Dear Friends and UUCL
Family,
July 1 starts a new church
year, and
this letter marks my first official act as the new President of UUCL.
You can read more about the other changes in officers in my column,
Presidential Ponderings, in The Beacon newsletter, which will be posted later today.
As we begin this year, I extend my personal thanks,
as well as the thanks of the congregation, to all of the
officers, committee chairs,
interest group coordinators and volunteers who serve us. Without
their hard work there would be no UUCL. I am looking forward to
continuing our work and growth together.
Included in thanks is
everyone who
will be helping with this Sunday's special holiday service. We
are having a Patriotic Hymn Sing, come lend your voice to our songs
and fill your ears with the sounds of music.
That's only one of the
opportunities at UUCL this weekend, here are some others:
