UCUMC Remembers SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11. Please join us.

Worship in the sanctuary at 11am
Participate in numerous opportunities following the service

WORSHIP
Return to the main sanctuary and to an 11am service time as we share a Service of Remembrance honoring the tenth anniversary of the loss of American lives at New York City's World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, PA. Sunday School classes resume for children in grades K-5.

LADIES OF THE CHURCH
There will be a special budget meeting of the University Circle United Methodist Women in the Yoder Room following worship. After a brief dedication of this year’s pledges, the 2011 budget will be presented for discussion and approval. All ladies of the church are encouraged to attend this important meeting. The on-going special mission project, Little Dresses and Boys’ Shorts for Africa, will be on display. Copies of the budget are available today in the gymnasium following worship for your consideration prior to the meeting.

WILLOW SCHOOL TUTORS
Dan Maly is talking to individuals interested in making time to tutor young people at Willow School. The need is great and the impact is lifelong. Look for Dan in the Chapel following worship.

GAY-STRAIGHT ALLIANCE POTLUCK
GSA is Moving Forward! Three summer potlucks helped the group to organize and make progress in many exciting ways. Please join us! Four areas of interest are identified: 1) EDUCATION; 2) SUPPORT for LGBTQ persons/families/straight allies; 3) OUTREACH to the community; and 4) ADVOCACY for human rights. The next meeting is a potluck following worship to list specific programming (big or small!) we might consider. Please let the church office know if you'll be able to attend the meeting/potluck on September 11. If you cannot attend but are willing to send your ideas for specific activities and your areas of interest, that would be great. Thank you for your commitment to this group as we move forward! - Amy Wheatley, UCUMC Dir. of Education, 4wheatleys@sbcglobal.net.

MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUTH AND FAMILY ORIENTATION
Our Middle School Youth and Confirmation Program is expanding this year to include all 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. Lots of fun and meaningful activities are in the works! There will be an Orientation Session on September 11 for all interested Middle School Youth and their families immediately following worship in the Reception Room. A light lunch will be served, and the meeting should be completed by 1:15pm. Contact Rev. Sharon Seyfarth Garner with any questions.
