Assemble Preparedness Packets with Whistles

This Sunday, October 11 & Next Sunday, October 18 | 12:30 pm (after the second service)

Vulnerable people in our community are being arrested by ICE at an alarming rate. Preparation is essential! This Sunday and next, stick around after the second service to help our UUSC team prepare whistle kits. The UUSC is also providing opportunities to "test your immigration IQ" and view a short film cycle (two films) about immigration. Don't miss it!

Volunteer at the Abundant Harvest Table!

Counts for Social Justice Challenge Hours on Sundays in October!

The Abundant Harvest Table is powered by a small group of dedicated folks, many in their 70s, who do a lot to keep it going. If you’re able, signing up is a simple way to share the load and support the people who support all of us. If you're unable to volunteer, you can also help by making a donation, which supports our homeless ministries. Click here to donate to the Harvest Table.

Cook a Meal for the Lakewood Navigation Center

Saturday, October 17 | 9 - 11 am

Sign up to prepare a meal for folks currently staying at the Lakewood Navigation Center! Whether you like to cook, or just like to chat with friends while they do most of the cooking, this is a great chance to help provide a nice meal for members of our community. After the meal preparation, there is a group going on a tour of the Lakewood Navigation Center, where they will serve the meal. You're welcome & encouraged to sign up for the tour, here!

We Need Coffee Hosts!

Sundays at the 9 or 11 am Services

Coffee can be the thing that gets us all through the Sunday. We give it to our visitors and it helps everyone feel a little more awake! So step up for your community and make them some morning coffee, especially 2nd service. If you're not sure what being a coffee host means check out the positions link below. See you on Sunday! Learn about all our welcome team positions here.
