Rev. Dawn is on study leave this week. You can catch up on past Minister's Midweek Meditations on the YouTube Playlist.

If you are in need, please contact our Caring Team Leader,Tracey Catino at Traceysnaps@msn.com.

To have your announcement placed in the Midweek Message, please send an email to admin@uucsjs.org by Noon on Wednesday.

On April 11th, after the service, we will be discussing, in after-service breakout rooms, the following four questions concerning our signage on route 575. Please give the questions some thought beforehand. We are very interested in your feedback.

-Janet Longo, UUCSJS Board Member

1. What words or feelings would you like our display (signs/flag) on route 575 to convey to the public?

2. We have a basic name sign, Black Lives Matter sign, and a rainbow flag on route 575. Can we improve the present configuration in order to promote our causes and advertise our events?

3. The UU Board is considering purchasing an electronic sign that would be used to promote our causes and events. The cost may range from $11,000-$25,000. In your mind, what are the pros and cons?

4. At issue is where and how the rainbow flag should be displayed. Do you support the present display (attached to the sign) or are you in favor of a separate flag pole in proximity to the present sign?

Please see some example images below. You can click on the images to enlarge.

The UUCSJS Board will meet on Thursday, April 15, 2021 at 6:30 pm on Zoom.

All are welcome to attend.

April's book is GHOSTS OF HARVARD by Francesca Serritella!

Ghosts of Harvard is written with a masterly, focused hand, belying the fact that this is Serritella’s debut novel. The pages burn with frenetic energy and are peopled by memorable, compelling characters. The tension is palpable, the twists and surprises perfectly times…. Mary Lou Berhang will monitor.

Book Club will be meeting Friday, April 16 at 7:00 pm on UUCSJS ZOOM link.

As many of you are aware, the Rainbow flag outside of our congregation has been repeatedly vandalized. In the hopes that someone may recognize those committing this crime, we are sharing video footage from our security camera of the latest vandalization. Click the link below to view this video.

Please contact Marty Quish, UUCSJS Board Member, with any questions or concerns.
