Easter Blessings

Easter Blessings to you all,

What a meaningful Lent and Holy Week we shared.  We now begin our six week celebration of Easter.  This is my favorite season of the church year because through the scriptures, music, prayers, and classes, we too are invited to be part of God's resurrection movement.

Speaking of new life, I want to invite you to be part of our spring UUMC-U-On Wednesday series that begins April 2.  We share dinner at 5:30 p.m., and classes for all ages from 6:30 p.m. --7:30 p.m.  We are featuring new classes, old favorites, and preparations for our children's pageant on May 18.  First, let me review the schedule with you.

March 26--No UUMC-U-On Wednesday  (UUMC choirs, puppets, and Wesley are still meeting).
April 2--Spring UUMC-U-On Wednesday schedule begins.
April 9--No UUMC-U-On Wednesday  (UUMC choirs, and Wesley still meeting.)  Spring Break for area schools.
April 16--UUMC-U-On Wednesday resumes and continues through May 14.

Please read through our exciting spring offerings below and find a place that you feel drawn to participate.  May our Wednesday nights be a place where we connect with each other, and God's resurrection spirit.

Peace be with you,

Alice Townley
Interim pastor
