The UUCG Endowment Board asks: How would you like to Win a 16G iPod Nano (with microshield case) worth $200? The UUCG Endowment Board is raffling off this wonderful prize to raise funds for the Endowment.

In their ongoing efforts to provide excellent and personal attention to members of UUCG, the Care Team has recently divided the congregation into geographic areas called “Care Rings”. Each UUCG member is assigned to a Care Ring, and each Care Team member will have responsibilities associated with a particular Care Ring. (“Friends” of UUCG are welcome to participate.) A Care Ring map has been posted in the church's main hallway, and each color coded pin represents the address of a member or “friend” and the Care Ring to which they belong.
