Blessing of the Animals
Kim Gosney
ALL BELOVED PETS ARE WELCOME!
You know your animal and what would make them comfortable around many other species and people - maybe a leash or a carrier.
You are also welcome to bring photos or a stuffed animal to represent your pet.

TO WELCOME THE STRANGER
Today James will explore the questions of diversity. He believes it is critical for us as a nation to be as open as possible, and he believes it is equally important for us as a congregation.

The Mountains Are Calling!
The Mountains Are Calling us.... calling us to come together for a party Sat May 14 at 5pm. Calling us to bid on dinners and outings with fellow PUCers; calling us to bid on services or items. Calling us to be a part of the grand annual PUC Auction! This year, a portion of the proceeds will go to the Craig Block Scholarship Fund at Camp de Benneville. The rest of the proceeds go directly to the operating fund of our beloved church.
A lovely meal will be provided by our Food Ministry and there will be a no-host beer and wine bar. Free childcare will also be available. Please RSVP by May 10 at the welcome table if you are interested in childcare that night.
The whispering winds are also calling you to: donate beer or wine, volunteer to bartend the night of the event, help during the live auction portion of the evening, sell raffle tickets and/or submit your event or offering up for auction!
Contact Jen Hocutt, Missy Rogers, Marlene Barone or Barbara Paulson to let us know how you will help or to ask any questions you may have. We look forward to spending the evening with you.

Potluck, Pledge & Pet Event
Sunday, April 24 During and After the Service
Get ready for one of the most fun Sundays of the year!
At PUC we all pitch in because that’s just the kind of people we are. And we’ve figured out it’s fun! Bring your potluck item and your pet this Sunday, and take this opportunity to get your very last minute pledge in. (We’ll hold the leash for you.)
Do you make a fantastic crock pot of chili, soup, or something else yummy? Are you known for your delicious side dishes or scrumptious desserts? Vegetarian and vegan options are always popular. Food Ministry will round it all out to make sure there is something for everyone! Drop your potluck contribution off in the kitchen when you arrive, and bring your well behaved pet to the service. Be sure to email Margo ahead of time at margomeikle@yahoo.com with your potluck contribution – and avoid 15 Mac & Cheese dinners!
