Appreciation from the Property Committee

Saturday, September 9 was a beautiful day for our Property Day and over 20 UUCHers came out to help spruce up the church and grounds. In just a few hours almost every task on the to-do list was completed, as well as some additional tasks. The tasks accomplished include trimming shrubs and cleaning the gutters (on the street and on the building), replacing light bulbs and a couple of light fixtures, cleaning the courtyard and playground, moving the rain barrel, clearing drainage trenches, and cleaning the baseboard in the sanctuary. Also, a first aid kit was installed in the foyer, next to the fire extinguisher. In the sanctuary, you may notice a shiny duct going to the balcony. That was installed to provide cool air to our Tech crew that manages the livestream of our services. Many thanks to all who took time out of their day to help!

New happenings in Adult Religious Education starting in September

Sunday Morning Adult RE

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.



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



It is highly encouraged that you provide your contact information to register for Adult RE. There may be changes to the schedule that will need your notification.

Questions? Need childcare in order to attend? Register at adult.re@uuch.org
