Please let us know of any correction in the draft directory. There will be a physical draft copy for edits after the services. Click HERE for the draft copy of the directory for review! No need to respond if everything is correct. Please let us know if you want to be removed or of any corrections by emailing Meghan at office_manager@greeleyuuc.org! RESPOND BY January 8th. The directory will be published on January 13th! Thank you! Grocery Certificate Volunteers Needed! Due to a change in family life Rosemary Edmiston must relinquish her duties as a grocery certificate volunteer and Hollis Berendt wishes to spend more time with her family- thus it is time for a personnel change. We are hopeful that several will volunteer creating a team of volunteers with a coordinator so that the duties will not fall on one or two people all of the time. The coordinator or at least one volunteer should have access to a computer. The grocery certificate service provides added revenue for the church, and works closely with the UUCG Treasurer and Board. Volunteers need to contact Rosemary, Hollis, Erika Coan or Reverend Barry Bloom. How can I contact Rev. Barry Bloom? If you need to get into contact with Rev. Barry Bloom please email him at revbarrybloom@gmail.com or call him at 303-273-9908. How can I contact our Board Members? Board Vice President Marika Barth: marikabarth@hotmail.com Board Secretary Josette Schaffer: josetteschaffer@msn.com Board Treasurer Erika Coan: eacoan@gmail.com If you have an announcement you would like to see in our weekly announcements please email Meghan at office_manager@greeleyuuc.org by 10 am on the Tuesday you wish to see the announcement in!
