Coffee in the East Foyer!

On Sunday, Feb 9, we will begin having coffee in the East Foyer after every service.  Hosting the social hour in our new foyer was one of the reasons for its design and layout.  We hope that everyone will also take the time to greet our minister, Rev Barbara, as they move from the sanctuary to the foyer for the social hour.

Changes on Sunday Morning: Worship and More

On Sunday February 9, we initiated some changes to the Order of Service. A musical Prelude will start five to eight minutes before the hour to provide quiet, inspirational time in the sanctuary for you to transition to the space of worship. During the service, we will include several new sung responses and sometimes a lay ‘testimonial’ on a variety of topics. Be assured that these changes have been made quite intentionally, after many conversations with Rev. Barbara, Music Director Nichole, and the worship committee, changes  based on principles of worship planning which we believe can enhance all the more your experience here at UUCR on a Sunday morning. Experiencing these changes to worship now, this congregation will be all the better accustomed to future changes which will likely be made when you take on a more permanent relationship with a minister. Please contact Rev. Barbara, Nichole, or worship committee chair Steve Ewart if you have questions.

Saturday, March 8 - Fellowship Dinner

Mark Your Calendars!  UUCR's annual Fellowship Dinner will be held on Saturday, March 8, beginning at 6 pm. This is an event for the whole family!  The church will provide hot entrees with a Mediterranean theme.  Attendees will be asked to contribute potluck items, based on their last names. Dinner will be family-style, meaning that children may eat dinner with their parents.  After dinner there will be a program of music and other entertainment.  Childcare will be provided, and we will have activities for the kids downstairs after the meal. Invitations will be sent out via an e-blast this coming week.  Please RSVP!  We hope you can come! For more information contact Kathy Deligianis at kathyd@tuxers.net.

Hypothermia Prevention Project

More than twenty UUCR volunteers have helped serve warm meals to hungry guests of the overflow shelter in Reston. We continue this service on Friday evenings through the end of March. You can do a little or a lot for this project -- from providing a dessert or salad, to joining a cooking team, to serving the meal. Go to our SignUpGenius page: <http://tinyurl.com/UUCRhypoList> (case sensitive).  Or contact me directly. ~ Laurie Dodd, LaureenMT@aol.com, (703) 309-1722.
