Here's what's happening at United Christian Church ATX:
IN-PERSON WORSHIP: Right now, our staff and lay leadership are focusing on providing a safe worship experience for all who come in-person and a meaningful experience whether you are in-person or online. If you join us in-person, please self-screen for symptoms before, wear a tight-fitting mask, access the mobile bulletin, grab your communion kits in the fellowship hall, remain in your household throughout the entirety of the service, hum rather than sing, respect one household in the restroom at a time, & limit any gathering indoors. Thank you!
TUESDAY NOON BOOK GROUP: Beginning on Tuesday, January 25th, the group will start a new book, reading and discussing one chapter each week. The group meets on Zoom each Tuesday at noon. Topic: The God Who Sees: Immigrants, the Bible and the Journey to Belong by Karen Gonzalez is a book about immigration. Using her own story as a narrative frame, González explores what a biblically based approach to immigration should be. She writes that current hate-filled responses to immigration are anathema to the God who sees, knows and loves immigrants. The God Who Sees also contends that Christians need to be at the front lines of the immigration debate, offering welcome rather than a wall. Through this book, find the power of Jesus, a refugee Savior who calls us to become citizens in a country not of this world. New copies are available on Amazon for $16.99. Used copies are also available at $6.99. Contact the church office if you need the Zoom information.
PERIOD PARTY POSTPONED: We are temporarily postponing the Period Party until we return to Stage 4. You can still donate products or funds in-person or online. Here's how you can help:
1) Bring your individually wrapped tampons, liners, pads, and wipes to church. We are most in need of tampons and individually wrapped liners. Put them in either the Period Party bins inside the front door or outside to the left of the front doors.
2) Donate to UCC online and put Period Party in the memo line or send money through Venmo @UCCPeriodParty.
3) Spread the word and ask your family and friends to donate products or money online or through Venmo.
Thank you so much to all who have donated thus far, and we look forward to packaging and distributing the products soon!
