Church Storage, Organization, and Cleanup
We are taking stock of our many stored items scattered throughout our church building and making efforts to identify, organize, and clear out spaces for new and exciting staff and programming. If you or your committee or group has items stored in the church, please contact Justin Wilson, Congregational Life Coordinator (conglife@uuroc.org), so we may work with you on this housekeeping project. We want to make sure we are keeping essentials safely stored in an organized way and being respectful of our congregation’s contributions, while also donating or discarding accumulated items from over the years that no longer serve us. This is also a good time to review your committees’ needs and check those mailboxes and materials under the mailbox table in the Volunteer Office!
Tuesday, July 28 | Drop-In Discussion: Open Topic
Let’s have an open topic discussion tonight. Open topic evenings have often been unexpectedly interesting and even encouraging. Let’s find ways to encourage one another, if nothing else. John Lukes will moderate our discussion. We meet via Zoom on Tuesdays from 6:30-7:30pm. Look on the First Universalist homepage for details and a link, or click the Zoom meeting link in this blurb title!
Thursday, July 30 | Homeless Outreach Team: Annual Ice Cream Social
The Homeless Outreach Team is sponsoring its annual Ice Cream Social for unhoused people at St Joseph's Park on July 30 at 11am. Additional food, clothing, and access to multiple service agencies will be provided. Please see or contact Bill Schubmehl or Elizabeth Osta if you would like to volunteer.
Tuesday, August 4 | Fellowship Club
We invite you all to our newest gathering! No need to RSVP. No expectation to show up every time. No pressure to explain if you are late or leave early. You are always welcome. Come as you are. There is a place for you here. Coffee provided, and feel free to bring other refreshments you like. Show up, socialize, play a board game—or don't! We hope to see you there: first Tuesdays, 12-1:30pm in the Library/Clara Barton Lounge.
Summer Adventure Program begins!
Starting in July, we begin our Summer Adventure Program (SAP) for children and families of all ages. Children will get to experience spiritual enrichment in the season of growth through a hybrid blend of weekly activities that can be done in-person during children's worship or at home. For 8 weeks, our ‘SAPlings’ will grow while practicing our Unitarian Universalist values aligned with this year’s theme: Hope. Check out the bulletin board in the second-floor hallway for copies of each week’s activities. Pick up a copy for any week or the whole summer, if your family is traveling or otherwise will not be in attendance at Sunday worship. Activities include spiritual quotes from our hymnals and additional resources or enrichment options in the community. Children will even receive their own miniature chalice to decorate! See Justin (Congregational Life Coordinator, conglife@uuroc.org) for more details.
