Join us for worship this Sunday as we explore what it means to begin again as a community. As our Jewish friends and neighbors prepare to mark Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and the Days of Awe, culminating in Yom Kippur, we will find wisdom in Jewish teachings about how to begin again after we’ve let each other down. All are welcome!
Our Classes This Week are as follows:
Library
Title: Board Q & A
Description: Come talk with the Board about our recent letter on updated financial policies and procedures, or any other questions or comments you might have about governance of our church. If time allows, we will also share our goals for the year.
Sanctuary
Title: Revisiting the UUA Empowerment Controversy
Join Rev. Hannah to learn more about how the UUA has struggled with race and racism in its history, and how that history impacts our faith movement today.
Social Hall
Title: Zen Stories
Gene Heater will lead this session exploring key points of Buddhism through reading and discussion of Zen stories.

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.

Registration – Faith Development
2019-20 Faith Development Registration is open now! All youth ages 6 months to 18+ need to be registered with our Faith Development Department to attend classes. Please signup right here online at https://tinyurl.com/UUCC2019FDRegistration
LOOK WHAT UUCC Sunday Faith Development classes have for youth!
Spirit Play ages (3yrs – 3rd grade) – Spirit Play is a Montessori-based learning/classroom model developed to foster exploration in our youngest youth.
Harry and UU (3rd grade – adult) – Get ready for some fun as we join Dumbledore’s Army and fight Horcruxes all year long! It’s going to be a blast… wait till you see our Harry Potter classroom!!! Come join the fun!
Families of 3rd graders – The Faith Development team learned that we have lots of 3rd grade youth who really would like to have a choice of what class they attend this year. Since we’re starting off our very first Spirit Play classroom, we’d love to have the youth attend in Spirit Play, but we realize the excitement around the Harry Potter curriculum is overwhelming great. If your 3rd grader would like to attend the Harry and UU class, they are welcome to check them out. Our 3rd grade youth will have the choice of attending either the classrooms this year.
Have fun and find your inner wizard if you’d like! OR come hang our with the younger crowd. We’ll explore all kinds of faith based UU stories and traditions through our Spirit Play curriculum. More about each curriculum can be found here.
