Sunday July 30th - “2nd Principal” Jennifer Ward In recent months, our organization and our faith have been challenged by historically underrepresented voices claiming a place at our denomination's table. Our 2nd principle calls us to "justice, equity, and compassion in human relations." In these turbulent and contentious times, what does that mean for our relationships, our churches, and our faith? What does a religion truly dedicated to these values look like? RE: Play Raspberry Picking Time Everyone is welcome to come pick raspberries at Tim and Hollis Berendts' house. The whole north side of our home is filled with raspberries. We don't need to be home, come whenever you want, morning is best because of the heat.

Grocery Certificates Volunteers Needed Are you willing to give thirty minutes for 5% to the church? Josette Schaffer is trying to organize grocery gift card helpers like the coffee helpers. It takes 15 minutes before church and 15 minutes after. You could sign up for a Sunday in which your partner has another duty....coffee, worship associate, AV, choir, etc. It would be great to have 5-6 volunteers so they would only help two times a quarter. Please contact Josette if you are willing to help with this easy way to support our church. josetteschaffer@msn.com. How can I contact Rev. Barry Bloom? If you need to get into contact with Rev. Barry Bloom please email him at office_manager@greeleyuuc.org Office Hours : Mon, Wed &Thur 10am - 12pm Tuesday 9-11am Fridays 1pm - 3pm If you have an announcement or corrections you would like to see in our weekly announcements, please email Margaret at office_manager@greeleyuuc.org by 10 am on the Tuesday you wish to see the announcement in! |
