EVENTS



 POTLUCK: June 9 was Potluck Sunday.  The potluck was well attended. And what better way to extend community than by breaking bread together. Too bad we forgot to take a photo.  I guess we were too busy eating.

   The Inn Ministry Please consider buying a few items during your weekly grocery trip to donate to The Inn Ministry, and bring them to service. There is a box as you enter to the left.  Shelf-stable milk and pull top cans are good for those “on the street”. Someone donated mac & cheeses in a cup.  Those went really fast! Cash donations go to buying bus passes for those who need transportation to work, as well as for the unhoused to get out of inclement weather for a while.  The generosity of this UU fellowship has been remarkable!   The food is gratefully received.




Pride Fest: Our UU Fellowship is planning to take part in the Pride festivities on June 29.   We hoped to set up a table with activities while sharing some UU information and spirit, however  all vendor booths have been sold.  Our booth last year drew lots of visitors, so we're hoping to somehow squeeze in.   We still need volunteers to walk in the parade as we carry our UU banner.   If you are interested in helping out or in marching in the parade, contact Mary or Chris. Thanks to those who have already volunteered! 



The Gathering Discussion Group:  The Gathering Discussion Group is this Sunday, June 16.  The topic of this month is Humility.  Bring your lunch and join in the group as they open hearts and expand minds.
