 Hello UUFSM,

So far, UUFSM has 5-6 people that directly help children.  Of course, they are mostly parents themselves and do this already through the week.  It would best reflect our mission and vision statements if people outside what is normally "kid space," i.e. the RE classrooms, would visit with our children, help us... grow. 

This year, Fellowship Mail will be left at the Greeter's desk on Sunday Mornings, so you can drop off items for other people or pick yours up.  (Mail used to be left on the Information table, but it sometimes got mixed in with the magazines and lost.) 

Each Sunday, we need to transform a lunch room into a sanctuary for our worship services. Members of the Chalice Guild make this happen by hanging up banners, laying out the flowers for the Joys and Concerns, and setting up the Chalice Table. We urgently need more people to help with this important and fun task. Printed guidelines are available, and experienced members of the Guild will help get you started.

If you can help by arriving a little bit early on a Sunday to decorate and make the sanctuary beautiful, please put your name in the SignUp book on the week(s) you want.
