Sun Nov 29 10:00am ~ “Question Box”
~ Rev. Meredith Garmon & Rev. LoraKim Joyner
The Question Box service returns! Bring your questions -- the ones that Google can't answer -- and see if Rev. Meredith and Rev. LoraKim can. (We'll be using regular Zoom -- not the usual Webinar Zoom -- so everyone will be able to see everyone who calls in with a camera on.)

~ Rev. Meredith Garmon
In this world of abundance, we are driven by scarcity. Does that seem right to you?

In my physical absence from Sunday morning worship, I hope to be nevertheless a musical presence through videos from my " A Tempo with Adam" home broadcast concerts. Besides works by Chopin, Copland, and Beethoven, are performances of personal favorites from the Spanish repertoire and works by Unitarian composers Edvard Grieg and Bela Bartok.. .

Opportunities for Giving
Because of the pandemic, we aren’t having our annual mitten tree this year, but we are still collecting NEW items for residents of local shelters, including underwear, socks, gloves, hats, toiletries, and more. We are also collecting gently USED winter clothing for our neighbors served by Grace Church's outreach program. Drop items off outside CUUC's doors, using our bins for small new items, and plastic bags for clothes. New and used items must be kept separate! Please use large white plastic bags and clearly mark "Used" or "New." Learn more about our new and used item collection here. Contact: Ray Messing (914-592-4497) |

Annual Appeal
In November we make our once-a-year appeal for financial donations to the Ecumenical Emergency Food Pantry of White Plains. Since March, the number of people served has soared and it is now estimated that one in five in our county are nutrition insecure. Learn more about our annual appeal here. Mail checks to CUUC with the memo “Food Pantry.” Or to pay online at cucwp.org, click the yellow Donate button, then "Use this donation for," select "Other," and type in the Note "Food Pantry." A small percentage of online donations go to PayPal fees; you may choose to increase your donation by a few dollars to compensate. Contact: John Cavallero (jcwpny@gmail.com)

Share the Plate for Nov: Ecumenical Food Pantry
This month we share half our non-pledge collection with the Ecumenical Emergency Food Pantry of White Plains. The Pantry was founded in 1979 by CUUC and four other congregations. Since March 2020, the Pantry has seen an emergency like never before. In addition to serving our neighbors who are poorest, the Pantry now serves folks who had been income secure until the Covid-19 economic disaster changed everything. Please join us in supporting this vital community organization. You may mail in your check with the memo "Food Pantry" or donate online at cucwp.org. Learn more about our Share the Plate collection here.
