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.

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.

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.

Memorial Service Dates

A memorial service for Eric Scheib will be held at the church on Saturday, April 11th at 4:00 pm with a reception to follow.

We will celebrate the life of long-time member Larry Beyer on Saturday, April 18th with a 10:00 am visitation, 11:00 am service, and a reception to follow on the lower level. More information will be available in the April edition of The Reporter.

"Venturing Out"

Rev. Bran Lennox

A lesser-known part of the Palm Sunday story leads us to consider what it takes to have the courage to what needs to be done, even when we are desperately afraid. In the face of the impossible, where can we find strength?
