patterns that prevent us all from reaching racial equity.
Also this Sunday, we Share The Plate with The Rose of Sharon Soup Kitchen and Thrift Store. For more about the program, see the article below.
