Upcoming Discussion Services |
|
Sunday, June 25
"Transitions"
An active life is full of transitions, some planned, others come when we're least prepared. How can we manage transition and keep balance in our lives? Please come prepared to discuss how you've handled this in your life.
- Lynn Dolinger, Discussion Leader
Sunday, July 02 — ZOOM ONLY
UUA General Assembly Worship Service -
"Ever Willing: Becoming the People Our World Needs"
The pandemic has wrought change and created uncertainty for institutions, like our Unitarian Universalist congregations, and our wider world. Who and what are we becoming, individually and collectively? Our GA Sunday service explores these themes as we gather in community to celebrate the best of who we UUs are.
- Rev. Manish Mishra-Marzetti, Senior Minister of the First UU Congregation of Ann Arbor, MI — Key Speaker

We are striving to have as many smiling faces in our new directory as possible.
We have captured a few after Sunday services, and some have been forwarded to us via email ( dabiehler@aol.com). We are pushing to complete the directory for fall distribution. David Biehler will be at many of the summer services and will have his camera, so wear your finest garb (just kidding).
There are two more options: We have added a link on the web site where you can upload your most flattering portrait taken within the past five years (more kidding). Or, the PROC Committee will come to your home, bring a libation, and take your picture. Sounds like an offer you can’t refuse? Just drop a note to David at dabiehler@aol.com to schedule this last option.
Seriously, please check out our web site ( https://www.uuchesterriver.org) and the links to "Photo Upload" and send us your photo. The directory has proven to be an invaluable tool in keeping UUCR in touch with one another. The individual pictures add such a warm touch.

Please Use Front Door if Able |
|
We finally found an electrician to permanently wire in the automatic door opener. The extension cord has been removed.
This brings up an important point. As you know, when activated, the door stays open for a period of time to allow a person of need to enter. Of course, when the door is open, it also allows A/C and, in the winter heat, to escape. This is of little concern when only used by those who need it, but it also happens when the rest of us use this door. With this in mind, we are requesting that you use the front door for Sunday service whenever possible. This will minimize the loss of A/C this summer and heat this coming winter.
Many thanks for your cooperation.
For B&G,
Jim Lavin
