Tour
of Homes and Gardens
Saturday
March 27
3:00 - 4:30 pm
Each
year the Historic Savannah Foundation
partners with Christ Church Episcopal
to raise funds by offering a tour
of homes and gardens. This
tour directly benefits the Landmark
Historic District of which we are
a part. This year, Ivan Bailey
will give a talk on his unique ironwork. Since
he did both our chandelier and sconces,
and donated one of the sconces, we
feel it is appropriate to open our
doors to provide a venue for his
talk. Ardis Wood will be available
to open and close. No restrooms,
childcare, etc are needed. Only
the sanctuary will be opened.
$25 per person (donation
will be made to church)

The
Story Tellers Group...
...has been charged
with a new mission! In order
to be sure we always have a great
story to share, the group will be
facilitating the Moment
for All Ages portion
of the Sunday Service. They
will select stories that complement
the service topic, recruit a
corps of story tellers, then work
with them to ensure
each story is brief,
clear, and engaging to all ages.
The group will meet
the 1st Saturday of the month at
10:00 AM in Phillippa’s
Place. All
are welcome into the Story Tellers
Group, but you don’t have to
join the group to be a story teller
for the Moment
for All Ages. A
workshop to share effective methodology
to tell a great story will be held
in April for potential story tellers.
Mentors are also available to
work with new story tellers. So,
if you always wanted to try out your
skills as a story teller, here is
your chance! |

FOR INFO
Some further information
from the UUA website: Spirit
of Life program seeks to bring meaning,
beauty, inclusivity, and growth to
Unitarian Universalist adults as
they deepen their spiritual awareness
and connections. The Spirit of Life
program taps into one of the central
functions of religion, eloquently
described by minister Kendyl Gibbons:
how we, each of us, in our uniquely
constituted beings, recognize and
understand and make sense of that
unbidden, overwhelming awe at the
wonder, magnificence, danger, demand,
and delight of being alive.

All-Committee Night Tuesday,
Mar 23, 2009 at 6:00 pm. Childcare
Provided
6pm Dinner provided (thank
you, Membership Committee) ($5.00 donation requested) 6:45 Committee meetings
commence. 8pm Wrap up, head home by 8:20 or so... We have devised a great
way for committees to accomplish their vital work and at the
same time for new and more established members to get to know
one another, at All Committee Night, which is held the fourth
Tuesday of each month. We gather at six for fellowship and supper
(may we request a donation of $5.00 to cover costs?) Then after
a brief general "check-in,"
the committees break off for their individual meetings and return
after an hour or so to report. This is a church where individiuals
really can and do make a difference -- to the manner in which we
worship, to the social justice programs we pursue, and to the recreational
and fellowship activities that are such an integral part of our "family" life
together. CHURCH MEMBERS LOGIN TO SEE
