LUNCH BUNCH:
After zoom service on Bastille Day, some members of the congregation and friends met for lunch at La Madeline to enjoy fellowship and commerate our French heritage.
After this Sunday's zoom service, you can join the Lunch Bunch at El Paso on Pinhook.


POTLUCK:   If all goes well with the church building,  next Potluck Lunch will be July 28.   Since it's French-American Heritage month, why not consider a French based dish?


   THE INN MINISTRY: Please consider buying a few items during your weekly grocery trip to donate to The Inn Ministry. Andre Guirard, at 523 Rooservelt St, has generously donated his front porch as a drop-off point.  Shelf-stable milk and pull top cans are good for those “on the road".  Instant grits is a very popular item.  The generosity of this UU fellowship has been remarkable!   The food and other items are gratefully received. Andre will see that the items get delivered to Janet & Jim before Tuesday.

DISCUSSION GROUP:  Due to problems with the building, The Gathering discussion group has been cancelled this month.
