eNews for Thursday, June 3

In June we are celebrating the birthdays of Betty Clason, Nancy White, David Macleod, Karen Turnbull, Roxanne Fleer, Carol Rard and Candi Tomlinson. For the year to come, we wish them much joy, good health for body and mind, and new (ad)ventures. May it be so.

Worship Matters

We will gather online via Zoom this Sunday, June 6 to worship together with worship leader Laura McBride and Sally Van Cise, who will present “Quietude and the River.” The Zoom call starts at 10:00 for social time, and the service starts at 10:30.
 

“There was a time when it was normal to sit on the porch after dinner, by a river or a quiet lake, simply watching the sunset. You had no phone, no electronic device, and no list of “things-to-do.” There was a stillness within…Come Sunday, June 6, and re-visit these moments.

This service is dedicated to Lois Hartzler.
​
The music for the service is graciously provided by Mike Gilmore. If you like the music and want to hear more, the music of Mike Gilmore is available for streaming and download on Bandcamp.”

Minister

Rev. Drew is on study leave for the rest of June – except for a week at General Assembly and Ministry Days. Drew will be available for urgent pastoral care needs and Fellowship business, but taking a break from most regular duties.
 

Youth Religious Education

During the summer months there will not be regular RE classes. Instead, monthly activity folders are offered to any family who wants one (please contact Jakobe Neal). Also, children and families are invited to help plant and maintain the UUFCM garden (please contact Roxanne Fleer).
 

Activities

Some UUFCM activities are suspended for the summer while others continue their regular schedule – please double check the calendar and the list in the weekly eNews.
 

Save the Date!

A UUFCM picnic is being planned for Sunday, August 15.
 

COVID-19

We are working toward the goal of in-person worship services that are also available on Zoom. More details will be coming.
