INVITE FRIENDS AND ENJOY EXPO 2021! |

Please join the Leadership Development Team directly after today's service for Expo/Welcoming Sunday. Get a flavor for all that TUCW’s committees have to offer! Committee members will be available to share information about the amazing work their groups are doing. Come learn more about what you would like to get involved in --
In keeping with Covid protocols, tables will be outside, there won't be food or drink, and we ask all to wear masks. Still, nothing can dampen the energy of our community when we are together. Invite friends, come and connect!

For every Sunday, parents with infants - pre-K are welcome to bring their children into the sanctuary with them, or to sit in the foyer or library, where they can hear the service but have a bit more parenting flexibility. Our ushers can help them get settled. As always, please contact Heather Hamilton for information about pre-K to 7th grade programs; Nate Pawelek for 8th-12th grade programs.

PLEASE WEAR YOUR NAME BADGE! |
|
Misplace your name badge? We're starting to come together more in person, and it's really helpful for all of us - long-timers and newcomers - to wear a badge so we can know names and faces. We're a big congregation and after 18 months of being apart, reminders for us are even more helpful than ever.
The name badges are back out on the table for you to find on a Sunday morning. And if you need one made up, write your name on the clipboard near the badges, and we'll make sure you have one soon enough. Thank you!
|
|
Flowers: Should you wish to donate flowers for a Sunday to honor and celebrate in our community, please reach out to Diane Donahue. The Reservation Book is back out on the table, too. |
|
Pay it forward: please consider being a greeter on Sundays; help our new folks navigate our community. Sign up for virtual or in person greeting, HERE. Thank you, in advance! |
