Additional Announcements for Sunday, October 2nd

JUDGE JOAN SYNENBERG of the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, is the MENS' Forum Speaker at 9:30am next Sunday, October 9. Judge Joan Synenberg says that there is no room for politics on the bench. Her philosophy is that people are complex and that the "Law invites you to take a look at them individually." All are welcome to hear this engaging and accomplished woman.

RECYCLING, READY OR NOT: Some people are more commited to earth-friendly policies than others but everyone at UCUMC needs to be aware of a few practices in place here. The main office has blue "waste cans" which are used for recycling paper and cardboard only. A blue container between the kitchenette and Reception Room is for plastic, glass and cans only; please do not place paper or garbage in this container. Finally, you may place any unwanted portions of your worship bulletin into a tall basket at the back of the sanctuary or in the main hallway or office. Thank you for your cooperation!

UNIVERSITY CIRCLE UMC T-SHIRTS are $10 each. Our additional sizes in the correct color have arrived! Please stop by the church office if you would like to purchase shirts.

The Life of Galileo UCUMC Night at the Cleveland Playhouse

The Life of Galileo
UCUMC Night at the Cleveland Playhouse: Tuesday, October 4, 7pm
Evening Discussion with Nathan Motta: Wednesday, October 19, 6pm

Contact Casandra Wheeler at the Cleveland Playhouse (216-795-7000 x180) if you are still interested in attending The Life of Galileo. Tickets at our group rate of $34 may still be available and must be purchased directly from the Playhouse. Galileo's passion to unearth truth through science clashes with the laws of the Italian Government and the religious views of the Vatican. Galileo pursues his research no matter what the cost to his family. Finally, Galileo must choose between his life and proclaiming the truth of his scientific findings. Discussion at 6pm.

A Wednesday evening program on October 19 will provide an opportunity for everyone (whether you've seen the play or not!) to gather for a presentation and dialogue about Galileo, his revolutionary ideas and the conflict between reason and faith!

ADMINISTRATIVE NEWS UPDATE FROM KAY HOGG FOR SEPT. 25TH

Hopefully this information will update you on just a few of the physical changes underway at UCUMC. If you have any questions, please contact Kay Hogg at khogg@churchinthecircle.com or 216-421-1200, ext. 11.

Steeple, Roofs, Masonry and Water Problems
Our steeple roof was damaged in a spring windstorm and it has been repaired mostly with insurance funds. While workers were on the steeple, the tower lights were replaced and the walkway around the steeple and additional masonry work are also undergoing repairs.

First Floor Men's Room and Isaac Morris Room Construction
Work is now underway and should be finished this week.

Lower Entrance and First-floor Hallways & Miscellaneous Items
1. A new entrance for the ladies' room on the main level has been completed. New hallway carpeting should be installed this week and the paneled wall in the reception room has been painted.
2. New coat racks will be installed where the moveable racks are now located and new bulletin boards will be hung in the area by the new water fountain. (The wall behind the water fountain will also be painted to match the rest of the walls.)
3. A "rotating art" program is being organized to allow different types of artwork to be shown on walls of both hallways as sort of a traveling art gallery concept. There is no cost to the church and it will benefit artists with a local connection. We will have work of Artist Ron Beckham on display beginning in November for at least two months. More information will be provided in the weeks ahead.
4. Striping of our gym floor has been completed.
5. Our electronic sign is still scheduled for installation but once again we've experienced some delays. We are hoping to see it appear in our front lawn in October!
