A Bulletin Board of Sorts
Since we meet at the Jericho Elementary School,
we don't have space for a bulletin board announcing all the interesting
UU events happening locally, regionally and nationally. This page serves as
that board. Feel free to browse. If you have something to add, please use the contact below.
- Fourth Annual PRO Lasagna Dinner and Easter Egg Hunt: March 22 (the Saturday before Easter) (click here for details)
- 2nd Annual Dance and Auction with Tammy Fletcher: April 5th, 2008 (click here for details)
- The PRO could use an extra set of adult hands: Our 5-8th grade youth group is a vibrant, active group of great young people, and I'm inviting you to experience their creative energy first hand - I could use an extra set of adult hands. Please consider signing up for a service or two this year. I will have a sign-up sheet with me at the next service, but am also looking for help at that service. So, if you want to jump right in, email me and let me know. We start each session with a chalice lighting while we sing Spirit of Life. Thanks, Karen Baron (kbaronvt@gmail.com)

- Join the Chalice Lighter Program.The VT/NH District Chalice lighter
program supports projects in local UU congregations, by providing grants to 2 congregations
each year. Recent recipients include Derby Line, Plymouth, NH, Rutland, Milford NY, and
Bennington VT. Grants have been given for start-activities, hort-term ministerial
needs and one-time costs associated with growth. Individuals pledge $15 or more
twice a year, and all the money raised is distributed to the grant recipients.
Consider helping another congregation this year. Someday they may choose to help
us. Unfortunately there is no on-line form for this project.
Contact the District office for a copy of the form.
