SUPPORT EMERSON UU COMMUNITY

Your individual donations of time, talent and treasure make it possible for Emerson to continue to thrive. Your Ideas & Help are wanted to plan, host and enjoy Emerson’s Fall Fun(d)raiser:  Festival & Auction.  The Fundraiser event has been postponed to allow for more time to prepare, particularly for you to donate items, events, or services to auction.  The new date will be announced soon. Join the fun and help raise funds for Emerson!   READ MORE HERE. For more information and to RSVP go to https://emersonuuchurch.breezechms.com/form/d9fc5525 If you have some ideas (great or small) about how to make the event even better this year, join our Fall Fundraiser planning team on Mondays from 6:30 – 7:30 pm on Zoom 2.

Share the Plate Sunday Collection:   As part of our commitment to serve our community, we share half our offering with local organizations whose work furthers our mission. October Share the Plate Recipient: West Valley Food Pantry.  At the West Valley Food Pantry, no one goes away hungry. We innovatively end hunger by operating a drive-through food pantry five days a week. On a weekly basis, our dedicated staff and volunteers pick up about 15,000 pounds of food from our grocery partners. Additionally, we operate a senior food delivery program for more than 600 seniors a month, and provide shelf stable food for people experiencing homelessness that visit the West Valley Food Pantry. www.westvalleyfoodpantry.org

Most needed: cash donations and single serve, ready to eat, UNEXPIRED food items. You may bring your donations to Emerson or to the Food Pantry (it is a few miles southwest of Emerson and typically open weekday mornings – check their website for updated times).  Home page of West Valley Food Pantry’s website:  https://www.westvalleyfoodpantry.org/

TECH ASSOCIATES NEEDED!

If you’ve attended Emerson Sunday Worship on Zoom, you have no doubt noticed the many different elements – both live and recorded – that come together to make up the service.  The Tech Associate is key to presenting a professional and worshipful online service. Emerson’s Tech Associates are volunteers who step up when guest speakers take to the virtual pulpit to produce the service, coordinating the sequence of elements, including live video and PowerPoint slideshow.  If you are familiar with PowerPoint, or live online meeting platforms, and would like to help with presenting Sunday services, contact our office at office@emersonuuc.org

Bear Hugs From Camp de Benneville Pines
to Donate Please Click Here

We believe in the power of love, community, and the transformative impact of nature. Camp de Benneville Pines has been a sanctuary for campers of all ages, providing a space where friendships are forged, spirits are renewed, and lasting memories are created. Even before the fires, pandemic and inflation, the Camp was not able to balance its budget on camper fee revenues alone, since we charge less than the cost so that everyone can participate.  We ask you to join us in this heartfelt appeal to ensure that Bear Hugs From Camp continue to be shared for generations to come.  For More Information on How You Can Help or to Donate Please Click Here
