Congregational Conversations
Over the last couple of months the Executive Committee hosted two congregational discussions to plan for our future. The meetings were well-attended and many great ideas and thoughts were discussed*.
Over the last couple of weeks, the Executive Committee reviewed the ideas brought forth during the first two conversations and we have developed a plan to move forward in the hiring process for our next minister. This plan will be presented at our next Congregational Conversation on Tuesday, November 27, 7pm, in Parish Hall.
We hope everyone attends and gives us feedback!

Unity Church Aiding Neighbors (UCAN) Helps the Red Cross
Thanks to the generosity of members and friends over the past few weeks, Unity Church has collected over $800 toward the Red Cross relief effort for people impacted by hurricane Sandy.
It is great to know that, even in tough financial times, our congregation understands that helping others is not something to be done only when it is convenient or easy! | | (Click here for more about social justice at Unity Church.) |
