WELCOME
We welcome you this morning – from first time visitors to long
time members and friends. WeÕd like to remind you that wearing a name tag gives
everyone a chance to greet you by name, and helps newcomers feel more at home. Thanks
to our ushers, greeters and members of the Welcome Team.
Our services are also audio-transmitted to the Parlor, next to the
Great Hall. With toys and comfortable furniture, this is a good space for
parents to hear the service if a baby or young child needs to be active. Please
remember that some in the congregation, particularly those with hearing loss,
may have trouble listening if there are distractions in the Great Hall.
Please join us for coffee and our Partner
Church Bake Sale in the Parlor, after each service, hosted by the Partner
Church Committee.
MUSIC
TodayÕs
service was designed by David Mix Barrington and Mike Nagy, who are grateful to
Unitarian Society members Elaine Apthorp and Arjuna Greist for their
contributions.
