September 29, 2024: “Question Box Service: What Do You Want to Know about Me?”
Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray
Sarah Barnett, Worship Associate
Since I am new here, I want you to have the chance to ask me burning questions you might have about me - they can be about my beliefs, my theology, my perspective on issues, how I lead, or what my favorite food is! I am excited to hear your questions. Check Friday updates for information on how to ask questions.

During the Offertory, you are invited to silently light a candle to represent a joy or sorrow in your life.
You are invited to participate in this morning’s offering by contributing as the basket passes or online at uucb.churchcenter.com/giving. You may make a non-pledge gift or a contribution towards your annual pledge, or both, at that site. This fiscal year, 25% of our non-pledge Sunday offerings will be donated to Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County to fund the installation of solar panels and energy monitoring systems and mandated radon testing in Habitat homes. The non-profit organization and its volunteers work to make more affordable, energy-efficient, and safe housing available locally. See monroecountyhabitat.org for more information.
