Please bring your Toy Donations to church this Sunday THROUGH December 14th or if you have difficulty getting them to church in a timely manner you can contact Faye Ferrell ferrellf8@gmail.com 201-7552 or Sherry Zerbe szerbe1@earthlink.net 718-7249 and we can make arrangements for pick up.

We will accept new or CLEAN, GENTLY used UNWRAPPED toys for Newborn to 12 years old. We often do not have adequate items for babies and older children. Babies can use diapers, wet wipes board books, rattles, rubber duckies, pull toys, stacking toys, soft balls and the like.

Preschool/kindergarten kids love cars and trucks, baby dolls and accessories, wooden puzzles, building blocks etc. Suggestions for older children: Regulation sized balls, Cosmetic Gift boxes, Journals, Picture Frames, Wallets, Watches, Advanced Puzzles, Strategy games, Scarves/gloves/hats; Gift Certificates (Best Buy/Half Price Books/Barnes and Noble, etc).

One more important note:  We will be collecting wrapping paper and tape on every Sunday between now and December 14.  At this time, all parents appear to be interested in selecting their children’s gifts and, therefore, there may be no gifts to wrap on the following Sunday.  Therefore, please bring in your wrapping paper donations early so we can provide these items to parent.

The following are the volunteer opportunities we need to fill for the CDD.  Below is the date, timeframe and number of people still needed.  You can volunteer for more than one area provided the times don’t overlap.  If you are interested in helping with any of these areas, please let us know by sending an email to christmasdinner@uucchc.org or by calling the CDD hotline at (317) 563-1396.  If you have questions or need more information, please contact Pat Pollack at patnumb1@aol.com.

The CDD committee thanks you for your support!

UUCC News September 24 14

What a turnout we had for our day of Teacher Training! Twenty dedicated volunteers spent 4 hours learning and collaborating together. These volunteers are proof that our church can rise to the occasion when needed! Why? We have 64 children and youth registered for Religious Exploration this year! See the RE bulletin board for pictures of our classroom teachers and (soon) class pictures.
Last week, our children and youth worked on covenants for their classrooms and learned some new routines for this year. Everyone is off to a great start.
Sept. 28th- Rosie Blankenship will be visiting all our RE classes to share how bee keeping has provided growth in many aspects of her life!
Oct. 5th- Intergenerational Service, “Outlawing of Jelly Beans and Other Injustices.” You won’t want to miss it! The service will be engaging for one and all. However, if your young one is struggling, we will have someone available downstairs to watch children.
Renee Bowman,
Director of Religious Exploration
