-Rev. Dawn Fortune

Join us this Sunday for our Stewardship kickoff as we begin our month of asking "What does it mean to be a people of commitment?"

Join us to explore what it means to move beyond the warm and fuzzy, Sunday at 10 am at www.tinyurl.com/uucsjszoom or call in to (929)436-2866 then enter: 2246776604#, 0#, 306591#. Make sure to update your Zoom software before Sunday morning so you aren't late to church!

Information on upcoming services can be found HERE.

For those hearing-impaired, pdf copies of Rev. Dawn's sermons are available on our website at the link above. Also, entire services are uploaded to our YouTube channel each Sunday afternoon where Closed Captioning is available.

The programs and services we are able to provide each year are made possible through the generous financial support of our members and friends. So each year we have a season of stewardship to receive advance pledges of support from members and friends to help us to plan our programming budget in advance (planning for July 2021 to June 2022).

We will host the first small group Zoom gathering this Sunday following service. Come share what you value about the congregation and what you envision for the future!

It is the collective generosity from our community that makes UUCSJS possible! More information about signing up for the small groups will be coming soon.

To have your announcement placed in the Midweek Message, please send an email to uucsjsadmin@gmail.com by Noon on Wednesday.

Margaret Circle will meet on Thursday, March 4, at 1:00 pm on zoom.

MaryLou DeMaria Berhang will be leading the discussion. Here are her words about it:

"Cabin Fever: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Let's have a conversation focusing on how we are getting through the pandemic. Besides discovering good movies and zoom meetings, what was a bad choice? Desperately searching for Pepcid after munching on too much popcorn in the middle of the night? An ugly scene when ransacking the house trying to find where your husband hid the chocolate again! Has your heart opened more to others? That's a good thing."

For more information contact Betsy Searight or email admin@uucsjs.org.

On Friday nights at 7 p.m. through the season of Lent, a vespers service will be presented live on the UUCSJS YouTube Channel. Each service has scripture readings, music, and a brief reflection.

Tune in for a contemplative half-hour service! Visit uucsjs.org to learn more about the Friday Evening Vespers.

Here you will find opportunities to connect with our larger faith and other UU's from outside our congregation.
