Membership Classes at UUCC!
The next class is May 20th!
NOTE: Sunday’s class time has been changed from 11:45 to 9:00 am due to the Annual Meeting
Have you been thinking about becoming a member of our congregation? Are you interested in learning more about Unitarian Universalism or UUCC? Starting this month, we’ll be holding our new member classes on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month from 11:45 – 12:45 in the Library. On the first Sunday of the month, Rev. Hannah will lead us in an exploration of Unitarian Universalist history and identity. On the third Sunday, our Membership team will lead us through some history and identity of UUCC specifically. Newcomers and long-timers and everybody in between are welcome to attend!
Both classes will be required before joining UUCC, and there will be an opportunity to join the church on the 4th Sunday of every month! If you have any questions, please contact Rev. Hannah at hrvillnave@gmail.com
Join Us for Sunday Service!
Join us in worship this Sunday morning as we explore how we can create a community that reflects our shared dreams. There will be singing, storytelling, and a chance to explore your own creativity through shared art! It is sure to be a joyous way to prepare our hearts and minds for our Annual Meeting that will follow the service.

A Month of Creativity
Thank you
Your small but mighty Installation Committee would like to thank all the staff, members and friends of UUCC who helped with Rev. Hannah’s joyful and heartwarming Installation Service & Reception. Thank you to all those who cooked, baked, or bought food for the reception and to those who helped to set up and take down. Special thanks to Shelley for baking Rev. Hannah’s one-of-a-kind fabulous cake. If you missed seeing it, you are sure to see photos, as it was photographed second most only to Rev. Hannah herself! Thanks to Arlene Shanklin and to those who contributed to making Rev. Hannah’s unique stole as a gift from the congregation. Thanks to those who loaned us their punch bowls and drink containers and to those who helped to serve food and drink and to wash dishes. Thank you to those who jumped in to serve as greeters and ushers at the last minute and to those who helped to plan the service. Thank you to those who housed out-of-town guests, who advertised the event, who bought and arranged flowers and to all those who helped in ways that we may have forgotten to mention here. We needed each and every one of you to create this most special occasion. Thanks to Marcie and the choir and to everyone who showed up to attend the service. Finally, thanks to the Installation Committee for their efforts to plan and execute this special event. With much gratitude to you all from the Installation Committee: Camille Furtney; Caroljean Bongo; Gordon Johns; Ellen Stump; Beth Howard and especially to Rev. Hannah for giving us such a wonderful reason to celebrate!

CHURCH NOTICE:
We have posted signs up around the church a number of times but again we must stress the importance of NOT bringing any peanuts or foods with peanuts in them into the building at all. We have a member of our congregation that has a deathly allergy to peanuts and anything with peanuts in them. When this member discovers there are peanuts in the building, they have to leave immediately. This means that they miss out on our various activities or meetings that they need to be at. The allergy is critical and we DO NOT want to alienate this member or any others who have this allergy. PLEASE, PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! that we cannot allow peanuts into the building. (If you are bringing in a packaged item, please try to check that it wasn’t manufactured in a facility that processes anything with peanuts.)
