SHARE-THE-PLATE
Every month, we share our offerings with a community group whose mission is consonant with ours. This month we have selected UUPLAN. UUPLAN educates and communicates with our congregations and partners to inspire action. We promote our values to policy makers to advance just legislation. We  advocate for fairness and transparency in the democratic process.

SPEAKING IN WORSHIP
Calling on all church members who have, would like to, or are terrified of being up in front of the congregation during worship services!  On August 25 at 10:30, the Worship Committee will hold a workshop that will focus on being an effective speaker in worship.  We’ll work on projection, presence, authenticity, connecting with an audience, and (most importantly) enjoying the experience even if it is stressful.  The workshop will last 1 hour and will be led by Josh Searle-White and other members of the Worship Committee.  It is guaranteed to be a lively and interesting gathering, so please join us!  To register for the workshop (so we have an idea of how many materials to prepare), contact Jodi at the church.  If you have questions, contact Josh.  We look forward to seeing you there!

SOUP ON SATURDAYS  3:00-5:00 PM 

Join us in supporting the Meadville community with donating to Soup on Saturdays. We will be serving soups to the community.    We are looking for donations or soup ingredients (dry foods, stocks, cans and fresh veggies). We are also accepting any monetary donations.
