Hi everyone!
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and are enjoying your break from school.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Holiday Worship for Chapel Service. I heard rave reviews! You guys are the best!!
REUNION LOCK-IN
This Wednesday, December 29th from 7:30 pm to 9:00am the next morning.
Those of you with older brothers or sisters please invite them back, and those of you who facebook with alumi please invite them! We will honor Roy in a special worship. Lets focus on past memories and things that make Roy special. Perhaps we can light a candle for each trait that makes Roy great: loyal, loving, funny, prepared...etc. Please put some thought into it and we will plan at the beginning of the lock-in.
Also I am hoping you won't mind helping to put the holiday decorations away. 30 minutes at the most! Then we can have fun, fun, fun... I will attach the permission slip to the e-mail blast.
SUNDAY, JANUARY 2
Regular meeting at 10:30am.
See you soon!!

Hey everyone!
It is going to be a busy Sunday!!
Meeting at 10:30am will be for planning the Holiday worship/workshop that you will present to the K-6th grade kids on December 12th. I hope the worship team leaders have some ideas! Luan, Joe, Mike and Pam will be with you to help with some ideas. This is the only week to plan so it has to get done!! Each holiday will have 15 minutes to give a brief explanantion, demonstrate a ritual, and do an activity. At the end something should be said about UU's respecting and celebrating the beauty of all religions and their rituals, etc. We are looking forward to hearing your ideas!!
Let's sell coffee!! We got a new shipment of coffee so let's sell it after the service. Probably just need two youth to do that- remind people it would make great stocking stuffers, or gifts for people at work!
DROP! SHOP! & WRAP!
From 12-4:30pm. I am a little worried as I have only gotten 1 RSVP. I sent out another e-mail reminder and begged people to RSVP- so I don't know....If we don't have any kids then let's still use the afternoon to our advantage and start working on the celebration for Roy and Youth Sunday. You will be surprised at how much can be accomplished in a few hours!
Thanks you to those of you who helped with the Fair Trade Faire. It was a great success!!
See you SUnday!!

After church is the Midwest Ballet's performance of the Nutcracker. Luan had mentioned last week that she could take a few of you who may be interested in seeing it. Luan sends her apologies but she has a prior commitment and will not be free on Sunday afternoon. If any of you are interested in attending, check out www.midwestballet.org for more info and maybe you can organize carpooling among yourselves. If not please shout out a "break a leg" message to Lydia!

Happy Halloween!!
Pam needs your help in Chapel Service. The chapel kids will be having a Halloween fun fair with a variety of games. It would be great if you youth would work the games and pass out the prizes. The younger kids love any attention they get from older youth and it will be a fun way for you to get to know some of them. When everyone has had enough time to play you can meet together to check in, talk about the wall mural, work on Roy's bandanas, etc. Please let Pam know you are willing to help- it would be great if you could be at church around 10:20am. See you Sunday!!
