The UUCM Social Justice Committee acknowledges
Dwayne Hunn, who attends UUCM Sunday services frequently and gave a sermon early this year about "Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things." He recently returned from yet another "sweaty, smelly" Jimmy Carter Habitat project in Haiti. The Committee invites mention of others among us whose lives exemplify our UU values.

Homeless Outreach All year long, UUCM's Social Justice Committee enlists volunteers to provide meals for the Marin Street Chaplaincy dinners, also for the permanent Mill Street Shelter.
Each year, with the approach of the holiday season, we dig a little deeper into our congregational heart to find extra volunteers to provide
Sunday dinners for the Women's Winter Shelter. This year's sign-up board, with a full set of instructions, is in the foyer. Confirm with Joan Nelson 453-6221.
Thanks from the homeless women go to UUCM dinner volunteers: Carolyn B., Karen A. and irene S.
