Ingathering & Water Communion

Come join our Service this Sunday, September 11th, 11am by Zoom or in person wearing an N95 or KN95 mask.

This is our annual in-gathering/water communion service. We welcome new and returning members and friends to the fellowship to celebrate the beginning of a new year.

If you have a special place or event that can be represented by water, bring a small amount of water as a prompt to talk about that special place or event. (Or use the water tap at the UUFA to generate your prompt.)

The service, to be lead by Susan and Richard, will include live music, a new member ceremony, and our traditional UU water communion.

MASK NOTES: Our board is still requiring KN95 or N95 masks (NO FABRIC MASKS, and no surgical masks, either) of folks entering the building for Sunday services or to use the restroom when we have outdoor events.We have many folks who truly appreciate us flipping the “usual narrative.” Usually Zoom is for those who are at risk where in-person places are not safe for them. At the fellowship, we’re doing Zoom for anyone who doesn’t want to wear a nk95 or n95 mask thus keeping the fellowship safe for the most vulnerable.We do, however, allow our presenters to unmask when speaking in the front of the fellowship. Some choose to stay masked.

GREENSHEET NOTE:

If you ever don’t receive this Greensheet newsletter in your inbox, you’re not alone.

The WordPress system we use for both our website (www.uuathensoh.org) and our Greensheet sometimes stops sending the Greensheet to an email address. We have no clue why. Yes, we’ve asked people to check their spam folders, but the Greensheet emails aren’t there.

If you don’t receive the Greensheet, please let us know. We’ll trick the system by deleting you and then re-adding you. Please know you can ALWAYS read the Greensheet online at http://uuathensoh.org/home/the-greensheet/ AND, if you have a Facebook account, you can see our latest news on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/uuathensoh
