Huntsville Assistance Program
227 food items were recently collected and taken to the Huntsville Assistance Program for distribution.
The Social Justice Committee
has a goal to collect at least 100 items each month for the food pantry.
Please put your nonperishable food items or personal care products donations in the basket in the church foyer for the Huntsville Assistance Program.
They run low on cereal, canned fruit, mac and cheese, peanut butter, instant mashed potatoes, Hamburger Helper-type meals, and canned veggies -- but not green beans or corn.
They are always grateful for our donations. Thank you for your continued generosity!

This Adult RE class, led by Sally Locklear, is drop-in, with no experience necessary. Everyone is welcome.
We meet each Friday at 10:00 a.m. in the Adult Religious Education Room.
For further information, contact Adult RE chair Nancy Finley.

From the
Property Committee
Want to learn a new skill? We are looking for you!
We do not discriminate on any basis whatsoever -- including
tool ownership. Feel free to come in disguise!
The
Property Committee needs the occasional help keeping the lights on in the church. Literally, we need people to help change light bulbs.
Come help on one project with no long-term commitment required. Or, for those who want to work with a team, we do have a few bigger projects, such as painting Rev. Ed's office and replacing boards on the playground fort.
If you are interested in learning more, talk to Wanda Snoddy, Brad Korb, Tim Miller, or Jeanne de France. For those who are introverted, you can also
email us.

This Sunday in Children and Youth Religious Education (CYRE)
All ages will join in assembling our
Birthday in a Bag project and making birthday cards, both of which will go to a local food pantry.
Nursery care (ages 0-3) will be offered as usual.
CYRE registration is open! All families, new and returning, should register each year.
Click here to register!
* BIRTHDAY IN A BAG DRIVE *
What is one thing that all humans have in common? Birthdays! Everyone has a birthday every year. Unfortunately, some of us don't have the means to celebrate that special day. For our CYRE outreach activity, we are decorating bags and birthday cards and filling them with everything needed for a birthday party. We need your help.
We are still collecting items to go in our "Birthday in a Bag"
until this Sunday before church. These bags will be donated to a local food pantry to be given out to kids on their birthdays.
We are looking for cake mixes, frosting, paper plates, paper cups, tablecloths, 9x13 aluminum baking pans, candles, party favors, and party hats. Please put your donations in the big box labeled "Birthday in a Bag" in the Fellowship Hall. It would mean a great deal to us if you could help. We want to make sure every kid has a great birthday!
This project was created by the children and teachers in the CYRE Peace and Justice rooms.

Multigenerational Pickup Choir
Want to be part of a choir but don't have the time?
Beginning this month, the UUCH Music Program will host a "pickup" choir opportunity for all ages. Many children, youth, and adults want to express themselves through music but can't come to regular Wednesday night choir practice. The
UUCH All-Ages Pickup Choir
offers a flexible, multigenerational alternative.
This Sunday, anyone who wants can attend a short rehearsal at 9:30 a.m. in the Choir Room.
Singers ages 4 and up will run through the song a few times and then enjoy sharing the musical message with the congregation that same day.
For more information, contact
Pam Siegler, Music Director.

We hope you can join us for a relaxing afternoon with friends.

"New UU" Class Starts February 3
What does it mean to be a Unitarian Universalist? Guided by the Tapestry of Faith Curriculum, we will offer a three-part series that explores important themes in UU congregational life - our worship and theology, history, covenant and polity, faith development, social justice, and membership. This program is particularly focused on introducing newcomers to Unitarian Universalism, but those of us who have been here for a while will also be able to share and connect with others as we explore our own beliefs and how they intersect with the UU tradition. Everyone is welcome!
Mark your calendars now for the Sunday mornings of February 3, 10, and 17 for this chance to learn and share. Meet for coffee or tea at 9:00 a.m. in the Adult RE classroom; discussion starts at 9:15. Pam Korb and Nick Wilbourn will facilitate the discussion.
Contact Nancy Finley for additional information. Childcare will be provided.
