Let's all gather downstairs for coffee, soup, sandwiches, and community!

To Renewal House with Love
Sunday, February 12th ~ 11:00 am, Sanctuary
It's time for our annual lovefest for Renewal House (Unitarian Universalist Urban Ministry), our shelter for women and children escaping domestic violence.
This year, please bring full-sized toiletries—shampoo, conditioner, soap, razors, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste—and tampons and pads. All contributions will be gratefully received! Thank you!
During worship next Sunday, our children will be making treats for Renewal House. All bakers are encouraged to join in the fun.
