December UUSC Family Update

Updated 12/16/22 Donations from us and the MSUC congregation recently purchased items on their “needs” list a few items on their “wants” list.  Several UUCM Youth will wrap the presents this Sunday.  We’ll deliver the gifts next week, along with food staples including chicken breasts and hot beverage (hot chocolate) packets to bring to work. A family in our congregation donated a twin bed frame, mattress and bedding and will deliver them to the family.  Thank you for your ongoing support!

We are still looking for a volunteer comfortable using an Android phone to help the parents access email on their Android phones. Spanish language skills is a plus (could be an adult and youth). Contact Lori Arnold loriwarnold10@gmail.com if you can help.

If you’d like to donate to our ongoing support of their food security: Donate online to Special Donation Campaigns using a credit card at bit.ly/giveuucm. Please put “UUSC Family” in the memo line. Mail a contribution with “UUSC Family” in the memo line to UUCM at 2030 Wayzata Blvd E, Wayzata MN 55391. You can also place checks and gift cards in the secure box near the church office door.

Our Soul Matters theme for this month, “The Path of Wonder”, asks us to use these moments of wonder to move beyond feelings of being small and separate from nature, and to instead reflect on how these moments connect us to other people and to the world around us. Continue reading →
