Sometimes when we’re working hard to change the way things are, we feel like we’re alone. We feel like making mistakes will be devastating. But we can choose to look around and notice that we are actually not alone, that others are there with us, others have walked our path before us and we can learn from their mistakes and the miracles and connections that made their journey possible. Join us as we explore this in our own lives and the life of our congregation as we kick off our reading of Mistakes and Miracles.

February’s Share the Plate has a Matching Challenge to Create a UUCOD Scholarship for Safe Schools Desert Cities.
Our beloved community will have the unique opportunity to sponsor its own scholarship for Safe Schools Desert Cities. Two members have generously issued a $500 matching challenge to fully fund a $1000 scholarship. This means if we collect $500 from the offering, they will match it with $500. If we raise a minimum of $1000, a scholarship will be listed as sponsored by UUCOD. How cool is that!
