Delight: Our Spiritual Responsibility

Rev. Jaimie Dingus

10:45 AM, Sunday, June 11, 2023

There is no escaping the reality of suffering and oppression in our world. And there is no escaping the reality that we as humans were made for joy! Where are you sneaking some delight? Where are you finding lightness, laughter and love these days? Join us for worship, it will be delightful!

Children and Youth Education News

Preschool-5th Grade & 6th-12th Grade

As we continue to celebrate Pride month, we look to June’s theme and focus on the diversity of delight. We also question how some experiences are perceived differently and how one person’s bliss might be another person’s idea of misery. We learn and focus on the fact that even though things like cilantro, black licorice, or dipping fries into a milkshake can be polarizing, that in the end we have way more in common than we think!

Calling for Donations

Our YoUUth group room is looking for some better seating arrangements. CYRE is calling on the congregation (out of curiosity and due diligence!) to see if anyone has a large sectional they are looking to donate. We are also looking for a laptop, nothing fancy. Preferably to be able to connect to the internet to stream content.

Sanctuary Roof Beam Repair

As you may know, several of the beams that support the sanctuary roof have extensive rot as a result of being exposed to the elements for 60 years. The Property & Finance Committees, along with the Board, have been working for several months to develop a plan to repair these beams.

A Town Hall meeting was held on Sunday, May 28th, to review the current condition, the proposed repair plan, and how the repairs will be financed. If you were not able to attend this meeting, a link to the presentation is here.

We will be voting on a resolution to implement this repair plan and financing at our congregational meeting on June 11th, so everyone is encouraged to review the presentation and become familiar with the issue prior to the congregational meeting.

Please contact Paul Wieland (property@uuch.org), Bob Weed (finance@uuch.org), or Brad Korb (vice.president@uuch.org) if you have any questions regarding the beam repair plan.

A Heartfelt Thanks to AAA

We would like to thank the 5th-grade gifted and talented (GATE) students at the Academy for Academics and Arts for the food they donated to the little food pantry. They conducted a food drive for their “Emerging Innovators “ service project led by their GATE teacher, Casaundra Taylor.

Sponsored by the Social Justice Committee

Circle of Candles

The UUCH Staff lit a candle of Joy: "Happy Pride Y'all! We are so grateful for this community and the celebration we had this past Sunday."

Little Food Pantry

The food pantry is a huge success, being utilized by numerous people!

If you are able to pick a day to re-stock the pantry, please do so, using the Sign-Up Genius link below.

There are also baskets in the Fellowship Hall and Sanctuary entry foyer for food collection. The collected food will ultimately be used to fill the pantry on days not chosen on the sign-up genius.

Canned meats, soups, veggies, mac-and-cheese, bread, fruit, fresh veggies--all kinds of foods are welcome.

Thank you for being so generous. We are making a difference!
