This new platform is designed for all UUCC members and guests. Realm is a platform designed to keep us informed and to effectively communicate what is going on at UUCC. The design is user friendly with an eye toward specific details regarding committees, various schedules, church events, and overall general news. Please join Gene at one of the upcoming trainings to increase your proficiency and ease with this amazing tool. ******************************* The Realm Implementation Team and the Policies and Procedures Team often run into questions regarding the administration of the church that they would like to receive guidance on. The team would like to have a group of people with experience and/or interest in administration, church leadership, policy making, human resources, organizational development, or anything along those lines to help in creating an effective church administrative system. The idea is not to meet on a regular basis but to confer on issues as they arise via email or Realm chat with an occasional in-person or Zoom meeting as necessary. If you have any interest in helping the church meet this challenge, please contact Gene Heater. His contact information is in Realm or can be obtained from Jan. —– Spring Spiritual Practices Lectio Divina: Tuesdays at 11:30am, join Rev.
