 Sunday Worship Service
|
| Sunday, August 15, 10:00 AM
"Slide Show of Haiti"
Barbara Wander with Worship Associate Sally Schroeder
Barbara
Wander, a retired Marin teacher who has been volunteering in Haiti for
10 years, will share her experiences in Haiti before, during, and after
the January earthquake.
Following
the service, Barbara will display Haitian craft items for sale. They
include paintings and sculptures, masks, embroidered goods and greeting
cards - all created by Hatians. In addition, she makes "dolly pins"
(you'll have to see them to know what they are!). Prices of all items
range from $5 to $40. ALL proceeds (100%) benefit the recovery effort in
Haiti. If you think you would like to purchase an item, bring a check
or some extra cash.

Classical Chamber Music Concert
Creates Melodic Memories
|
| We had a wonderful Chamber Music Concert on August 7. The hall was
unexpectedly full (we had about 110 people.)
We took in $1604 dollars and have about $300 in expenses and about
$25-$50 in leftover supplies.
The musicians were marvelous and we hope they will return. Thank you
to all who helped especially John Blickensderfer and those who
pitched in at the last minute. A major thank you to Milton Wong,
Hans Brightbill, and Frank Lahorgue for leading their ensembles and
the rest of the musicians who made this concert possible.

Update from the Partner Church Committee
|
|  We wish to thank those who have already
contributed to the fund to help bring to Berkeley the whole family of
next year's Balazs scholar, Rev. Levente Lazar, who is also the
minister of our Partner Church in Sovata. So far we have received approximately $600. To recap briefly, when Levente applied for
the scholarship, he was told that this year it could only fund the
scholar, spouse and one child. Levente and his wife Erika have two. They felt that they could not leave one behind. We empathize with that,
and along with several other churches who are also partner churches of
the Revs. Levente and Erika, we are trying to raise enough money to bring
along the second child. The opportunity for Levente to attend the
Starr King School for the Ministry is a broadening opportunity for
him; we too will be able to meet him and learn more about his church and
members. To donate, please make your check out to UUCM and put "Balazs
Scholar" on the memo line or donate on the UUCM website.
