Call for Submissions of Art!

 

The Baja 4 is planning a Worship service on the theme "Faith, Hope & Love" and we want images (photos) of your art!

 

We are collecting the images of art from members of our congregations that are focused on these three words identifying what is vital to the health of communities of faith. Our plan is to collect original materials from each of our congregations to form a worshipful collage naming each of these qualities, as well as their collective meaning within our UU community.

 

**Deadline** May 27 at noon

 

If you or your children have art (or questions!), please email Jamili at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

How to Give to the Church

 

You are asked to use our credit card service (which can be reached by the link or the On-line Giving button on our website), the very easy to use Text-to-Give (1-833-361-5796), or checks sent to the office. The on-line giving gives you the option to identify the contribution and use the memo line for checks. A tutorial video on Text-to-Give is here. After setting up an initial “profile” these options are easy to use for subsequent donations.

UUCT Book Club

 

The UUCT Book Club has selected the books for June, and July, so that participants will have time to acquire and read the books.

 

 

 

June 10, 2021: A Woman of No Importance: The Untold Story of the American Spy Who Helped Win World War II by Sonia Purnell, copyright 2019

The story of “the Coolheaded, One-Legged Spy Who Changed the Course of World War II”

 

July 8, 2021: The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo, copyright 2019 Excerpts from Kirkus Review: A young houseboy and a dressmaker's apprentice get drawn into a mystery in 1930s Malaya [Colonial Malaysia]. Choo (The Ghost Bride, 2013) continues her exploration of Malayan folklore here with questions that point to the borders where the magical and the real overlap: Choo weaves her research in with a feather-light touch, and readers will be so caught up in the natural and supernatural intrigue that the serious themes here about colonialism and power dynamics, about gender and class, are absorbed with equal delicacy.

 

 

We meet online the 2nd Thursday of the month at 9:30am.
