Beyond Sunday Announcements

You are our Beloved Community and we want to make sure you are safe. The deck is being repaired this week through Saturday. Please do not use the downstairs entrance.

You may use the Gallery/Office door to enter and then go down the stairs to your rooms. That door is to the left of the main glass entrance. Just follow the path. If you need a door code, please email me at jortiz@uuannapolis.org. I’m always so excited when I see one more thing that improves our church. Have a great day!

Multigenerational Choir

Come sing as a family. Come sing as an intergenerational pair. Come Sing. Prepare for one Sunday performance of two songs! Sunday 3/30, 2nd Service Two Rehearsals: Wednesday, 3/26 at 7 pm and Sunday 3/30 during Middle Hour. We will be singing Peace Like a River and We Give Thanks. Both are hymns that all UUs should know and are easy enough for children to sing. Led by Justin Cody. Register in Realm.

Board serving dinner at the Light House

Some members of your UUCA Board along with co-coordinator James Robertson made and served dinner at the Light House Homeless Prevention Shelter on Sunday March 9th. There are still spaces for your group to sign up and serve meals. Contact James Roberson.

Providing Flowers for the Sanctuary

Did you know you can honor someone or a special event by providing flowers for a Sunday service? It's the perfect way to recognize a birthday or anniversary, express gratitude, memorialize someone special, or simply beautify the sanctuary. Contact Olivia Bittner (olivia.p.bittner@gmail.com) at least three weeks in advance to reserve a specific Sunday. On the designated Sunday, bring a floral arrangement for the front of the sanctuary in advance of the Service. Thank you!
