What's in store for March 2010The Worship Team and the minister are experimenting this month with a thematic approach to worship. Appropriately enough, the chosen theme is "Change." Each Sunday's focus will center on some dimension of change. Robert Flynn: If anyone still has the same ideas, perceptions of reality, same thoughts, same faith they had when they were 16, I consider that person dangerous. Change is one of the signs of life. If something doesn't change it's usually dead.

Saturday, March 20 UUWaco P.T. Barnum Fellowship Hall Members and friends alike are invited to a “Breakthrough Thinking Day” at the Fellowship!
Lunch – 12 to 1 p.m. | Workshop – 1 to 5 p.m. Reception at 5 p.m.
UUWaco's Board of Directors knows that it is time to review and assess who we are, what our purpose is, and imagine the possibilities as a religious organization. It is time for us to DREAM, folks!
It’s time to decide how we will “live out” our UUWaco principles and values. It’s time to plan on how we will demonstrate our principles -- what we stand for -- to those outside our doors. To do this, members and friends alike are asked to come together to develop a collective Vision that we all agree with and support. That is why our 3/20 Vision Workshop is the most important initial step of a three-step planning process. Read more...

The last three weeks have seen big generosity at UUWaco, from kids and adults alike. On Super Bowl Sunday, UUWaco continued its seven-year tradition of taking up a special offering to be donated to a local charity for the Souper Bowl of Caring. This year we added $355 in cash to our Cereal Sunday donation to Waco food bank Caritas, bringing our total donations (over the seven-year period) to more than $1,000. Last week also saw UUWaco Treasurer Joe Ahlers making microloans to many of our younger members - each willing family received $20. The kids (with a little help from their parents) used ther money to purchase supplies for a Valentine's Day Bake Sale. With an outlay of $120, our younger congregants created beautiful treats ranging from the edible (sweet treats of every nature) to the imbibable (hot cocoa and marshmallows) to the wearable (clay-and-bead heart charms), which were offered for sale before and after the Valentine's Day service.
