Upcoming Service
Sunday, December 30, 2018
"Fire Communion"
Amanda Schuber
A tradition in many Unitarian Universalist congregations, including ours, is a ritual to bid farewell to the old year and release what we prefer not to carry with us into the new year. At this halfway point in our church year, we recognize the celebration of the end and beginning of the calendar year.
In silence, you will be invited to commit to flame what you would like to leave behind in order to embrace that which will allow you to live as fully as you would like in 2019.

Escape
the dreary January weather, and join Gary and Barbara Hitt and others for a night of poker at the church. Beginners and experienced players are all welcome. We will start with a description of poker terms, rules, and commonly played games (no Texas Hold 'em or Strip Poker!). We will play for poker chips, not money. When we finish, the winner at each table will receive a prize, and new players will have learned an enjoyable card game. Drinks and refreshments will be provided.
This
item was sold at the Service Auction, and there are still places available for a donation of $25 each. If you would like to join in the fun, please email
Barbara Hitt

Multigenerational Pickup Choir
Want to be part of a choir but don't have the time?
Beginning in January 2019, the UUCH Music Program will host a "pickup" choir opportunity for all ages. Many children, youth, and adults want to express themselves through music but can't come to regular Wednesday night choir practice. The
UUCH All-Ages Pickup Choir
will offer a flexible, multigenerational alternative.
On the last Sunday of each month, anyone who wants can attend a short rehearsal at 9:30 a.m. in the Choir Room. Singers ages 4 and up will run through the song a few times and then enjoy sharing the musical message with the congregation that same day.
For more information, contact
Pam Siegler, Music Director.

Guest at Your Table (GAYT) is the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee's annual intergenerational program to raise support for and awareness about UUSC's work to advance human rights around the globe.
This year's theme -- Justice Across Borders -- celebrates the bravery, innovation, and reach of UUSC's grassroots partners. From the Northern Triangle of Central America, to the deserts of Mexico and Arizona, to detention centers in the United States, the road away from danger is paved with injustices. Partnering with grassroots allies along the Central American migration trail, UUSC addresses root causes, supports migrants in transit, and protects the right to seek asylum. With your support, UUSC and our partners are not only responding to extraordinary challenges of today, but also addressing root causes of injustice and building the capacity to respond to future challenges.
The GAYT brochure describes four UUSC partners who can be the guests at your table. You are encouraged to set out a box at your table to represent one of these or another guest. Boxes and brochures are available in the Fellowship Hall. The GAYT program will run through the end of the year, and we'll collect the boxes in January.
Please contact Brad Korb at 256-895-9303 or via email with any questions.

From the Property Committee
Want to learn a new skill? We are looking for you!
We do not discriminate on any basis whatsoever -- including
tool ownership. Feel free to come in disguise!
The
Property Committee needs the occasional help keeping the lights on in the church. Literally, we need people to help change light bulbs.
Come help on one project with no long-term commitment required. Or, for those who want to work with a team, we do have a few bigger projects, such as painting Rev. Ed's office and replacing boards on the playground fort.
If you are interested in learning more, talk to Wanda Snoddy, Brad Korb, Tim Miller, or Jeanne de France.
For those who are introverted, you can also
email us.

Care List
This Sunday, December 23, 2018,
at our Circle of Candles:
Torin Kyemba lit a candle of joy: I am looking forward to going to Gadsden, Alabama. Like everyone, we go on vacation, too. We go to see my dad's close friends. There are kids who are there, if you are wondering.
Andy and Miranda Durbin lit a candle of sorrow: Andy's great-uncle, Henry, in California, has a hole in his lung. They have to keep his lung inflated until the doctor can see him. Christmas for his family has pretty much been canceled.
Theresa Miller lit a candle of sorrow: My sister, Lois, with mobility issues due to an amputated leg, has had another fall, resulting in stitches. Praying for some relief for her for her myriad of health problems. It makes her feel loved to know we light candles for her.
