Join us this Sunday as guest speaker Carol Matteson Pascal, former labor negotiator and HR executive, explores the question, “When and why did ‘labor’ become merely ’employees’ and what are we called to do about it?”

REMINDER:

  2. Upcoming Events (Church events),
  3. Faith Development (children and youth oriented events),
  4. Adult Faith Development,
  5. Careers (Church positions both Staff and Volunteer opportunities), and Community Events and Information (non-church, community interest announcements).

  • Please submit announcements to administrator@uucheyenne.org.
  • Announcements on CD or hand-written/typed announcements should be delivered or mailed to the office and received by the due date.
  • If requested, your announcement will be included in the next Sunday bulletin; however, please remember that space on the printed bulletin is limited, and church events are given priority.
  • Please remember that not all members/friends have or use email.
  • If you are not receiving the weekly e-mail announcements, contact the office.

Do you need to submit an announcement for the Sunday service?

Please Note:
  • If you would like your submission to run more than one week, please include that in your email.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Dumbledore’s Army – This year all our wizards and witches, muggles and squibs (along with our entire congregation) will be joining efforts with Cheyenne’s own Ice Cream Island and other UU congregations all over the world to combat illiteracy. Dumbledore’s Army will be collecting gently used or new children’s books (especially infant board books)  to be given to families with young children, to encourage reading and to help fight the Illiteracy Horcrux. Please bring any NEW/GENTLY used books into the church and drop them in a book box by the entrances after Aug 11, 2019. Thank you so much for helping our chapter of Dumbledore’s Army fight against illiteracy! 
 
Important! Please Read!

We have been experiencing a growing issue with peanut residue in the building, especially in the library.  Please, do not bring peanut products into the building, and if your little ones enjoy their peanut butter snacks before coming, please be sure their hands are clean before they touch surfaces used by everyone.  We are seeing almost daily allergic reactions, so we ask you to please be diligent. It may be an inconvenience to you, but it can be life-threatening to those who are allergic. 
  • Please bring Finger Foods to share
  • No Peanuts/Peanut product items
  • Please come early to help set up
  • Please stay a few minutes afterward to help clean up
  • Don’t forget to take home any trays and/or leftovers
Thanks to you for making our Coffee Hour Fantastic!

Registration – Faith Development

All infants, children, youth and teacher/assistants will be signing in and out through our NEW registration system. Next week we will begin registering everyone LIVE. Watch for details!!! If your child EVER attends anything (including nursery) you will be required to fill out a registration form prior to the youth attending class. Computers are available at church to access the registration system. Please contact Mary Scherden, DFD @ 307-638-4554 x 12 or DFD@uucheyenne.org with any questions. 


Seeking Leaders to Assist with Classes – Please consider spending a Sunday with our UU youth. We’ll have Spirit Play up and running for our youth ages 3 years to 3rd grade, and our Harry Potter and the UU Curriculum for ages 4th grade – adult. Leaders and assistants sign up for one or two Sundays per month. If you are interested, contact Mary Scherden, DFD at DFD@uucheyenne.org or call 307-638-4554 x12 

 



Are you cleaning out your crafting closet?   Are you, like me, a collector of random bottles/containers that I keep thinking I will reuse, but don’t? Faith Development is seeking donations of the following:

  • Embroidery thread
  • Felt
  • Wicker baskets
  • Unique shaped containers/bottles
The shape of containers/bottles/baskets is unimportant.  We are grateful for any assistance you can provide.  Please contact Mary Scherden, or you can drop supplies off at the Administrator’s office during office hours.
UUCC Youth Groups –  If you’re interested in planning a group event for our youth, contact Mary Scherden, DFD at DFD@uucheyenne.org or call 307-638-4554 x12
The Adult Faith Development group is looking for sessions and discussion leaders for this fall. 

Do you have knowledge about a world religion or UU history that you might be interested in sharing? Is there a big idea (death, birth, transition) that you have knowledge or experience of and would be interested in facilitating a discussion session on? Is there a spiritual practice you do that you would be interested in teaching?

Sessions are scheduled for the hour after morning service beginning in September, and they are geared to adults.
If you are interested, please get in touch with Rev Hannah or Camellia (307-631-6039 or leiljames@gmail.com). 

Both of our AV (Sound and video) volunteers will be unavailable for at least 2 months starting September 8th. If you or someone you know would like to volunteer to help us in this capacity, please contact Rev. Hannah at minister@uucheyenne.org, or Tamra Mabe, our Administrator, at 638-4554 or by email at administrator@uucheyenne.org. Thanks!
