Wednesday, Jan. 8 | RAICA Info Meeting
Rochester Area Interfaith Climate Action is holding a general meeting for anyone who wants to learn what RAICA does and how you could get involved with advocating for and living in a fashion to lower greenhouse gases. The meeting will be held at First Universalist in the Clara Barton Lounge, Wednesday, January 8, from 7-8:30 pm. All are welcome to this public meeting.
What’s so great about Feb. 2, 2020? Hint: it’s got nothing to do with a groundhog. It’s the date of our annual Service Auction! As you prepare for the holidays, don’t forget to give some thought to what you might like to donate, or how you might want to participate. It’s a fun and fabulous time, and there’s something for everyone! Donation forms and more information will be coming in early January.
Small Group Ministry
There is interest in starting up a new Small Group Ministry in the new year. Interested in joining a group? Take a look at the description on our website uuroc.org under the “connect” tab and then email SGM@uuroc.org to learn more.
As a social justice project, our children voted to create Dignity Bags for those released from the Batavia Detention Center. They will assemble these bags at a Family Night in January, but are asking for content donations until then. Items can be left in the food collection baskets in the sanctuary.
Items needed:
backpacks (can be used, but appropriate for an adult), non-perishable packaged snacks, combs, travel toothbrushes and toothpastes, wet wipes and/or hand sanitizers, small packets of tissues, sturdy envelopes for important papers, empty reusable water bottles, $20 in cash/visa gift card for $20, pairs of socks, small notebooks and pens, winter coats, sweatshirts, packet hand warmers, hats and gloves.
Thank you!
