For the next three Sundays (Nov. 16–Dec. 7) the Social Action Committee will distribute “ornaments” and collect gifts for our “adopted families” participating in Families Helping Families. You will find the Christmas tree in the Social Hall. This year, we have adopted two families (one with three children and the other with four children, two of whom are autistic), a senior citizen, and an adult with disabilities. Families Helping Families is a program of the central midlands Palmetto Project and is sponsored by WIS News 10.

As an annual tradition that goes back many years, the UUCC will be hosting another Thanksgiving Day potluck gathering. We encourage everyone to join us and bring your family and friends. On this day, we will celebrate peace and gratefulness for all, including indigenous people, immigrants, and all oppressed people. We are an LGBTQ Welcoming Community.
