Hello friends,
It is so beautiful today. I hope you are able to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air.
We did receive a new public health advisory today from Dr. Coren that is asking us to limit our gatherings to 12 people. Our band, tech team, and myself come to 10 people, so we will be going back to online worship only for the next three Sundays. I am hopeful that we will be able to return to in-person worship in February if we see COVID numbers decreasing by then.
Explore Archery is in the social hall on Saturdays at 10:00.
Online Retreat January 14-17, 2022
The Redwood Ashram is hosting a weekend for thoughtful discussion, prayer, and fellowship. The retreat will be held online with materials available on the website and live interactions over Zoom. Discussion will be based around pre-recorded teachings from Brother Lloyd Saatjian, speaking on scripture from a Middle Eastern perspective. More information and registration available on the website (https://www.redwoodchristianashram.org/January22) or check in with Bethany (office@ukiahumc.org).
Book study is starting again on Thursdays in February. We will have a 4 week study based on the book by Rev. Peter Wallace, The Passionate Jesus. We will meet by Zoom at 4:00 pm for one hour. Order your book now to be ready. See the information about this book in the Chapel Chimes.
I will be on vacation beginning January 17th through the 24th. If you have an emergency and need pastoral care during this time, please call Pastor Rosemary Landry at 707-459-2855.
I know this has been a crazy two years with many challenges, but we will make it through together. Please reach out to me or each other if you need a listening ear. Remember, God is our rock, our strong foundation and our shelter. Our caring community is one of the ways God demonstrates this.
Shalom,
Pastor Michele

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.
