Dear UUCC Families and friends…
a note from your Director of Religious Education
WE NEED CONNECTION!!! (is that just me?) Watch Facebook for more info coming soon on activities and Zoom rooms/parties to help keep us busy during our isolation (we might even learn something along the way).
I can imagine the changes taking place in families and homes all over our world right now. My heart is heavy. We need each other. Remember… We are strong. We are resilient. Take a minute to breath. We’re slowing down. Life is a little different for a while. Please reach out to myself or Rev Hannah if we can be of any help. We are here. We are with you. You are loved!
Just breath ( )…
Mary Scherden,
Director of Faith Development, She/Her/Hers
Chair – Mountain Desert District – LREDA
Faith Development has lots going on! Check us out! You can join us right from your own home. #stawawaystayconnected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Facebook posts and check ins – If you haven’t already, please join our UUCC Faith Development Facebook page. In the next couple weeks we’ll be figuring out our need and what can be offered via ZOOM and Facebook Live posts VS ability/bandwidth. Your input is essential.
For Faith Development https://www.facebook.com/groups/UUCCRE/
For general church info and posts https://www.facebook.com/UUCheyenne/
For those without Facebook. I understand and am working to make information available to everyone. If you don’t have/use Facebook and would like an update via text or email, I can do that, send a note to me, Mary Scherden, Director of Faith Development at DFD@uucheyenne.org. In the meantime, I’m looking for apps that can keep us connected without the use of Facebook but still keeping the Safe Congregations rule of 3 in effect. Keep watching your UUCC Newsletter for additional information.
**************************************

If you have any Joys, Concerns, Personal Congratulations (Birthdays, Anniversaries, Graduations, etc.) that you would like to share with the Congregation, please email the administrator at administrator@uucheyenne.org. The newsletter is published every Wednesday at noon, so submissions must be received by 10am Tuesday morning to be in that week’s newsletter.
Please Note:
- If you would like your submission to run more than one week, please include that in your email.
- If you would like your submission included in that Sunday’s Joys and Concerns section of the service, please include this in your email; otherwise it will only be in the newsletter.
Thank you!

Below you will find links to participate in yoga classes via the Zoom video chat app. For those who haven’t used it, Zoom allows you to watch and listen to the presenter, and you have the option of turning off or on your own audio and video. If you do not yet use Zoom, you can download it from your app store either on your computer or phone, or both. It is easier on a bigger screen. I advise trying it out with a friend or loved one before class to get used to its features, or contact me and I can walk you through it.
Each class has its own link. It seems all you have to do is click the links below, near the start of class time. So far I haven’t had to also type in the meeting ID. If you’d like to try it sooner, let me know and perhaps we can do a trial run.
For now, Zoom limits meetings of 3 or more to just 40 minutes. I am in the process of paying a subscription fee to upgrade so that we can have longer class times: an hour to 75 minutes is my goal. Not sure how long that will take, as there was a glitch when I tried to do that earlier today.
As for payment, I’m going to try a social experiment of setting up a PayPal and Vimeo account and letting it be on a voluntary donation basis as to if and how much people are willing or able to contribute. Per a couple of students’ suggestion, you may also mail payment to me:

Any scheduled event that was to be held at the church has been cancelled at that location.
You should contact the committee chair or contact for the event to get information on alternate locations or methods of meeting.
The Board will reassess the situation in early April to determine whether activities, including in-house worship services, will resume in the building.

Caring for one another is more important than ever right now. In order to ensure that our congregation is well-tended during our physical separation, checking in on one another is critical.
If you would be willing to commit to checking in on a list of 10-12 households each week, please email Rev. Hannah or text/call her at 414-870-1028.
You would be responsible for reaching out via phone call or text to those households once a week to check in and see how they are faring, whether anyone is sick, and what support they might need. You wouldn’t be expected to meet those needs all on your own. It is just helpful to have folks out there making sure that we know how our folks are doing.

COMMITTEES
If you have a committee meeting or other UUCC-related gathering scheduled between now and the end of March, please contact Rev. Hannah at minister@uucheyenne.org to schedule access to the Zoom “room” for most UUCC meetings.

This is also an anxious time financially, for individuals and organizations alike. If you are able, UUCC values and appreciates your continued support through this time. If you typically put cash or a check in the offering plate on Sunday mornings, please consider mailing that donation to the church, giving via our website, or giving via our mobile giving app.
If your financial situation changes and you need to adjust an automatic deduction, please email bookkeeper@uucheyenne.org for more information.
If you find yourself in need of emergency financial assistance, please email Rev. Hannah at minister@uucheyenne.org or call/text her at 414-870-1028.

Email and text scammers are continuing to target churches through this crisis. A member of our staff or lay leadership will never email or text you and instruct you to purchase gift cards. If you receive a suspicious request, please alert a staff member immediately.

Important! Please Read!
We have been experiencing a growing issue with peanut residue in the building, especially in the library. Please, do not bring peanut products into the building, and if your little ones enjoy their peanut butter snacks before coming, please be sure their hands are clean before they touch surfaces used by everyone. We are seeing almost daily allergic reactions, so we ask you to please be diligent. It may be an inconvenience to you, but it can be life-threatening to those who are allergic.

Registration is Now Open!
Registration is now open at uua.org/ga/registration. Full-time registration is $400 for adults, $250 for high school youth and retired and candidate ministers, $150 for off-site registrants. Early bird registration is now through March 15, 2020. Rates increase on March 16th.
|
|
NEW! Registration Payment Plan
Prefer smaller payments over a longer period of time? We’ve designed a payment plan just for you. When you register, simply click “payment plan” when prompted and, for as little as $50 down, you can spread out the balance of your registration over several months. Registration must be paid in full on or before February 29, 2020.
The UUA is committed to the goal of making GA accessible to as many attendees as possible. Go to uua.org/ga to learn about scholarships to support participation – particularly of those from marginalized groups – and volunteer opportunities (work in exchange for registration). The UUA is committed to addressing the inclusion of all people, whatever their abilities might be, in all GA activities. Beyond the physical accessibility of the facilities we use – ramps, captioning, seating cut-outs, etc.- we endeavor to take the next step: to truly welcome people with disabilities into every facet of GA. |
