UUCSW Monthly Service Project

When: Sunday, December 1st, 12:00 to 12:30 pm
Where: In our very own church kitchen
What: Pack meals
|
We will be packing meals for people in a homeless shelter in Worcester. There will be jobs for all ages. We deliver 100 meals on Sunday and they are handed out the next two days. The shelter does NOT provide lunches so this is a big help for people.

|
Do you enjoy any type of needle or yarn craft? Then bring your WIP (Work in Progress) to sit and gab with other crafters while you make some progress! We provide a zero-pressure setting, and we have a great time. We welcome all skill levels.
Join us in the Parlor on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month at 6:30 pm.

Guest at Your Table sponsored by the UUSC

The UU Service Committee (UUSC) describes this program as part of the UU community culture since 1975 to strengthen connections to our shared principles and help to challenge injustice throughout the world. This year, funds will go to the UUSC in honor of women leaders from partner organizations that have taken on some of today’s greatest human rights challenges. To learn more, visit the
UUSC.org website.

ShopWithScrip cards make great holiday gifts!
|
When you purchase a gift card through ShopwithScrip, a percentage of the face value of the card goes to UUCSW. These small but significant rebates really add up - we are hoping to raise $1,000 through the holidays with this program. If you’ve set up a Scrip account, you can continue to place your order online as usual. If you don’t have an account, we have created a paper order form you can use to purchase physical gift cards by check through the holiday season. Order forms are available in the Chapel or
from the PDF linked here. Checks made out to UUCSW and your completed order form should be returned to Lisa Shumway.
We will place orders weekly through December 9th. Expect a one-week turnaround.
