CUUB News
August 26, 2022

You have two ways to watch Sunday's service.  Join us at CUUB to watch in the sanctuary.  This will be the same live stream of the service but we will have the opportunity to be together.  So consider joining us at CUUB to watch together (Note that the Covid risk in Livingston County has increased to high, so masks are required the entire time in the building) or click on the link below (or on CUUB.org) to watch wherever you are.

An Injury to One is an Injury to All

Cal Frye

WA: Lee Anzicek

Such a popular idea, there are competing claims on who thought of making Labor Day a holiday. The development of the labor movement in the US is a story that still has relevance today, for workplaces, but also our communities and our congregations.

Your Facilities Team Asks

Can you come out Friday August 26th to Help

 

CUUB Members and Friends we are getting together starting at 5 PM to help make CUUB look better. The outside of our grounds needs some TLC.  The flower beds, woods and playground need your help to beat back the weeds. The interior of the building also needs some loving care as we get ready for fall visitors and friends. Churches always see and increase in attendance as families get back to school & regular schedules after summer ends. There will be work for all ages and abilities but no childcare.

So please put this on your calendar and come out to help make us proud of our beautiful building and property. We will be providing pizza and salad for the workers. Bring something to drink and a pair of your favorite gloves as we all pitch in to make CUUB the beautiful place it can be to grow spiritually and make a positive impact on our community.

We hope to see many of you Friday the 26th at 5 PM.


COVID Protection Policy 

The Board appreciates your continued flexibility as we progress through and eventually past this public health emergency.

CUUB will base masking requirements on CDC COVID-19 Community Levels, which are updated Thursday evenings by 8pm Eastern per the CDC website.

CUUB will post a color matched red/yellow/green sign on each main entry door and change as needed before the Sunday service.
  • HIGH (red) - full masking while in the building excepting those who have tested negative that morning or while stating Joys & Sorrows at the podium microphone.
  • MEDIUM (YELLOW) - "restaurant style" allowing additional unmasking in the building only while seated; coffee/snacks (etc.) are allowed to be consumed in the building while seated. Masks are required for singing (excepting "HIGH" precautions above)
  • LOW (Green) masks optional and recommended for attendees with additional health and safety concerns at their own discretion.

Livingston Diversity Council: We are now partners with them and have a nice plaque by the visitor sign-up sheet in the Gathering Room.

This Sunday, Aug. 28 will be the first Sunday when the Ministry Team asks for your input on updating our congregational covenant as specified by our Bylaws. Who are we? What promises do we make to each other to accomplish our mission? This should be a meaningful exercise moving forward together! Questions? Email ministry@cuub.org. See you Sunday!

CUUB Auction

The FACES team will once again be hosting CUUB’s Big Auction. This year it will be on November 20th after service at noon. We will have items for a silent auction and also wonderful items and offerings for the big auction.
We need everyone to think of an item or talent they could donate to CUUB for the auction. Could you make or bake something, teach a skill, offer an outing or your time that could be auctioned for the benefit of CUUB? Use your imagination! We would love to hear from you.
