Minister’s Note
"All things seem possible in May."
–Edwin Way Teale
Friends–
Are you ready? May is going to be a busy month for us. I encourage you to pay attention to all the Sundays in May–there’s something interesting happening each week:
May 5 (this Sunday): Informational meeting with the Board (hybrid) immediately following the service, to prepare us all for the upcoming Congregational Meeting.
May 12: Mother’s Day–with a special treat. The Belfiglio family has once again sent us a gift of funding for a post-service luncheon in memory of Barbara! (Thanks to Jane S., Mir, and Gina for planning and executing this event.)
May 19: Our annual Congregational Meeting (hybrid). This is crucial for our official business for the upcoming year, as we elect our Board and approve an annual budget for Church Year 2024-25 (July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025). Please plan to attend, especially if you are a voting member. (All are welcome at the meeting.)
May 26 (Memorial Day Weekend): Hymn Sign + Potluck + Listening Circle (in-person only). Instead of a regular Sunday service, our Music Director, Fran Gebuhr, and I are planning a Hymn Sing! We will meet at the usual service time, but focus on learning, practicing, and enjoying singing together. After our lunch, I will facilitate another in our monthly series of Listening Circles. Consider taking an hour to be held in a reflective circle of speaking and listening. By the end of this month, we will all have lots to think about!
Yours in discerning, deciding, and doing!

P.S. Happy May Day! May 1 is celebrated as Labour Day in much of the world and is also one of the pagan cross-quarter (halfway between equinox and solstice) holidays.
The purpose of the meeting is to bring members up to date on finances, and to present ways in which we can collectively participate in the growth of GNUUC.
Please allow approximately 30 minutes (12-12:30 PM).
We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday.
