…is cancelled for January 27. The next orientation is on Sunday, February 24. This orientation is geared to newcomers, visitors, and those seeking to learn more about Unitarian Universalism and this UU fellowship. It is offered every month on the last Sunday (following worship) at 12:00 p.m. Sessions run approximately ninety minutes. For more info or to registe, contact: Laura McBride (989.772.5512; Lmcbride010@gmail.com) or Gisela Moffit (989.772.1602; gbmoffit@gmail.com)
On Saturday, January 26, we will have our annual all-congregation retreat, starting with a hot breakfast served at 8:30 and the interactive retreat following from 9-12. Because we are a self-governing congregation and because we will be making decisions about our direction forward after Dawn’s departure on January 31, it is very important that all voices be heard and that every vote counted. All members and friends will be contacted directly by a Board member to answer any questions you might have and to get your RSVP. Be sure to answer in the affirmative, and see you there!
“The Ministry of Presence – A Review of Lay Pastoral Caregiving”
Following our worship service this coming Sunday – once folks have made a trip to the social hall for coffee & treats – all those interested are invited to gather back in the sanctuary for a presentation and group discussion led by our minister on the issue of lay pastoral caregiving. Many of us have questions and concerns about how we will manage this area of ministry during the transition period once Dawn has left her position here. So please come prepared with a listening heart and mind as well as any questions you may have as we explore together this essential aspect of congregational life. The next two Sundays, January 13 and 20, will be the last opportunities to get your photo taken after church for the new directory. If you do not want to have your picture taken, just let us know. If you want to submit one of your own, please email it directly to our Administrative Assistant. Deadline for submissions are January 30.
We are in the process of updating the Directory - which is a time-consuming and expensive undertaking, especially this year as we will add photos for the first time (see photo information below) - so we want the information to be current. Please help us by checking the online directory to see if your entry is still correct. The directory is password protected - it is the same as last year, but instead of 18, it is 19 at the end. Did you have a new postal or email address, a new phone number, a new spouse or child? If so, contact Gisela Moffit ASAP. Thanks!
