Gather Round with Circle Suppers

Circle Suppers are small group potlucks held in homes, hosted and attended by UUs. They are casual, friendly evenings for the whole family. Whether you’re new to our church or have been around forever, this is a great way to get better acquainted with the wonderful people of our congregation.

Circle Suppers are held on the first Saturday of each month and you can sign up to host or to attend. The host provides the place and drinks while the guests share in bringing the potluck dinner. Each supper will be a unique mixture of people and food. Attend every month or just occasionally.

To save your place in an upcoming supper, please sign up by the 15th of each month for the following month. Signups are available at the Hub Table in Fellowship Hall after Sunday service or by contacting Cindy Loui (cloui@comcast.netand Carol Osgood (carolosgood@yahoo.com).

Recycle Reading on Book Exchange Sunday

Join us this Sunday on March 22nd four our second Book Exchange Sunday (BES), an opportunity for our members – young and old – to bring a book (or two) to church and/or take home a book (or two). Here’s how it works:

On the fourth Sunday of the month, you are invited to bring in one or two books in good condition to donate. Table space and staff limits dictate this book limit. Set out books on the designated table in Fellowship Hall. Books can be for children, young adults, or older adults. You are also invited to take home a book or two that interests you.

At the end of the morning, any remaining books on the BES table will be donated to Books for Prisoners or the Urbana Free Library. BES will be repeated the fourth Sundays in April and May. Todd Kinney will staff the BES table in Fellowship Hall during these months.

You may donate books without taking any home and vice versa. Questions? Contact Peggy Patten at m-patten@sbcglobal.net.
