ANNOUNCEMENTS

The NOAH Education Task Force wants to make sure we get some people to the Metro Nashville Public Schools Superintendent job interviews. Please read below and let us know if you can make it to one of these nights. Thank you!

Join us in supporting our homeless neighbors!

This month’s Share the Plate organization is Room In The Inn (RITI). On the first Thursday of every month in the winter, GNUUC has been providing shelter for eight unhoused guests. Winter is deadly for people without permanent housing. By opening our doors, serving dinner, offering a safe, warm place for the night, serving breakfast and providing a bagged lunch, we make a difference and improve the lives of some of our most vulnerable neighbors. Money collected will be used to replace air beds, buy warm socks, and purchase other necessities for our guests. You can make even more of a difference by volunteering to help! Come make beds, serve a meal, drive, clean up. This is a great family volunteer opportunity! Contact Jesse Spencer-Smith, Coordinator jesse.spencersmith@gmail.com, 217-377-4867 to volunteer.

GNUUC has raised $2,196 for Nashville Cares, with their matching. Thank you GNUUC members!! Our volunteers at the GNUUC AIDS Walk community outreach booth were: Elizabeth Marlowe, David Frese, Charles S., Wendy S. Alexander, Nancy C., and Doug L.. (See booth photo.) Kristin and Nathanael R., and Kris T., assisted in preparing and organizing GNUUC materials for the booth.

The weather was perfect, with a lot of visitors to the booth asking about GNUUC and UU’ism, and with conversations with people staffing other organizations’ booths. Our gratitude to all who represented us there, as the Welcoming Community that we are, and as GNUUC, a Unitarian Universalist congregation.

Credo invites youth (and other visitors) to attend the discussion on October 6 at 9:30. We will discuss the Sunrise Movement which is a movement by you to get the older generations to work to save the planet.

Great News !!! GNUUC has raised over $1000, so we have a booth at the Fair. With the recent Nashville Cares challenge matching, we have raised a total of $2,196 for Nashville Cares. Thank you GNUUC members!! Come visit our Fair booth, hear the musical entertainment. Open 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. (map of booth locations, follows). 

Our Share the Plate recipient this month is The Sunrise Movement.
