March's Plate Recipient

The Harrisburg International Service Center (ISC) is a 501(c)(3) organization that was founded in 1976 to provide services to Vietnamese refugees in Central Pennsylvania. Today, it supports immigrants from around the world who have settled in our community. Among other things, ISC provides language, housing, health, orientation, and other services.

REMEMBER: Write “Plate” on your check’s memo if you want half of your gift to go to this month’s designated non-profit; write “Pledge” if you want it to count towards your annual pledge; checks with no memo designation will go to Unpledged Gifts and support the church’s operating budget.

Help Fill & Stuff Our Eggs

It’s almost time for our annual Easter Egg Hunt! We are looking for donations of small, individually wrapped candy and fun trinkets to fill eggs for the children in our community.

What we need: Small candies (nut-free, please), stickers, tattoos, small bouncy balls, or tiny toys.

Drop-off location: A collection bin can be found in the lower level just outside of Cory’s office.

Deadline: Please bring donations by March 22. Thank you for helping make this event special!

VOLUNTEER(S)TO STUFF EGGS! Contact Cory if you are interested, you may pick up the eggs and the fillers on Sun. March 22. Please bring the stuffed eggs back to church on Easter Sunday, April 5th.

Grounds & Gardens

Join the Grounds and Gardens Team for gardening and camaraderie! Our first work day of the year is Saturday, March 21. There’s lots to do to spruce up the grounds, and we need your help! Lunch will be served, but we need a head count. If you can make it, please sign up at this link or call or text Ellen Roane at 717-418-0751.

Annual Meeting

The annual congregational meeting is scheduled for Sunday, May 31. In addition to the required business of the church, members may request the addition of an item to the meeting agenda. To request the addition of an item to the annual meeting agenda please send an email to board@uchbg.org, or contact a board member directly. The email should include the topic/issue, the rationale for presenting it at the annual meeting, rather than a regular board meeting, and an estimate of the time needed for the agenda item.

Seeking GA Delegates

The UUA Annual General Assembly (GA) is coming up in June. This year they are planning a hybrid model where people can participate entirely online or can gather in person in satellite locations for portions of the program. The business portion of the meeting will be June 14-16 and the live programming and closing weekend is June 19-21. In between, people can take a break, travel to a location, or watch online sessions.

UCH is allowed five delegates to vote in the business portion of GA. If you are interested in being a delegate this year, please let Laura Shemick of the Leadership Development Team, know by April 15.
