Sunday Worship Service
|
June 3, 10:30 am: 'Transitions' Rev Chip Wright, UUCM YRUU, Linda Haumann & Dan Mansergh with Worship Associate Bev Munyon
Come join in as we 'bridge' our high school graduating youth who are stepping out of YRUU - Young Religious Unitarian Universalists - into college or some other journey. Come celebrate as they bridge into our UU young adult community. This will also be the last Sunday for our wonderful RE director of the last 8 years, Linda Haumann, who is also bridging on, moving into another chapter of her life. And last but not least our esteemed youth adviser Dan Mansergh is bridging too as he steps down from this role.

Social Concerns Items |
WELLNESS DINNERS: A Wellness Dinner was held May 15th in support of the Street Chaplaincy of Rev.Paul Gaffney. This was our first experience this year as we were sponsoring the women's shelter this winter. What an experience it was! The homeless population of Marin is burgeoning! We fed over 60 people!. It was a little like the loaves and fishes of the biblical story!
Very special thanks to: The Parks, The Vines, Roddie
Pistilli, Kristen Jensen, The Lingenfelters, Joyce Rhodes,
The Baele-Kouns, Mary Jo Beery, Carolyn Planakis, Jim
Gronvold,& Karen Spaulding! Even with these contributors we had to bring in more food!
We have one more opportunity to participate this year, Tuesday, August 21st. Mark your calendar if you wish to be a part of this very important outreach! Email [email protected] or call: 883-9676 if you wish to participate in August! ST. VINCENT'S SOUP KITCHEN: Many UUCM members have enriched their spiritual development by providing direct service to Marin's homeless community. Contributions of money, time, food and labor are important.
Marin's Interfaith Street Chaplaincy offers us a rich opportunity to connect. That's all. Just connect...for the sake of our own spiritual development. Summer dinners will be prepared FOR US--at St. Vincent's soup kitchen--by volunteers from the street community. There will be an open mike for anyone who wants to sing, recite, or otherwise perform for the gathering. So contact [email protected] (453-6221) to reserve your seat at the table. June 4, July 2, August 6, September 10, October 8. Open mike starts @ 5:30pm. Dinner is served @ 6.
If you care about an issue or cause that you want UUCM members to know about, please bring it to our attention at the Social Concerns information table at refreshment time.
