Property Day, Saturday, September 9, 2023

Maintaining the church building and grounds is important to support the mission of UUCH, and you can help. This Saturday, September 9, we'll meet around 9 am and work to early afternoon, but any amount of time would be helpful. No special skills are needed for tasks such as replacing burned-out light bulbs or cleaning the courtyard and playground, but if you have some electrical experience you can help replace light fixtures. If gardening is more to your liking, the flower beds and vegetable garden need tending and some invasive shrubs need to be removed. Join us for camaraderie, fellowship, and pizza! For more information, contact the Property Committee at property@uuch.org

Starting in September, adults can meet twice a month in the Adult RE room at 12 pm for a time of discussion that stimulates the mind, heart, and soul! So grab your coffee and a snack and head over!

The schedule is as follows:

On the 2nd Sunday of every month, Gary Hitt will facilitate discussions on Major Issues of the 21st Century: Climate change. Mass migrations. Amazing, potentially disruptive advances in technology, including artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cryptocurrency. Pandemics. Terrorism. Gun violence. An aging population. Worker shortages. Water shortages. These are major issues that we will face in the 21st century. What is being done or should be done to address these issues? The discussion will be selected by attendees. Email garyhitt150@gmail.com with your suggestions. PLEASE NOTE: SEPTEMBER 10 there will be no meeting due to Gary being unavailable.

On the 4th Sunday of every month, June Norton will facilitate a discussion based on the book, Trusting Change, by Karen Hering. Whether you are living through significant personal transitions or navigating a world reshaping itself faster than ever, the book offers ten skills for living on the threshold, as well as spiritual practices and inspiration for connecting with your own inner wisdom. You do not need to read the book to attend. If you need a copy, please contact Teri Thomas, adult.re@uuch.org
