Come on over for one, two or all three of these Wednesday evening gatherings, led by Liam Magistad and others:

▪ CONFLICT: “The Troubles” — July 15, 7:00 PM. Learn about the history of the conflict in Northern Ireland, listen to stories of Liam’s time there this Spring.  What can we learn from the way Irish Protestants and Catholics work to reconcile and build peace?

▪ COMMUNITY: SAP-CAN — August 12, 7:00 PM.  What is a Community Action Network?  Why are we being invited into this neighborhood initiative by the SAP Community Council? Whom will it serve?  What are the needs?  Come and learn about this model of mutual aid ... neighbors helping neighbors.

▪ CORN: Our Garden/Church Yard — August 26, 7:00 PM.  Lots of green things are growing here on our church grounds!  Come learn about them and find out about plans for the raised garden beds, a compost bin, and more that’s in the works.

Interfaith Action’s “School Tools” collects new backpacks and other essential school supplies for school children who are homeless and/or low-income.

Are you able and willing to donate any of the following?  Backpacks, 3-ring binders, Calculators, Spiral notebooks, Composition notebooks, Pencils, Pens, Markers, Folders, School boxes, Erasers, Highlighters, Pencil sharpeners, Colored pencils, Rulers, Glue sticks & bottles, Loose-leaf paper, Scissors, Crayons. Facial tissue, School boxes and Hand sanitizer are also needed. 

Please place items on the table in Fellowship Hall by Monday, August 17.

Financial donations are also welcome.  Make checks payable to SAPUCC with “School Tools" in the memo line.

It’s time to spiff up, clean up and tidy up the classrooms downstairs before the Fall program year begins. 

We’re looking for folks to vacuum, dust, rearrange furniture, and create welcoming spaces for our children and youth. 

It usually takes less than an hour.  Sunday, August 23, after the worship service. 

Thank you.

Members of the congregation are hosting Garden Visits at their homes. 

They willl share their learnings, experiments, and visions, and maybe get some gardening tips from you, too. 

Select Saturdays from 9:30 AM - Noon. Come as you are, drop in as your time allows. Contact the church office for the schedule and locations.

Enjoy.  

If you are navigating the complex realities of having an aging parent or parent-in-law or step-parent, you are not alone.

Gather with other SAPUCCers to give and receive support, have honest conversations, and share resources.

The support group, facilitated by Pastor Victoria, will next meet on Saturday morning, September 26, 10:00 AM
in the Parlor.

Victoria Downey leads "Little Kid Yoga" — stories, songs, movement, poses and togetherness!

For children ages 3 to 6 and their grown-ups. BYO yoga mat or borrow one of ours.

Little Kid Yoga is open to the community, free of charge.

Saturdays, 10:00-11:00 AM.

Our Godly Play classroom is for children in preschool thru 2nd grade.

The "Doorperson" greets each child and helps them get ready to enter the classroom.

The "Storyteller" tells the Bible story using the Godly Play curriculum, props, and the desert box, and then asks the children wondering questions. The class concludes with worktime and the feast.

Godly Play is a wonderful approach to faith formation thru storytelling.

Sundays, 9:15-10:15 AM, in the Godly Play classroom on the lower level.
