Memorial Service Team

We are building a new team of volunteers to greet, usher, and help with reception needs at member memorial services. Supporting our members and their families at a time of loss is a beautiful act of love and kindness. If you would like to be added to the list to be called upon to help at this tender time, please contact Tina Lewis at tlewis@dupageuuchurch.org for more information.

Coffee Crew Volunteers Needed

Support a warm and inviting experience for all on Sunday mornings by signing up to help with refreshments. It's easy, it's fun, and it's welcoming! Please sign up to help on the Sign-Up Genius Schedule here. And thank you. May your contributions brighten Sunday morning and make you feel really good!

April Special Offering to Benefit HOPE Fair Housing

During April 2024 the Special Offering will benefit HOPE Fair Housing nominated by Barbara Roos. Hope Fair Housing Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating housing discrimination across Illinois since 1968. Based in Wheaton, IL Hope Fair Housing serves over 30 counties in Northern and North Central Illinois. Hope Fair Housing Center works to create greater housing opportunities for all so that everyone has a chance to live in the community/home/apartment of their choice free from discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, familial status, or any other characteristics protected under state or local laws. Hope accomplishes this through education, outreach, enforcement, training, and advocacy. For more information about HOPE, visit their website at https://hopefair.org.

PASSOVER SEDER 

APRIL 21 at 5:00 PM  

The DUUC Jewish Heritage Group celebrates the meaning of Jewish Heritage in a Unitarian Universalist context. Many participants grew up in a Jewish home or have a partner who was raised in a Jewish family. Other participants developed a practice of celebrating Jewish holidays as adults or have a particular interest in Judaism. We welcome anyone who wishes to participate in traditional Jewish celebrations or other Jewish oriented activities. Please contact Bev Becker if you would like to join in the activities of the Jewish Heritage Group by sending an email to jewishheritage@dupageuuchurch.org. The annual Jewish Heritage Group Passover Seder will be on Sunday, April 21 at 5:00 PM in Kreves Hall. Contact Bev to sign up to attend the Seder and to decide on the food/drink you might contribute to the festive meal. 

Sunday Flowers Needed 

Celebrate a person or event by providing flowers for a Sunday service. Flowers are needed for various dates throughout the summer months. You may request to have Sunday Flowers order a $35 standard arrangement for you from Phillip’s Flowers. Or, if you are planning to attend the service in person, you may choose to bring in your own arrangement from your garden or favorite flower shop. The arrangement should be brought to the sanctuary by 8:50 a.m. Your dedication will be printed in the email with the link to the on-line version of the Order of Service as well as in the printed Order of Service.  The flowers are yours to take home after the second service. If you are not attending service that day, you may contact Sheri office@dupageuuchurch.org or (630) 505-9408 to make arrangements for pick-up during office hours. Payment may be made by sending a check made out to DUUC for $35 to the church office (write “flowers” on the memo line), through the DUUC Payment Portal (select “other” under donation, and write in “flowers”), or VANCO (select “flowers fund”). Contact Kristen Tang flowers@dupageuuchurch.org or (630) 305-7771 for more information and/or to request a date. Thank you!
