Open Door: Books and Magazines WantedUUMC’s new Saturday morning library has been so popular that we are out of material. Do you have books or magazines to share with the unhoused neighbors who visit Open Door and Fig Leaf? Consider donating them! Our guests enjoy popular fiction, nonfiction, general-interest magazines, and religious publications, in English and Spanish. We also see demand for children’s books. Please refrain from offering textbooks, academic or professional journals, or anything you wouldn't consider reading yourself. Boxes of books and magazines may be left in the first-floor elevator lobby, near the bins for clothing donations. Thank you! |

Join us for worship this Sunday! It’s the middle of summer and Pastor Teresa’s sermon is entitled “Family Road Trip!” We will hear a New Testament lesson about Jesus calling the disciples and we will consider God’s call on our own life. With the changing landscape of religion in our culture, the metaphor of being on a road trip just might provide some helpful lessons! We’re glad to have our Sanctuary Choir back with us and we will continue singing some of the hymns you requested earlier this summer.
