The Program for Nov. 10, 2024 that provided a response to the General Election is available here.

 

Dear People of Westside,

This week we hold our Annual General Meeting. This is the single official business meeting of our congregation that is required by our By-laws. All active members are strongly encouraged to attend and participate in the meeting. A quorum of 1/3 of our membership is required for voting to occur; voting is necessary in order to elect people to vacant positions and to pass our 2025 Budget. All inactive members, friends and visitors are invited to attend and participate in discussions. UUWC customarily extends voice without vote to non-members.

This meeting occurs following our Potluck Lunch. Our Potluck Lunch will be served in the Social Hall at the conclusion of our service. Following the meal, we will move into the Sanctuary for the meeting.

Here are the other important reminders for this week:

• Feed the Rio Rancho Kids meets Tuesday at 9am in the Green Room to assemble the snack packs. Please use the Courtyard Door!
• The Men’s Group meets Tuesday at 7pm. Contact Bill Shore for more information. evolvself@outlook.com
• The Humanist Group meets at 11:45am in the Conference Room on Thursday. Please use the Courtyard Door.
• The Women’s Group meets on Thursday at 2:30-4pm in the Conference Room. Hobbit Merrit will present Part II of a program about surviving Covid. If you missed Part I, come anyway!
• January 17th, 9-11 am. Anti-racist book club: Bad Mexicans: Race, Empire & Revolution in the Borderlands by Kelly Lytle Hernandez historian. Read part one and meet for a discussion at Whispering Bean on Corales Rd by Sprouts.
• Saturday, January 18th: Labyrinth Walk. Meet in Sanctuary.
• Remember your Potluck dish for Sunday! Please arrive in time to drop your dish off in the kitchen before the service. If possible, please include an ingredient list so those on prescribed diets can eat safely.

Our service this week is titled, “Surveying Our Domain: UUWC”. We will review who we are and where we are now and where we want to go. For our 25 new members, this will be very informative; it will help all of us work together toward our goals for 2025. This is followed at 3pm by the interfaith Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service at St. Francis Episcopal Church. See poster on our bulletin board. Rev. Nancy will be participating. Everyone is welcome to attend. Please bring canned goods (no glass) for Storehouse West if you would like to make an offering.

Shalom,
Rev. Nancy
