Love our annual auction and the way it brings our community together? We are looking for an organized, energetic person to chair our EUUC 2027 April Auction.
You won’t be going it alone—you’ll step into a role supported by an experienced committee featuring past chairs Nancy Gladow and Barb Purn, along with tech wizard Dan Ford and others. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel; we have a complete Google document of last year’s meeting agendas and announcements ready to guide you. We already know how to put on a great auction—we just need you to help lead the fun!
Interested in keeping this wonderful tradition going? Please reach out to Nancy Gladow, Barb Purn, or Dan Ford.
Each year we decorate the chancel area in Chapman Hall with poinsettias which members can purchase to honor special people who are significant in their lives or to remember loved ones who have died. Plants are $20 each and can be taken home after the Christmas Eve service. Names of honorees will be projected on slides on Sundays in December.
Volunteers will be in the Narthex on Sundays starting on November 8 to take orders, or you may order online no later than Tuesday, December 1.
Looking for a simple, rewarding volunteer opportunity with no meetings and the flexibility to set your own service schedule? Consider joining the Greeters and Ushers!! Greeting is a wonderful way to welcome and connect with service attendees. For those who are less gregarious, ushering offers a chance to support the service by readying the sanctuary and helping congregants find a place to sit. Plus, you get to ring the gong – twice! If you’re interested, please email Keara through Breeze.

This is the fifth movie in our Reparations film series of 5 films.
This movie is described as “Fun as Hell, but It Tells Some Hard Truths. Ryan Coogler’s…film is an urgent rumination on race, past misdeeds, and unhealed wounds that still devour our body politic”, says Will Dukes.
Can you guess what it is? Please look in Circle and the Social Justice desk for more information about the movie.
Our own Cynthia Grace will lead us in discussion for discernment after the movie.
There will be popcorn and coffee. See you there. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.

The November Cause of the Month – Mother NationThe November Cause of the month is Mother Nation. Mother Nation provides culturally grounded advocacy, mentorship, healing, and support that uplift the well-being and success of Native American women and families.
They offer culturally informed healing services, advocacy, mentorship, and homelessness prevention across Washington State. There is support of Native and Indigenous women during times of transition—from chronic homelessness and gender-based violence to stable housing—by providing counseling, connection to social services, sisterhood, community, and spiritual support.
Their healing services are guided by credentialed Native American Elders who integrate culture with clinical practice. They honor traditional Native medicines and teachings, including prayer, stories, song, ceremony, art, kinship, humor, laughter, food, and earth-based knowledge.
“By acknowledging the past and reclaiming who we are as Native people, Indigenous women who participate in these programs transform their paths—stepping into leadership, healing, and wisdom rooted in ancestral strength.”
Thank you to Advocates for Women for bringing this organization to our attention.
