Union Church Book Group Gathering: Sept 8, after Church! Explore the intersection of faith and the wide scope of human endeavors. We’ll gather after church next week to decide our best meeting time and pick our first book! All guests, members, and friends are welcome to join in a community discussion of topics ranging from science to politics to arts and letters. If you have suggestions for interesting books, send them to Steve Rutledge who will help convene (and corral!) the group: srutledge@gmail.com.
Suggestions can also be sent or dropped off to the church office.
Community Meals Every Wednesday 5:30pm-6:30pm: “Open Table” is a “pay what you can” ($0-$$) catered meal open to anyone. Chef Deb Beishline and a wonderful crew of volunteers prepare the menu each week always with GF and Vegetarian-friendly options (other needs can be accommodated on request!). Our hope is to remember the gifts of connection with great food the chance to “rub elbows” with neighbors. The food is great, the company is better, the hungry are fed, and we pray the love Jesus will be shown!
