Easter season is here

 -4/8/21
    Easter season is here and new life is all around us. This beautiful valley is in full bloom. The community has been doing well, and yesterday we were upgraded to the orange tier. While it is worth celebrating, we are reminded by Dr. Coren that we still need to be careful. The East Coast is experiencing a possible start of a new wave of COVID 19 cases. We want to continue protecting our neighbors by wearing masks, washing our hands, and accepting a vaccination if you can. 
   Our hybrid worship service is designed with keeping people safe in mind. If you plan to attend services in person, please read our safety protocols to be prepared before you come. Of course, if you want to worship from home, our livestream is still available on Facebook. 
   It was wonderful to have 30 people at our outdoor sunrise service and 22 people at our in person Sunday service on Easter. Thank you to all who helped work so hard to make this happen.
   Bible study is tonight at 5:00 by Zoom. You will find the color coded link below. Our reading is John 20:19-22. 
   This Saturday is our highway 101 cleanup day from 10:00 to noon. If you would like to participate, contact Jone at 707-489-5186.
   I hope your week is filled with moments where you can see God's love being poured out on you. Take time to dream of the world God is moving us toward, and find your place in the dance with dreamers.

Shalom,
Pastor Michele

Would you, or someone you know,
benefit from a "porch visit"?

Please let us know.  And let us know, also, if you would like to visit others.  A listening ear and a compassionate heart are all you'll need.  You can also choose to join with other visitors for prayer and mutual support.

Thanks to all who made masks for use at the local hospital. Ukiah Valley Medical Center thanks churches and groups, saying they have enough to provide people who arrive needing one.  We made over 500 masks as an extended community!  Special thanks goes out to many friends of UUMC for joining the effort.  Please keep checking with us for future opportunities to join together in service efforts.

Pastor Michele and Debbie, our Office Manager, are working remotely, checking incoming Voice/E-mail.
. Please don't hesitate to contact them.
