Hello Westside People!
There is a lot going on at UUWC this week. Below is the schedule of events AND the extra details that will make it easier for you to participate!

• On Saturday, April 27th at 10 am: The Humanist Group will meet in the Sunroom. Contact Karen Schafer for more info!
• On Saturday April 27th at 10:30 am our Community Conversation Circle will meet in the Green Room. This is the last meeting of this series in which we will be discussing how we envision our congregations future. Light snacks are provided!
• On Sunday, April 28th the Social Justice Committee will meet at 12:30 in the Conference Room. A representative from “Mother’s Demand Action” (gun control) will join us briefly to discuss possible future programming.
• On Thursday, May 2nd at 2:30 our Community Conversation Circle will begin to explore the proposed UUA changes in the national bylaws to Article II. This affects the relationship between individual congregations and the UUA, as well as the change from 7 Principles to 6 Core Values. The material is very important to us as UU’s moving into the future together. We will continue to hold weekly CCC’s on a rotating schedule: May 2nd, May 16, & 30 will be Thursdays at 2:30 pm in the Green Room. May 11th and 25th we will meet on Saturday at 10:30 am. Please try to attend at LEAST one or more of these meetings.
• There is also a link below to a video by Ken Ing about the proposed changes. While it is almost an hour long, it is done in segments so you can view a shorter portion to suit your schedule. Ing does an excellent job of explaining what the changes are and raising some thought provoking questions. Whether you “like” the proposed Core Values or not, the questions need to be considered seriously!

On Sunday Barbara Gabioud from the UU Fellowship of Silver City will be presenting a program titled, “The Evolution of a Local Border Justice Project”. We will be presenting her with 100 backpacks for kids seeking asylum. We will also be taking up a special offering to kick off the “Give Grandly” fund drive to help with Border Justice projects. This is an additional offering in our service; it will go in its entirety to this project. Below is a link to the website with more information about the program and information about how to either write a check or use your credit card online to contribute. The easiest way to do so on Sunday morning is to bring cash for this purpose!
Shalom,
Rev. Nancy
