UU COMMUNITY WORSHIP : 11 a.m. Sunday, November 19, 2023

November’s Ministry Theme:

The Gifts of  Generosity
The Many Ways we Give Thanks

Rev. Leia Durland-Jones & Greg Townsend, Worship Weaver

The Sunday prior to Thanksgiving is our congregation’s annual multi-bread communion service.  Together, we’ll reflect on the many ways we experience and express generosity. Join us as we explore how we can live our UU faith
in daily acts of acts of mindfulness, compassion, and gratitude.
All ages are welcome in the sanctuary!

Both the Children and Adult choirs will sing as we
worship in multigenerational community.

A family-friendly space to participate in worship is available in the social hall.
Nursery care is provided during the service in the Lower Hall
for children 5 and under.

**Please bring perishable and holiday foods and/or cleaning supplies to share with others in our congregation whose budgets are tight.
Items can be placed on the chancel in the sanctuary.  If you would like to take items home with you, please choose items from the chancel following the service.**

A soup & chili luncheon will be served following the service with proceeds benefiting the high school service trip with the Appalachian Service Project next July
