Building the World We Dream About
Saturday, May 3 and 17, 10 am - 12 pm
Have you always wished for a way to strengthen our Fellowship’s ability to work across racial and ethnic lines? Then sign up for “Building the World We Dream About”, an intensive workshop being offered by the Fellowship’s Diversity Committee on alternate Saturday mornings throughout the church year. We are one of only 45 congregations to pilot this new curriculum. Facilitators are Jean Wiant, Marian Dornell, Steve Merino, and Suzanne Weinstein.
For more information, including exact dates of the workship, read about this workshop here.
To register, please e-mail your name to diversity@uufcc.com OR return the registration form you received in our recent mailing OR fill out the downloadable registration form found here.
Sunday, May 4, after the service
A UUFCC WORKDAY to spruce up the Fellowship inside and out will be held directly after the service. Lunch and childcare for infants and toddlers will be provided, plus an ice cream social is planned for later in the day to celebrate a job well done. There will be plenty of projects, large and small, for both adults and children, so please plan to stay after the service to pitch in. (Wear or bring work clothes to the service.) Remember, your spiritual home needs spring cleaning, too!
