Sunday Worship Service 
|
May 25 2014: "Amazing Grace!"
Rev. Chip Wright, with Sue Fleckles, Worship Associate
"We give thanks for this special day" is the first line in one of our hymns. I love that line because it reminds me of the grace of each day and how grateful I am for it.

| Pastoral Care | |  Thanks to all of you who have been contributing with cards to use for our members to celebrate or to cheer them. We are in need of more "Get Well" and "Thinking of You" type cards. If you have some in your desk or drawer, we would surely appreciate them to cheer up one of our own. Just drop the cards in the workroom in the Pastoral Care mail box and pat yourself on the back for helping us out! |

Social Justice Homeless announcement
| |  Last Thursday night Joan Nelson attended the Marin Organizing Committee (MOC) accountability session with District 1 supervisor candidates Damon Connolly and Susan Adams. Joan, who has "slogged through" many MOC events, reports that large groups from a dozen or so Marin churches show up at the accountability sessions to indicate support for a permanent homeless shelter. Please join Joan the next time she extends an invitation.

| General Assembly Online | |  General Assembly June 25-29, Providence, RI General Assembly (GA) is the annual meeting of our Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Watching from your computer, iPad, iPhone etc. is an excellent way to experience GA without going there. It is not too late for someone to volunteer to set up watching events from UUCM. Contact the office to arrange space.
Events in the Plenary Hall are streamed live, and posted for viewing afterwards. You can watch from your home or congregation.
What You Can Watch and When
Generally, streamed events include:
- Opening Celebration
- All Plenary Sessions
- Morning Worship in the Plenary Hall, including the Sunday Morning Worship
- Candidates Forum (in years with contested elections)
- Service of the Living Tradition
- Synergy Bridging Service
- Ware Lecture
- Closing Ceremony
Video will be posted at least 15 minutes, and sometimes as much as several hours, after each live-streamed event (as quickly as we can process them). You can watch these any time.
Closed captions and transcripts will be available in mid-July.
More info.
