Coming of Age Service, Potluck, and Budget Hearing
Save the date and please plan on attending and celebrating the transition of our youth into maturity with UU identity and self defined spirituality. Ten of your precious children will be sharing their story and credo. Potluck lunch to follow.
Dovetailed with the potluck is a discussion on the UUCM budget, known as the Budget Hearing, where we get clear answers to any questions we may have about the 2013-2014 budget. Included in this will also be some fundraising planning, brainstorming and calendaring.(annual meeting May 19)
The obvious connection between these events is the support of our children, our families, our congregation, and our dreams as Unitarian Universalists. We are creating our own future. Come Celebrate!
Childcare available with RSVP by May 9th to dre@UUMarin.org.
