Many thanks to all those who helped with the GNUUC Spring Cleanup Work Day and exceptional potluck lunch on May 28. Twenty members working as individuals, pairs and groups cleaned, culled and organized the shed, trimmed most of the bushes around the Main Bldg and some grass along the parking lot, removed bamboo from our side of the fence, prepped the RE Building entry stairs for painting, put down mulch on some of the garden trails, removed poison hemlock and half the weeds/grass from the playground area, filled woodpecker holes on the gazebo and shed, cleaned and repainted one set of metal table/chairs near the gazebo and degreased most of the kitchen walls and appliances.

Join us this Sunday, May 28, for a few hours to spruce up our campus and enjoy a communal potluck lunch. This event is in leu of a Sunday service.
B&G Work Day: We are so happy to have Carol and Dan L. as our new B&G chairs and they have some volunteer projects for us!
Come anytime on Sunday 8:30 AM - noon and pick a volunteer task. If you are an early birder and show up at 8:30 AM, Nathanael will lead us in a short opening meditation.
It looks like it’s going to be a nice but cool day. Wear your work clothes, and bring work gloves and gardening tools if you have them. We will be concentrating on trimming shrubbery, weeding, mulching the garden trails, painting the outdoor furniture and cleaning out the shed…or does this seem too ambitious? We will have fun and enjoy each other’s company.
Potluck: The Potluck will be from noon - 1 PM.
We look forward to seeing you!
NO SUNDAY SERVICE THIS SUNDAY!
