"Raising the Roof Beams!"
| |  May 4th is around the corner! Come one, come all and learn all the various and engaging things going on at UUCM! This Sunday we will be sharing all of the committee work and events in need of volunteers you can plug into here at UUCM. This "Raising the Roof Beams" Committee and Event Fair will be the first of what we are hoping will be an annual event here at UUCM. So please come and hear all the committees share a bit about their work and needs, sign up to get involved in a place of interest and where you have time and skills. Please come and join in the singing with some great music as we "Raise the Roof Beams" this coming May 4th!! Rev Chip Read previous weekly articles about Raise the Roof Beams. |
| Rev. Chip's Sabbatical | | Rev. Chip will be taking 10 weeks of his 20 weeks of accrued Sabbatical time this fall, starting Oct. 1st and running through Dec 15th. Finances permitting, he plans to visit several of the 25 Unitarian churches in the Kassi hills of India, and the natural reserves in the far northeast finger above Burma, what is now called Myanmar. And he will hopefully complete the book he is working on.
Under contractual letters of agreement for all UU ministers in full fellowship with the UUA, sabbatical is accrued at the rate of one month for each year of service. Rev. Chip has chosen to only take half his accrued sabbatical during this year. As he says: "I like what I do, and I like this community I serve. I don't want to be away too long. And the weather is good in India in the fall-no monsoons and not too hot." Therefore he will be here at the opening of the Church year for a month and then be back before Christmas. During his absence, Rev. Chip has arranged for his pulpit time to be filled by several colleagues, all in final fellowship with the UUA. He has also arranged for emergency pastoral support if it is needed when he is out of reach.
