Hello friends,
It's a little cooler today. Hallelujah for cooler temperatures! Summer is definitely in full swing. I hope you are finding time for some recreation and relaxation somewhere in your week.
I want to send a reminder that masks are still to be worn in the sanctuary on Sunday mornings. Not everyone is medically able to get vaccinated, so we are still wearing masks to protect each other. We also have church members with family members who are immuno-compromised. The last thing we want to do is spread COVID to someone for whom the vaccine is not as reliable. The Delta variant has been verified to be in our county this week. It is much more contagious and is causing some breakthrough infections in people who have been fully vaccinated. It's possible to be a carrier (asymptomatic) and not even know it. This variant is affecting children who cannot yet get vaccinated. In Mississippi there are children in the ICU on ventilators with the Delta variant. Find the news report here: ( https://abcnews.go.com/US/mississippi-health-officials-warn-delta-surge-12-children/story?id=78828192 ) It is time to keep our protective measures in place and not let our guard down. Thank you for helping to protect our community.
Thursdays and Saturdays are for health and fun. Join us at McGarvey Park at 9:00 am on Thursdays and 8:00 am on Saturdays for gentle meditative yoga. Explore Archery is in the social hall Saturdays at 10:00. Maybe try both! (There will be no archery available on the 24th.) Contact Bethany or the office for information about archery.
Methodist Mentors are meeting at the Boys and Girls Club at 3:00 pm for our tour with Liz. We will meet outside on the south side and all go in together. Please remember your mask. If you are interested in joining us as a Methodist Mentor or want more information, just let me know. The address is: 1640 S State St.
We have been giving out masks at the church, and we need to replenish our stock. We have several kits left over from our mask making ministry for the hospital. If you have the time and energy to sew some more masks, you can pick up the kits on the parsonage porch or at church. Thank you for your help!
May you see the unfolding of each day as an opportunity to be in cahoots with God. Feel the nudging of the Creative Spirit in all you are and do.
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, coming in to meet people at times, and checking incoming Voice/E-mail.
. Please don't hesitate to contact them.
