This Sunday will be our last Sunday talking about the theme of "Expectation." Join us for our RE classes as we discuss how to break free from expectations. We will talk about how to integrate our true inner selves with a service to the world, and feel the healing power of love (a gift from our Universalist heritage). Our art project will be making masks!
We will have our first family movie night on
Friday, October 4th at 5:30 pm
. We'll be watching the new Aladdin and talking about how both September's theme of
"Expectation"
and October's theme of "
Belonging"
can be found in the movie.
Suggested donation of $4/person or $10/family
. Pizza and popcorn provided, feel free to bring a salad or sweet to share. Email Julie (
dfm@uuc.org
) with questions!
Also: Save the Date! We'll have a fall yard sale to benefit the RE programs the first weekend of November. If you have items to donate, please drop them off starting... NOW! You can leave them in the main office (and Julie will move them) or put them in the classroom across from the kitchen. If you're able to help sort/organize/price items, please let Julie know (
dfm@uuc.org
).
Wednesday, Oct 16th, 5:30pm is our next Waffles + Worship Event.
All are welcome.

Farm Fresh Catering
Congratulations are in order for our renter’s, Farm Fresh Catering. Beginning 1 October, they will add four new clients to their list of customers. In addition to providing healthy meals to the Primavera Preschool in Oldsmar, they have added Bright Beginnings Preschool in Crystal River, Largo Clearwater Daycare, Safety Harbor Montessori School, and Suncoast Waldorf School in Palm Harbor. As a result, they will be utilizing more hours in our kitchen averaging about 5 hours per day, Monday- Friday, in the early and mid-morning hours. We have recently allotted them a bit more space in chill and dry storage spaces in the kitchen to accommodate their need for more supplies. If you have any questions, contact Mark Kanuck, our Technical Representative for the Agreement we have with Farm Fresh Catering. In the meantime, congratulations to John and Vanessa!

If you haven’t already done so, please go to the Social Justice table in the Community Center .after the next couple of services to sign a petition and letters to show your support for Move to Amend’s 28
th
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The amendment establishes that “money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.” So many of the social justice efforts that we UUCers care about, including the existential threat of climate change, depend on overturning
Citizens United
and illegitimate corporate rights.
The Social Justice Council is asking for your help with this because of a request from Mr. Carey McDonald, Executive Vice President of the Unitarian Universalist Association. He has said that If he receives enough show of support from individual UUs for Move to Amend, the UUA will take that as a strong directive to more actively promote the amendment by, for example, inviting leaders of other faith and ethical communities to encourage their members to join UUs in this effort. When enough of us act together, we can reach a tipping point of millions of Americans who will insist on passage of the MTA 28
th
Amendment. Let’s flood Mr. McDonald’s office with our responses!
