 BACK TO TWO SUNDAY SERVICES--
and Welcome, Reverend Scott McNeill!

Sunday, August 7, 2016
9:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m.
Creativity InAction 
Reverend Scott McNeill
Reverend Mary Ann Macklin 

     Often, we imagine that creative necessitates active. There is a time and a place for action; and sometimes, our need to act leads us to painful consequences that could be avoided by thoughtful, intentional inaction.
     Join us as we return to our two Sunday services schedule and welcome our new Associate Minister, Rev. Scott McNeill, our new Connections Coordinator, Ann LeDuc, and our new Young Adult/ Campus Ministry Coordinator, Orion Day.
Two-Service Schedule Resumes August 7
Our regular two-Sunday-service schedule with service at 9:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. will resume on Sunday, August 7. Our choir resumes rehearsals on August 11 at 7:00 p.m., and will sing in the services on August 14.
What's Happening in Religious Education This Week?
Preschool will resume in Room 103. All other children should go to Fellowship Hall immediately after Time for All Ages. This week Daniel Reed will offer drumming as the art choice. We will have photography at both services and an additional choice of outdoors at 11:15am service.
Habitat Interfaith Build Bake Sale August 7
The Habitat Task Force is sponsoring a bake sale with fruit smoothies between services and after the second service this Sunday. Funds will support the interfaith Habitat build in Spring 2017. Cookies, brownies, breakfast breads, muffins, granola, quiche, and whole cakes will be for sale.
First Steps Class this Sunday, August 7
Are you new to the UU faith?  Join us for the First Steps class! First Steps is a 40-minute class that provides a brief introduction to Unitarian Universalism and our congregation. Offered on the first Sunday each month at 10:35am and 12:35pm in Room 110.  Free childcare is available in Room 108.  No registration is required.  Questions? Contact Ann LeDuc, Connections Coordinator at [email protected].
Please Carpool August 7 if Possible
The memorial service for Lucille Bertuccio will be held here Sunday afternoon August 7 at 2:00 p.m., and so if you could carpool and/or park off-site if you are staying for after-church meetings, that would be helpful. Thanks!
