RE: Children's Chapel Other News and Reminders UUCG Members: At the Unitarian Universalist Church of Greeley, we strive to grow spiritually, live meaningfully, and help heal the world. The Committee on Shared Ministry is responsible for taking the pulse of how our ministries are fulfilling that purpose. We also assess the spiritual health of the congregation. In order to do so, we will be conducting a "Heartbeat Survey." At church on January 10, 17, and 24 we will distribute a survey that includes five short questions. We ask that you complete the survey one time sometime during those three weeks. If for some reason you are not able to attend church on at least one of those days, email or phone us so that we can get the survey to you. (ssgotchey@comcast.net or 970.356.3562) Results of the survey will be shared in February. The Committee on Shared Ministry: Jim Shearer, Shelley Gotchey. Grandmother's Circle: Grandmother's Circle is scheduled to meet on the Thursday, January 21st at 7pm! Please RSVP to either Sylvia Falconer or Tandie Mitchell so they can know how many to expect!

I hope that you have enjoyed getting acquainted with the people around the world that UUSC helps and the programs they run. I have always been fascinated by how UUSC gt started before WWII and how they had designed the flaming chalice image to light refugees from Nazism to help them to freedom. The chalice still burns in UU Churches across North America and further still carrying on the work of support for human rights and social justice and responding to disasters, at present the refugee disaster. We are uniquely honored this year to have two guests who as children were part of a 1940 Transport from Vichy, France via Lisbon,Portugal to safety in America. In January 2016 you need to do two things:
