RE: Earth Day Project Other News and Reminders The RE Ministry is planning for the summer. We are looking for volunteers to be guest leaders Sunday May 31- September 6. This is where you get to use your gifts with our church children. And it only requires a one-time commitment. Come lead the kids in crafts,music, games, art, social justice projects, woodworking, etc. It's your choice! There is a sign up sheet in the foyer, and we can't wait to see how you participate. Don't miss this chance to interact with our kids. Building and Grounds Ministry invites you to be “Crew Member for the Morning” We work hard to make our building a home in which we base our journeys to grow spiritually, live meaningfully, and help heal the world. Many, many thanks to all who have moved and hauled, drilled and hung, scrubbed and shoveled……. More opportunities are available for us all on Saturday, May 9th! We will be cleaning and raking and pruning and sweeping our outdoor spaces. Indoor work will include some rug shampooing, pew and chair fixing, ceiling fan dusting, vent dusting, spider-web removal, storm window and screen exchange, and whatever else we can think of. Please put the morning of May 9th on your calendar. We’ll work from 9 to noon. We would like to borrow the following items from church members: carpet shampooer, long-reach duster, ceiling fan duster, shop vacuum, pruning shears and loppers, garden hose with spray nozzle. Contact Shelley Gotchey at ssgotchey@comcast.net with questions and/or items to loan for our spring cleaning. * Please bring your own work gloves. Bill Gotchey has been a member of a men philosophical group for a few years. He really enjoys it and he would like to start one beginning in May with the UU guys. The plan would be to meet the first, third and fifth Saturday of each month. The meetings could be at the church or like his other group at a coffee shop. If interested, contact Bill Gotchey at gotchey@comcast.net Children's Garden April 24 at Misc workday May 12 at 5:00 The children will begin planting Make More Magic Auction Please prepare for a fun evening on Saturday May 16th at 7:00pm for our Make More Magic Auction.

Does your family own a cabin that can be auctioned off for a weekend? Do you have paintings or other artwork, jewelry, houseplants to donate? Can you clean someone's car, wash windows, weed a garden, offer your rototiller, offer your pickup truck for a few hours? Can you take people on a hike? A picnic? Plan a fishing trip? A Poker Party? Can you offer to entertain for a party: Do you sing, dance, play an instrument, do magic etc.? Consider donating these things so attendees can purchase them.

Imagine an object or symbolic idea of something you consider spiritual. It could be a traditional symbol or a sunrise or a laughing child or a warm embrace. It could be a rainbow or wildlife or a simple smile. It could be a place that puts you in a spiritual frame of mind. If you don't have a picture, think about what symbolizes your personal spirituality and take a picture of it. We are asking for your submission of photography or art with a short paragraph describing why it is special to you. If possible, the submission should be an 8x10 or larger framed. If not possible, submit it anyway. We'll see what we can do. We have frames available for use with the show. The show will be displayed over the summer months. The deadline has changed. Please submit to Michael Free by May 30th. If you have weekly announcements you'd like to submit, be sure to email them to the Office Manager (office_manager@greeleyuuc.org) by 10am on the Tuesday of the week you'd like them to be in the announcements!
