Please write a love note to share what this meant to you and your family. Send those love notes to: lovenotes@liveoakuu.org.

Question Box - Send Us Your Questions!
In June, we'll be doing our traditional "Question Box" sermon, even if it's in this untraditional "online worship" way. But Rev. Joanna & Carrie need your help! Please email a video of yourself asking your question to:
Tips for your video:
* If possible, prop your phone up on something solid, rather than have someone hold it.
* Turn your phone sideways (horizontal) to record.
* Make sure you are close enough to the mic to be heard clearly.
* Minimize background noise.
* We need room to "fade in" and "fade out" your video. So: start recording. Smile pleasantly at the camera and mentally count to 5. Ask your question. Smile pleasantly and again mentally count to 5 before moving to turn off the camera.
Questions: Just about anything! Theology, Unitarian Universalism, Live Oak, current events ... want to hear a previous Question Box sermon?
Here's the one from 2016.

H.O.P.E. Sunday
Every fourth Sunday is H.O.P.E. Sunday - Help Our People Eat!
Though we are conducting services online for a while it doesn't mean we can't still Help Our People Eat. Instead of bringing non-perishable groceries to Live Oak please consider making a cash donation to Hill Country Community Ministries. If you want to help you can go to http://hccm.org/money.php and DONATE. $5 will provide 20 meals! They will NEED this more than ever in the coming weeks/months!
Thank You, The HCCM Team

Zoom Update
The folks at Zoom have been hard at work to make Zoom more secure. They have released an update that includes some security measures. After 5/30, this update will happen automatically the first time you join a meeting. It may take a few minutes, so you should plan to join a little early. It is an option to do it ahead of time. When you login, you'll see this:
 Click on "now" and follow the instructions.

What's Happening This Week
Enriching Connections has become an even more vital part of all that we do. We want to make it as easy for you to stay connected as possible. So we encourage you to add something to your morning routine. As you sip your coffee or tea, go to this link:
http://www.liveoakuu.org/whats-happening-this-week/
It will have the most up-to-date information about connection events. Be sure and save the link! We want to enrich connections, but we are also putting safeguards in place so that we can feel safer when we gather in this way. (But if you have a friend who might want to join, feel free to privately send them the link.)
