Where Can I Find The Members and Friends Directory?

Located on the website in the Members Section, or at this link: https://uucgt.org/uucgt-members-only/. Please check your information in the directory to make sure it is complete and correct. If you still need the password, reach out to our Office.

As Paul Harvey use to say: Here is the rest of the story:

The electronic directory we have was not created from a database. An actual document was created,

which means whenever one tries to add or take out a person’s info, it will/can affect the format in the

rest of the document. The word version of the document could not be found, so we had to take the PDF

version and convert it, which can/does add errors.

We are looking at creating a database from some software that we are currently using. Breeze is an

Easy Web-Based Church Management Software for Small & Mid-Sized Churches. So in the future,

updating the directory should be a lot easier and timelier.

Putting Faith Into Action

As Unitarian Universalists and as a congregation, we affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person. We put this into practice by meeting our unhoused neighbors and those who are different from ourselves face to face.

UUCGT is still greatly looking for volunteers for our shift at Safe Harbor this year. Please consider getting involved and serving those who are most at the margins in our wider community.

What's Involved?

Rich Faller, Betsy Wacker, and Katie Grier are hosting a few Q&A sessions following the Sunday Services on Oct. 9th and Oct. 16th over Zoom. You're welcome to attend and bring any questions at this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87337534390?pwd=TzhlYkF1VXpvMkF0T2w3MEoxMmVodz09.

Can't make the Q&A sessions? See this video for a recording of a prior presentation on Safe Harbor: https://youtu.be/-UN0yfmQ08E.

Donate to Safe Harbor

We need donations of kitchen supplies and snacks to support our effort at safe harbor as well. Drop off for the food donations from October 23rd to November 3rd in the church vestibule. Here is the our website where you can indicate your donation:

Soul Matters / Creativity Matters 2022-23

Wondering about our Creativity Matters group?

Creativity Matters is new to UUCGT this year and explores the same monthly themes as Soul Matters but through creative expression in the form of a creative journal and project prompts. 

Choose movement, writing, art, collage, film/photography, music, fiber arts, or whatever modality speaks to you. 

Participants share stories about their experiences engaging each theme’s questions and projects with their group using the same deep and disciplined listening process as the regular Soul Matters group.

Although Soul Matters / Creativity Matters groups are starting to get underway, there is still plenty of time for you to join one!

See the Thursday 9/8 email from UUCGT for more information about the nature and purpose of our Soul Matters / Creativity Matters groups (as well as links to copies of the Participant guide and the Soul Matters and Creativity packets on our September theme of Belonging).
