HAPPENINGS
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
This is a reminder of our upcoming outreach event.
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!
Inn Ministry
Funds from the grant for the Inn Ministry have dried up. This coming Tuesday, the 25th, will be the last food delivery by Jim and Janet. They’re desperately hoping other groups will step up to continue this work. Different organizations could handle different aspects.
Jim and Janet are working with other groups to plan for this as a sustained effort. Volunteers will be needed to implement whatever they come up with.
