Friends,

Thank you for your kind wishes this week. Kieta's procedure went well, and she has been resting comfortably at home with around-the-clock 'in-home nursing care' (aka. ME). 

I will depart for Atlanta on Sunday night to join some fabulous female colleagues for a weeklong professional development gathering. Last year, we met in Orlando and had a FABULOUS time together. I so look forward to the connection. While I'm away, we will be sure to have pastoral care coverage available - please contact the Office with any needs. 

Also, we are blessed to have Minister Blyth Barnow preaching on Sunday, April 28th, so be sure to come!

Of course, this Sunday is rapidly approaching. We will continue with our RenewALL theme...and I think our planet could use some of our attention. I hope you'll join us for the conversation - and stay for the coffee.

Until then, enjoy the sunshine, beloved!

-Alissia

Nursery care is provided each Sunday in the UCG nursery.

Below is a new Children's Church sign up for May through August!

COVID-19 update: As of May 11, 2023, both the WHO and USA ended their declarations of Covid-19 as a public health emergency. We continue to trust in the love and goodwill of this community to care for self and neighbor with health and safety in mind. As such, we continue to defer to each individual’s conscience regarding the use of masks at UCG and will maintain our ‘mask only’ seating in the Sanctuary. Should you have any questions or concerns about our practice, please contact the church office.
