HAPPENINGS
Potluck in Review
There was crawfish étouffée, along with other delicacies. It was a riot!
March 23 Grounds Cleanup
As you may have noticed, our garden beds are in great need of a little TLC. If you can help, please plan to stay after the service, and wear your grubbies.
We’ll order pizza for lunch, and get everything outside the building ready for our upcoming Earth Day planting event.
March 30: Visitor Sunday
To grow our loving community, we’re asking members of the congregation to bring a friend to the service. We’ll make it fun (even more so than usual), and please everyone be prepared to give our guests a big, warm welcome!
Love the Boot Week — April 5-13
UU members are encouraged to find a cleanup event that’s close to them or close to their hearts. If you don’t find one you like, you can also start your own!
