Congregational Meeting

There will be a congregational meeting on Sunday June 1st at 12:30 pm in the sanctuary. All members and friends are invited. The two items of business for the meeting will be

  1. to elect new board members, and
  2. to approval the operating budget of the church for next year (July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2009).

UUCSV Bylaws specify that this annual meeting be held each year. Members of the congregation are eligible to vote on church business and will be notified of the meeting by mail in accordance with our Bylaws.
 

Room in the Inn

Friday, Apr 25

Winter, spring, or summer, there’s never a good time to be homeless. Regardless of the weather, these folks are in need. The Room in the Inn program offers temporary shelter year-round. Every day of the week, some church in WNC serves as host for 12 homeless women.

On Friday, April 25th you have a chance to show you care. Please consider pitching in to help UUCSV provide all the volunteers and meals for that day. We will need volunteers and backups for all positions (morning and evening van drivers, overnight volunteers, servers for dinner). A sign up sheet is available in the foyer. This event will take place at the Black Mountain Presbyterian Church annex.

Due to environmental concerns, we encourage all those providing food to use locally produced products and reusable containers whenever possible.
 

Trillium - Festival of Follies and Flings

Saturday, April 19, 8:30 am to 3:00 pm

Rain or shine here at UUCSV. This will offer giggles, games, and fun for folks of all ages. Admission is free with a small charge for games and contest. Events will include live music, door prizes, rummage sale, bake sale, plant sale—including trilliums, and cake walks. The ever-popular Men’s Gorgeous Legs contest will return at noon.

This year we’re adding the Fancy Hat Contest with judging to take place at 1 pm. You need not be present to win. Children and adults are welcome to enter a hat. There is a $1.50 entry charge for children and $4 for adults. The hat can be one you’ve especially decorated or made, purchased, or borrowed from someone else.

All profits from Trillium will go to our partner church in Medeser, Romania for the health and education needs of the residents. Anyone with questions about Trillium should contact Dawn Wilson.

Welcoming Congregation

The Unitarian Universalist Association in Boston has approved and officially designated us a Welcoming Congregation, meaning that bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender persons are full, active, affirmed, and celebrated parts of our UUCSV faith community.

Note: As part of our Green Sanctuary process, please bring your own dinnerware & plates. If you forget, we'll have some on hand.
