Urgent Need for Boys Clothing
914 Cares is critically low on boys clothing, and need your help! Their greatest need is for everyday, gently-used and/or new clothing in Boys size 10 through Adult XL.
There are two ways to help:
1) Shop their boys clothing wishlist. Anything you buy from the list ships straight to their warehouse where their team and volunteers sort and pack donations. Click here to shop.
2) Drop off your gently-used donations. Use this opportunity to clean out your closets, and drop your gently-used, good-condition boys/mens clothing at their warehouse at 28 Kaysal Court, Armonk. They are open for donations 24/7!

All Ages Game Night
Sat Oct 17, 5:30 pm, Fellowship Hall
We invite newcomers, families, and friends to join us for an evening of old-fashioned, in-person fun together! Remember, we no longer ask you to donate for pizza, BUT if you’d like a slice, be sure to register at bit.ly/2026-27_CommunityGameNight_SignUp and let us know what type of pizza you like and how many of you are coming (so we'll know what to order). Note: If you are bringing young children, please also bring a game or activity they enjoy (in case we don’t have something on hand right for their age). Contact: Audra Russell.

Worship
"A Vision For Our Future" ~ Rev. Danielle Lindstrom & the CUUC Committee on Ministry
10:00am in the Sanctuary and On Zoom
Through ritual, story, and music in worship, we explore together themes that inform our faith, challenge us to go deeper, and call us to action with love at the center. We hope you find care, support, love, and community here. Each service is a little different. The one thing that never changes: it is good to be together.
To join the Sunday Worship livestream: bit.ly/CUUC-Worship or phone in (audio only): 646-876-9923. Webinar: 761 321 991, Passcode: 468468.
