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.

Upcoming Service
Sunday, August 13th, 2017
Amanda Schuber
What could the world look like if we channeled our creative energy and talents towards the great problems that plague our communities? Imagine a world where, instead of asking children what they want to be when they grow up, we dare to ask them what problems will they solve. Join our own Amanda Schuber, Worship Chair, this Sunday to explore a world fueled and enriched by our dreams.

Care List
This Sunday, August 6th, 2017, at our Circle of Candles:
Amanda Schuber and Wanda Snoddy, a candle of joy: The final step to complete the adoption of Addie and Brayden by Wanda was finished at the end of July. This is a huge step that allows us to be legally protected as a family. We also got our first letter from Samantha in Air Force boot camp! She is doing well and is thankful for the sweet letters she has received. Please keep sending her encouragement.
Fran Alexander and daughter Michele, a candle of joy: We would love for our church family to meet Sweet Baby James on his first day at church.
Katelin, a candle of joy: Seeing my best friend in her new home. Her three-year-old wanted to sleep in the bed with me with her little arm thrown over my back. Nothing was more sweet and selfless. Truly a joy when a child loves and cares.
Abi Nielsen, a candle of joy and a candle of sorrow: I get to spend a few days with my friend LaDawn. My mom, April, is in the hospital.
