Party
On Friday, February 4, we are having our 2nd Annual Party celebrating UUCC’s 53rd Birthday! Bax and Velvet Walker, owners of The Warehouse, are our hosts in this step-back-in time event. The Warehouse is sans alcohol—adult only—and great fun! This year’s musical theme is Patsy Cline. For those who didn’t get there last year, be sure you don’t miss this frolicking party on the 29th. Cost is $15 per person which covers pizza, soft drinks, a banana split, and loads of fun and entertainment.

Be My Secret Valentine
On Sunday February 13, after the worship service, participants in this intergenerational activity will enjoy a Valentine banana split while meeting their Secret Valentine. As we have in the past, adults and children will be paired to share a little companionship. Adults and children are asked to make or purchase a Valentine card for their Secret Valentine. The purpose of this activity is to increase connections among our differing age groups and create an opportunity for feelings of specialness.

Mulch & Pizza Party
On February 19th, please join us for a Mulch & Pizza Party! That’s not a typo. We did not intend to type munch and pizza. We really will have a mulch and pizza party at 9 am, February 19th.
Walt Jenison has done an outstanding job with the playground. What really challenged him, though was adding the mulch. What you see now represents about five truckloads of mulch—all picked up and spread by Angel Walt.
The playground needs several more loads of mulch. And so we ask you, the angels of pickup trucks to help transport mulch. And we ask you, the angels of pitchforks and rakes, to help us load and unload mulch on February 19th. Chattanooga’s best pizza and soda will be served to those attending this once–in–a–lifetime party. Time & Date: 9 am, February 19th.
Please contact the minister or the office if you feel angelic. We are sincerely grateful for all the work that all the angels, named and un–named, do for our church. Thank you so much.
