Safe Space for Children and Youth
For the safety and enjoyment of our all-ages community, parents/guardians are asked to supervise children and youth in the church facility and grounds when they are not in their planned RE activity.
Let's Fill the Food Basket!
foodbasket
Thanks to your generous donations, we collected 117 items in June for the HAP Pantry!
Your Social Justice Committee asks that we bring non-perishable food and personal hygiene items for the food basket this Sunday, to be donated to the Huntsville Assistance Program. (Baskets are located in the Foyer and in the Fellowship Hall.)
Our Goal: 100 Food Items per month!
So please check your pantry, and/or pick up an extra item on your next shopping trip. Suggested donations: macaroni and cheese, pasta and sauce, dry beans and rice, boxes of cereal, bars of soap, canned meat, and peanut butter!
Also toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, sanitary napkins and tampons, shampoo and conditioner...you get the idea!
Thanks in advance!

"Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?"
The Reverend Denise Gyauch

When we gather in Unitarian Universalist congregations, we recognize pretty quickly that there is no way to give a description of the typical Unitarian Universalist. We come to our gatherings along so many different paths, bringing our many individual stories and heading off in many different directions every time we leave each other's company. Given this, is it possible to find a coherent way to describe Unitarian Universalism, broadly speaking? The Six Sources of Unitarian Universalism (as outlined by our association's bylaws) are one way that we build an account of who we are (and who we hope to become) as a people while also recognizing and honoring our diversities. 
This Sunday in Children and Youth Religious Education
