Zoom Links on Compass Only.
Please note that because of the concern of “Zoom Bombers” the links and passwords of all Zoom Gatherings besides worship will be listed on Compass only. If you know anyone who isn’t getting Compass, you can direct them to the website to fill in their email to receive it. If they have done that and are still having problems receiving it, they can email
Compass@phoenixuu.org
to get the email sent to them.
Zoom Support
We have a Zoom support team to help members who are having problems with Zoom. The email address to request help is:
uucpzoomsupport@phoenixuu.org
. Send an email to this address stating your problem with what kind of device you have (i.e. what kind of smart phone, PC or Mac or Tablet). Include your name, phone number and email address. We will get back to you as soon as we can.
There have been several changes to the procedures for Zoom in the past week so this process is evolving. We will try to keep up with what is needed as it changes.

It's important for all of us in the UUCP community to stay connected.
We encourage any group that was meeting at UUCP before the closures to consider meeting again virtually.
Small groups are asked to set up regular Zoom meetings. Please contact our administrative assistant Stephanie
at
administrator@phoenixuu.org
to schedule a room
and a Zoom tutorial if you need it.
Do you have something that you’d like to lead on Zoom to help us stay connected? Please send your ideas to Reverend Christine at
minister@phoenixuu.org
. She will be working with the staff to come up with a more complete program.

Worship Next Week 4/19/20
The World Is On Fire
Rev. Christine Dance
Our earth is hurting and we've inflicted the wounds. In just a short time of pandemic isolation, we've seen how quickly the world can heal. How then, can we ever go back to thinking we can't fix our environmental issues? Join us on the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day to contemplate the wounding and healing of the earth.
Share the Plate Recipient for 4/19: The Sunrise Movement.
The Sunrise Movement is a national youth-led movement dedicated to Climate Justice. They are educating and building a movement of people to force civic and business leaders to make the changes that need to be made to keep our world livable for this and future generations.

Pastoral Care
In this difficult time, we encourage you to connect with our community and find support and comfort here.
Please refer to the UUCP Website and the
Pastoral Care Information and Requests
link to request support, or provide volunteer support.
- If you have not been contacted and wish to be included in a system of periodic check-ins, please email UUCPhelplist@gmail.com.
- By now, you should have heard from a Neighborhood connector —please make use of this opportunity and know that we have a network if we need it.
- Please let Rev. Christine know if you are showing symptoms of Covid-19 (Minister@PhoenixUU.org).
- Please contact Rev. Christine if you have lost your employment. We don’t have tons of resources, but we’d love to support you however we can.

- All schools are now teaching online. Students who have no access to laptops or wi-fi are left out. Go here for information on how you can donate unused laptops (even if they aren’t working) to help out.
- If elections are to be fair, we must have mail-in ballots. Watch this hour-long video with County Recorder Adrian Fontes about our situation in Maricopa County. Speak out on this issue! To express your views on the subject to Gov. Ducey, use this link. To add your name to Sen. Adam Schiff’s petition for universal vote-by-mail, click here.

Sharing Your CARES Funds
We have had several inquiries about people donating their $1200 checks from the government. If you are lucky enough not to need your check, we are creating ways that you can donate it to UUCP -- to the Ministerial Discretionary Fund to support those in our congregation who are struggling financially or to community partners who are struggling at this time.
