Don't forget our annual Rummage Sale, coming this Saturday! Details below.
Sunday morning was our annual business meeting. Our Fellowship is growing, which brings both joy and new challenges. We approved a budget for the year that includes investments in our future, and we began the work of considering a behavioral covenant for our Fellowship.
The annual meeting also marks the transition from the previous Board of Directors to the incoming board elected in March. Many thanks to outgoing board members Alexis Engelbrecht and Judi Jecmen, and thanks to the continuing and incoming board members:
President: Katherine Connor
Vice President: Jim Davis
Treasurer: Bob Antweiler
Secretary: Lisa Sanning
Director of Religious Education: José Villafañe
Not only at business meetings and in official offices, but throughout the year in many ways, our Fellowship depends on the participation, effort, and support of our members and friends. Many thanks to everyone who has worked to make our Fellowship thrive! To help us continue going forward, a time and talent survey was distributed at today's service, offering opportunities to volunteer in various ways. If you did not get a chance to fill out the survey, contact us for an electronic version.
Next Sunday, June 4th:
Service at McClung Park, outdoor pavilion.
We'll be having our services at the park this week to allow for cleanup after our Rummage Sale. For more information, see the map and directions above.
Adult Forum - 9:15 am
"Do We Need the Filibuster?" Frank Rycyk
John Yoo and Sal Prakash argue that "Democracy is too important to permit winks, nods and obstruction to be the order of the day."
Service and Religious Education - 10:30 am
Message: "Living with Change," Jim Davis
Technology, today, brings on changes in our lives almost daily, it seems. What is the best way to respond to change? Unexpected, unwanted, unintended change, can sometimes leave us with a sense of loss, feeling confused and perhaps a little disoriented. Nostalgia and regret are common responses to such experiences, but they are not solutions. Jim Davis will share some stories and illustrations, and then present his own perspective on how Unitarian Universalism is a religion particularly suited for living in an ever-changing world.
If you have a joy or concern that you would like to have read during the Service, please submit it by noon on Friday through our website: http://uufjc.org/joys--concerns.html
Plus Children's RE --- Volunteers Needed!
Cookout and Potluck Lunch after service --- please bring a favorite dish!
