Message from our Care Commitee

Summer Peters is relocating to Las Vegas to be with her family. Summer entered hospice care in April this year after ending treatment for cancer. As her health is failing, being with family is best for her.

If you would like to send a card or contact her, her address is below:

Thanks to volunteers Lynda Lamitie, Gail Williams, Melodie Bier, and Rachel Schieb for helping to clean Summer's apartment last week.

Invite Guests to Your Table

We are encouraging UUCH members and friends to participate in the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee’s (UUSC) Guest at Your Table program now through the end of December. The UUSC is a nonprofit, nonsectarian organization advancing human rights together with an international community of grassroots partners and advocates. Striving to center the voices of people most affected by injustice, UUSC creates eye-to-eye relationships with frontline grassroots movements across the world that support marginalized communities in determining their steps for the future.

Guest at Your Table is UUSC’s annual intergenerational program to raise support for and awareness about key human rights issues. Since UUSC works in more than 20 countries, with over 50 grassroots partners, there are thousands of individuals involved in and who benefit from the work that our members make possible. The Guest at Your Table program is an opportunity to celebrate grassroots partnership, support human rights, and learn about just four of these individuals—the “guests” in Guest at Your Table.

This year’s Guests are fighting for the right to seek safety in Mexico and the United States, convincing the UN’s International Court of Justice to address the human rights threatened by the climate crisis in the South Pacific, and replenishing the energy of human rights activists in eastern Europe by addressing burn-out. At this extraordinary juncture in history, we think their stories will offer inspiration and guidance on the path toward justice and liberation for all.

In the Fellowship Hall, there is a table with boxes and information about this year’s Guests. You are welcome to pick up a box and have it represent one of the UUSC Guests at your dining table. The information sheets provide a background on these individuals along with data on how your contribution can help these people.

We will keep these Guests at our table through the holidays and then return the boxes to the church in January. If you prefer, you can send donations directly to the UUSC using the envelopes on the table or via the website below:

New 6-week Covenant Group

Soul Matters for Family and Loved Ones

Have you ever wondered what to talk about with certain people? Run out of topics for those phone calls to family? Want some good prompts for conversations that aren’t just about safe topics like the weather? Are you a member of a Soul Matters group? No? Not a problem. Every month the church has access to a different topic. Some examples include generosity, mystery, etc. You may even have noticed that Rev. Jaimie has this topic integrated into her sermon. If you would like a copy of the packet that contains questions, quotes, and activities, contact Teri Thomas @ terit4u@yahoo.com.
