Don't forget our potluck lunch next Sunday, July 31st, after services. Those coming in person, please bring a favorite dish!
Sunday, July 24th, 2022:
This morning, we were unable to hold a normal service, but some of our members and friends nonetheless organized on our "UUFJC Cafe" email list to come together during the service hour for a time of sharing. As a small congregation, we often find ourselves facing challenges (of numbers, tech savvy, etc.), but our desire to come together in our welcoming faith community remains beyond it all, and our will to come together despite setbacks can remind us of our monthly theme: Resilience.
For those who would also like to keep up with our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia, their service message from this morning is available to view online: https://youtu.be/EWwD_NXbwPI
Next Sunday, July 31st:
Adult Forum - 9:15 am
"A 'Pro-Woman' Approach to Reproductive Health," Kelsey Brown, Vitae Foundation
Note: Vitae Foundation is a Pro-Life (anti-abortion) organization.
Our Adult Forum is currently available both in-person and via Zoom.

This Friday, July 29th at 1 pm in their Art Gallery, Missouri River Regional Library presents: "Weatherization Works!" Started in 1976, the Weatherization Assistance Program provides 8,500 jobs, services to more than 35,000 people every year, and can save households $372 or more every year, according to the Department of Energy. Local weatherization efforts through Central Missouri Community Action (CMCA) look to provide those same savings to 120 homes within its service area per year. Learn what weatherization can do for your home and how to apply for program assistance from Lacey A. Williams, weatherization services specialist at CMCA. Contact Madeline Matson.
