Hello friends,
Grace and peace to you on this sunny and beautiful day. I hope you are well. There is much to share with you this week.
I am hoping this Sunday we will be outdoors again. The weather is forecast to be beautiful.
Tomorrow, Thursday the 23rd, Methodist Mentors and UMW are gathering on the parsonage porch at 5:15 to discuss the opportunity of mentoring families in transitional housing. Sage Wolf and Jen from Building Bridges Homeless Resource Center will help us to brainstorm how to be invitational with the families, what the mentoring/relationship building might look like, and how to mentor safely during a time of pandemic. If you prefer to zoom in, you can do so with this link: us02web.zoom.us/j/82138838362?pwd=aUM4Tmg4U3Rwc1IxaitpN1haMkZmQT09
Meeting ID: 821 3883 8362
Passcode: 138245
Book study is Thursday at 4:00 pm. We will be discussing chapter 2 of Christ in Crisis: Reclaiming Jesus in a Time of Fear, Hate, and Violence. The zoom link is: us02web.zoom.us/j/88929601023?pwd=eS82U25NNXhQYUUwN3QrV3pXeVdkQT09
Meeting ID: 889 2960 1023

Join us Thursdays at 9:00 am and Saturdays at 8:00 am for gentle meditative yoga at McGarvey Park. We meet under the trees on the corner of Bush and Stephenson.
Saturdays at 10:00 am is time for Explore Archery. Come join the fun as Bethany leads the group in the social hall. The entrance is from the alley sidewalk on Pine St. on the southeast side of the church.
As promised, here is the link to information about Climate Justice for All that I spoke about last Sunday: www.umnews.org/en/news/young-methodists-raising-climate-change-awareness
Most folks were sent an email from Jone this week regarding needs for our upcoming fundraiser. She has only heard back from a few people. If you didn't receive it, you may want to check your spam folder. You can contact Jone.
This Sunday is our collection Sunday for TerraCycle and the food bank. Bring your items to church. A complete list of items we can accept for recycling is available in our resource folder (click here: bit.ly/3hOb4je). If you have questions, Bethany is happy to answer them by email at activities@ukiahumc.org.
Be well, and make sure to find time to intentionally connect with God with whatever spiritual practice brings you delight.
Shalom,
Pastor Michele

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.
