Sunday Worship Service 10:30 am

May 31: "Feet, Eyes, Heart (Cry)"
Kevin Mann and Rev. Mary McKinnon Ganz with Rodney Gothelf, Worship Associate
Eight members of the Faithful Fools Street Ministry recently returned from a week long retreat on the streets of San Francisco, sleeping in doorways and standing in food lines the way many of our Tenderloin neighbors do. Starr King student Kevin Mann and Rev. Mary McKinnon Ganz share some of what they learned and experienced during this week full of joy and sorrow.
The Faithful Fools have been a presence in the Tenderloin since they were founded in 1998 by a Unitarian Universalist minister and a Franciscan sister. We invite our neighbors in for arts and education programs, and we invite students in to learn our way of walking through a neighborhood that many are warned away from. We venture forth from our Hyde Street home to walk with others who need accompaniment to make the life changes they are yearning for, and to raise our voices on behalf of the City's poorest residents, under increasing pressure in a boom time economy. We invite you to walk with us.
Kevin Alan Mann is a Community Advocacy Intern with Faithful Fools Street Ministry.

You do not have to commit to the entire time. Please take a look at the list and pick a task or two that you would enjoy doing. There will be a potluck lunch - so bring something to share and UUCM will provide fruit and ice cream sundae makings. We want to enjoy our building and we want to provide an attractive place for rentals to generate income. Most of the jobs on the list are not hard. In addition some tools and expert advice will be available. Bring your work clothes. Please email Thomas with questions and to let me know that you can help. In faith much is possible. Thomas |

Pastoral Care

Our committee is in need of cards for our members in time of crisis or celebration. In particular, for those who are ill or for the families who have lost a loved one. If you are receiving or keeping such cards, especially "Get Well" or "Sympathy cards"; donating them to Pastoral Care would be most appreciated. Put them in the Pastoral Care mailbox in the workroom. Thanks and blessings to you.
