IMPORTANT UPDATE ON COVID-19

Grand Traverse County is now at a "high" community COVID-19 spread risk. Affirming the recommendations of the CDC for our area, the UUCGT Board passed a requirement for all to mask while indoors. All persons attending services in-person are required to wear masks. We will also not be serving food or drink during Coffee Hour following the service, though we welcome people to attend for a time of fellowship and conversation. Children and youth are welcomed to attend services masked with their families.

Sunday, May 29th, at 10:30 AM:

At UUCGT and Online:

ON BEAUTY

In this service, we'll invite ourselves to discover

the beauty of poetry. How can our words capture

beauty and our experiences as human beings?

A service led by Rev. Alex Jensen &

MUSIC: A Few Notes...

Our own Xander Shumaker was asked to compose a choral piece for his high school choir. TC West High School will be performing it for the first time on June 1 at their Cabaret concert.

Cabaret is June 1 and 2 at 7:30. Tickets are a suggested donation of $10; best to get ahead since they often sell out!

Renée Russell, Music Director

A Note from Nancy Doughty...

I am so grateful to all of you who have given hugs, sent cards, made me smile and assisted in many ways for the Memorial Service for Bob.  In my mind you are special in your support of me and my thanks is overflowing.
