Minamahal na Mga Pamilya ng UUCMP,
Last Sunday we transitioned back to two services!  Although there were a few minor technical hiccups the day overall went smoothly.  It was nice to see so many families in attendance this Sunday and I even got to attend the first service mostly uninterrupted which was lovely.
This Sunday we will only have the 9:30 service, during the time for the second service we will have our Annual Connections Fair!  My staff will be available to supervise the kids while parents/caretakers have the opportunity to connect with the many clubs, committees and activities our church community has to offer.  If you have been curious about a group at church or wanting to find ways to connect this Sunday will be a time for connection.    Food, fun, laughter and learning are sure to be a part of this Sunday at UUCMP.If you want to go to the service, plan to attend the First Service at 9:30 am I will have staff available to supervise the kiddos – we will build blanket forts and stories this Sunday at the early service!  
Hope you are all having a good week!

Warmly,ShannonShannon Morrison (she/her)Director of Religious Exploration, UUCMP

? Gusto ba ng iyong anak na sindihan ang kalis? Tuwing Linggo ay sinisikap naming humanap ng isang bata o kabataang boluntaryong magsisindi ng kalis. Ito ay isang masayang paraan para sa mga bata na lumahok sa serbisyo. Maaaring ipakita ni DRE Shannon sa mga bata kung paano bago ang serbisyo kung ito ang kanilang unang pagkakataon o kailangan nila ng paalala. Tingnan si Shannon sa Linggo ng umaga kung interesado. Ang Chalice Lighting sign up sheet ay nasa RE table kasama ang aming mga supply ng pangkulay at tahimik na aktibidad. Mangyaring tiyaking i-sign up ang iyong anak kung interesado sila!
