From the DRE
| |  A Kid Friendly Auction Event - The children's program at the Crab Feed was great. We hope it can happen for the UUCM Auction. Irene and I are wondering who it will be who steps up to take the lead on the children's program for the Auction. We expect about 12 children. We are hoping for Pizza, drinks, and movie night. The event is from 6 to 9:30, April 19th. If you could help we would be so appreciative. Contact Irene: intern@uumarin.org or Jef: DRE@uuMarin.org We Need Teachers -We are building our RE program. We have two teachers in each classroom most of the time. We have new families registering with RE, joining the RE community and becoming members of UUCM. Join our team of teachers. It is an enriching experience and spiritual path unto its own.
Be proactive ... give me a call.  | |

"I Did It!"
|
| |
A number of UUCM members and pledging friends have "I Did It!" stickers on their name tags, signaling that they have made their financial commitment for the 2014-15 church year. Do you?
If you've returned your paper or online financial commitment form, be sure to stop by the Gratitude & Commitment table in the church foyer during coffee hour on Sunday and pick up a sticker.
If you haven't yet made your annual financial commitment, there are three easy ways to do it:
- Complete the online form and set up automatic payments.
- Mail your financial commitment form, which you were mailed, to the church office.
- Stop by the Gratitude & Commitment table in the church foyer after the 10:30 service during March to fill out a financial commitment form or to drop off the form you filled out at home.
Questions? Visit our Gratitude & Commitment web page!
