ANNOUNCEMENTS AND UPCOMING EVENTS

UU Revival Service: An Old-time Revival at the Santa Rosa UU Church, November 9, 11 am
Personal invitation from Rev. Chris Bell, UU Santa Rosa:

Let me warmly invite you to come up to Santa Rosa this Sunday to join your fellow UUs from Napa, Marin and Sonoma counties for a post-election celebration of our hopeful vision of the world, and the inclusive, unifying faith that sustains it. Regardless of whether you experience triumph or despair on November 4th, this music-filled service with our UU brothers and sisters from the North Bay will surely renew your faith in the good, the sacred, and each other. Please come early, for it will likely be standing-room (perhaps dancing-room?) only, and we'll start at 10:40 with a big hymn sing-along. Also, a catered lunch will be available after the service for $5. Please, come meet old friends and new. I hope to see you there! -- Rev. Chris Bell

Four ministers who serve North Bay congregations are planning a Revival Service on November 9, and members of UUP are invited. The four ministers will offer a music filled service with four short homilies: Rev. Lisa Presley of the Marin UU church will speak on the need for UU'ism in our world; Rev, Bonnie Dlott of the Napa UU's will speak about how her life was saved by UU'ism; the Rev. Ben Kocs-Meyers, who helps the Lake County group, will speak on why we teach UU values to our children; and the Rev. Chris Bell of the Santa Rosa church will speak on UU's saving message. Religious education and childcare will be provided. Afterwards, everyone is welcome to stay for a catered lunch. The purpose for this revival is to build connections between the North Bay congregations, in order to create future collaboration. UUP will be represented by our President, Jean Conrad. Contact Jean for possible carpooling or for more information.

Holiday Fundraiser for our high school age youth
Our high school youth will be selling Holiday Cards at UUP after the services, beginning on November 16. If you're thinking about buying cards this year, please consider buying from our youth. Our youth are also planning to create gift bags and gift tags, for sale in December. Proceeds from the sales will help pay for their Coming of Age Program, a series of retreats and UUP youth activities. Many thanks to Susan Price, KC Greaney, Ellen Beeler and Carol West for their support of this fundraiser at last Sunday's card making workshop. Also, special thanks to Rosemary Dodd and Ashley West for their artistic assistance.

UPCOMING SUNDAY SERVICES(Social time with refreshments begins at 10:00 am, at the Petaluma Woman's Club, 518 B Street. Worship service begins at 10:30 am.)
