Brunch Church This Sunday!
@ 10:30 am (regular service time)
The gatherings of the earliest Christ followers centered primarily around a meal and conversation. What took place in those first-century gatherings resonates with the very nature of God and the Gospel—intimacy, inclusion, participation in community. This type of table fellowship was a way for authentic communion, authentic companionship to happen; in fact, breaking bread together is the root meaning of the word companion. This Sunday, we will participate in what has become known at UCOG as "Brunch Church"—not a potluck!—but a worship service designed so that we might replicate the experience of those early Christ followers and companion one another more authentically on our spiritual journey. Lots of people have worked very hard to bring this together—a special thank you to Brunch Church co-hosts Therese Finn and Liz Sackett, to all the table hosts, and to the many others who will help bring this about. Please make a special effort to join us! Could there be a better way to begin our national week of Thanksgiving? As the old hymn invites: Come Ye Thankful People, Come!

Special Advent Service with Community Song Leader, Josh Blaine
Sunday, December 15; 10:30 am at the Chamber
Song leader Josh Blaine is part of a growing worldwide movement of song leaders united in the idea that regardless of one's singing ability, community singing unites us. "I’m continually humbled by the power of sharing wholehearted singing with others," says Blaine. "Science tells us there are myriad health benefits; experience tells us that community singing is deeply nourishing in ways that transcend description." Josh, founder and leader of the community singing group, Finding Our Voice, has led dozens of community sings and workshops, organized overnight song gatherings, been the subject of an award-winning documentary, and generally worked to bring more singing into the everyday spaces of life. One of those places will be Unity Church of Georgetown as part of a special Advent service during our regular weekly gathering on Sunday, December 15th, 2019 at 10:30 am in the Chamber. Dan McMurrough and Rev. Linda experienced the power of Josh's community singing recently and have been working to get him to bring his healing, unifying songs and message to our church. Mark your calendars NOW so that you will not miss this very special service.
Are you interested in being a READER during the upcoming holiday season?
We are looking for a team of people we can call on when we have multiple readings during a Service. Most of the readings will be short, a few sentences to a short paragraph. If you are interested in being part of this team, please let Cathy know by emailing her here.
