eNews for Thursday, July 18

Lights for Liberty Vigil 

Seventy-four people from a number of faiths gathered together at the UUFCM on Friday, July 12, joining with thousands of Americans across the country to protest against the inhumane actions of our government toward the refugees at the southern border and in solidarity with the immigrants who have chosen to come here, whether out of economic necessity or from fear for their lives in their homeland. Several people shared their thoughts and we sang in celebration of our unified beliefs about how we should treat one another in our country.

Worship Matters

Our worship services in July and August are different this summer, more interactive and intimate, giving us a chance to get to know one another better. After the lighting of the chalice and honoring our joys and concerns, each week, in small random groups, we engage in discussion of a topic announced in advance – here in the e-News, in the order of service and on our website. After the discussion time, the services close with a song and a closing benediction.

Our discussion topic for this coming Sunday, July 21, will be “What brings you joy?” Come join with us as we get to know one another better as we worship together in this summer format.
 

Upcoming Services - Summer Worship Series

July 28: Your experience with life obstacles?
August 4: Your most important social justice issue?
August 11: What does it mean to live a good life?
August 18: What do you think happens when you die?
August 25: What would you like your epitaph to be?
 

Special Offering Collection - Sunday, July 21

This Sunday a special plate collection will be taken to support the work of the Goodrow Fund. The Goodrow Fund is an independent 501 (c) 3 charitable organization and a United Way affiliate agency partner. Its purpose is to provide emergency aid, including transportation, shelter, clothing, medicine, gasoline or other forms of assistance to residents of Isabella County whose needs are not met or fulfilled by other community resources. Checks for this fund should be made out to the Goodrow Fund.

Community Mural Painting - July 28

On the last Sunday of this month, the RE team invites all children and congregation members to join us in the fellowship hall after service to complete a community mural. This mural will be an enlarged outline of one of Burnie (Auburna) Bonnell's art pieces with the colors and patterns filled in by the rest of us. Some of Burnie's other paintings are hanging in the green room, and we hope to add another that is inspired by her art and completed by her UUFCM family. You don't have to be a master artist to contribute to this project, and we want to get as many people involved as possible! If you have any questions, feel free to contact Kendra Peffers at re.uufcm@gmail.com.

Our Filled Specialty Sundays!

Thanks to our amazing volunteers, all of our Specialty Sundays have been filled! Thank you to everyone who signed up to help entertain and supervise the children. We are sure there will be enjoyment all around!
 

Treats for Social Hour Desired (Needed)

Even though our summer services will provide a different format, some things won’t change. Coffee hour with munchies is written in stone. Please consider bringing something (cookies, crackers, fruit, cheese, gluten free treat, etc. No nuts please) for one of the upcoming Sundays in July and August.
There is a sign-up sheet in the fellowship hall if you want to let us know in advance, but it is not necessary - if you want to share your delicious goodies, don't hesitate to bring them!
 

Fellowship Life Meeting - July 21

On the third Sunday of every month, the UUFCM Board holds a brief Fellowship Life meeting immediately after service to update the congregation on current happenings, plans and/or concerns within the congregation. The intention is for the meetings to be kept brief; the hope is for extended conversation to take place following the meeting, during the coffee hour time.

Our Growing Garden

The UU Youth Garden is still bursting at the seams with growing veggies! Our cucumbers are looking great, with beans, kale, chives, and tomatoes coming in nicely as well... it must be all the care our youth and volunteers are putting in!

Calendar Updates

UUFCM Book Club is on haitus until September.
 

Lay Pastoral Care

During our transition, we will offer Lay Pastoral Care to anyone who is going through a difficult time. Gisela Moffit heads the Arms Around team, which provides transportation to doctor appointments, cards/emails/phone calls, preparing and delivering food for those recuperating. Carolyn Hancock will provide lay pastoral care for those who are hurting and need to talk to a caring person one-on-one. Contact Carolyn at 517-881-6006 for an appointment.
