Therefore, will you please bring to church a piece of an old candle from your home this Sunday, December 14. There is a basket in the entry way labeled “Candle Bits” where you can leave your contribution.
One of our traditions at the winter holiday season is to create a candle for the intergenerational worship service the Sunday before Christmas Day, which this year is December 21. To do this, we ask that everyone bring in left-over candle bits from home which are then made into a candle representing all of us. Then, on that Sunday, the candle is lit by the oldest and the youngest member present at the worship service that day.
Therefore, will you please bring to church a piece of an old candle from your home this Sunday, December 14. There is a basket in the entry way labeled “Candle Bits” where you can leave your contribution. Our annual Holiday Tea & Treats is following the service this Sunday, December 14, 2014. If you didn't have a chance to sign up, please bring a goodie you are willing to share, or consider assisting in setting up or clean up. Our children will be joining us, so prepare for merriment and fun! Any sharing of teapots is also appreciated!
The UUFCM Worship Team has recently been streamlined and restructured to better serve our worship administration needs. As part of this process, Chris Bailey has joined the Worship Team as Congregational Representative. In this role, Chris will serve as the primary liaison for the congregation to the Worship Team. Chris is tasked with seeking feedback regarding the worship experience to assist the team in its periodic evaluation and reflection processes. While Chris will be very intentional in seeking out responses and feedback regarding various aspects of our services, he is also receptive to any unsolicited feedback you may want to share. In addition to speaking with Chris on Sunday mornings, he may be reached at 989.775.8257 or by email at baile1c@cmich.edu.
The Worship Team is comprised of Dawn Daniels, Vicki Chessin (Lay Worship Coordinator), Beth Macleod, and Chris Bailey. This administrative team meets quarterly for planning, evaluation and reflection. The Worship Team also provides oversight and support to the newly created Lay Worship Planning Team that is responsible for the planning and implementation of all UUFCM lay-led worship services. Current members of this team are Tom Moffit, Norma Bailey, Susan Powers, Janis Shinn, Ricky Courlander and Lay Worship Coordinator, Vicki Chessin. This team meets on an as-needed basis for planning and training. Our Mission Statement: Not Just a Bumper Sticker
Please join us this Saturday as we dig deeper into what it means to be part of this UU community – to commit to uphold and live out its values, mission, and covenant. What are our expectations…what do we ask of each other here? The workshop portion of the retreat will be from 9-12, to be followed by a delicious soup and bread luncheon from 12-1. Coffee, tea and nosh will be available starting at 8:45 a.m. – the workshop will start promptly at 9:00 a.m. All members and friends are invited to add their voice to this important discussion. Please notify Norma Bailey (989-560-3952 or baile1nj@cmich.edu) by Thursday, December 4, if you need childcare for the workshop. Beginning this Sunday, December 7, we will have choir rehearsals on Sunday mornings from 9:00-10:00 a.m. Please be advised that we will no longer have rehearsal on Wednesday evenings.
