Many opportunities to help with Homeless Connect:
1. Big push on clothes sorting - Clothes Sorting Days: Thurs, Feb.
14th; Friday, Feb.15th; and Monday, Feb 18th from 10 am – 3pm. Let
me know if you are coming so we can let you know of changes if there
is inclement weather, we finish early and to plan goodies. Sign up with
Florence.
2. Rescheduled Sock and Undie Sunday – this Sunday the 17th –
new and gently used socks and underwear are needed
3. Endow a new sleeping bag: For $12 each. We were able to get 39 at
a much-reduced price.
4. Bring any knitted hats, scarves, mittens, gloves you have made; any strength
readers or your old prescription glasses or hotel size shampoo, conditioner,
etc. A box will be on the unit in front of the congregation member photos.
Questions: contact Florence Bucierka at [email protected]
Chocolate Fair reset for Sunday, February 17 (right after service)
Neither rain nor snow (once we shovel ourselves out) stays steadfast
chocolatiers from making their favorite treats — nor ardent chocoholics
from devouring them — especially in a good cause. OUUF’s Chocolate
Fair, cancelled last Sunday by the Big Snow, will take place this Sunday.
Cooks should bring their creations to our kitchen, and offer them at a separate table during
the social hour. Members and Friends can donate to “buy” some of the goodies. The “price”
will be left for donors to decide. Proceeds will go to Manna or to Sequim Cares. Chocolate
and charity: What a combination!
PENINSULA COMMUNITY DRUM CIRCLE.
Tuesday, February 26, 2019 from 6:30 - 8:30 PM.
(OUUF-sponsored monthly gathering) FREE
community drum circle gathering open to people of
all ages and ability levels. If you are new to drumming, come give it a try. If you are an
experienced drummer with great rhythm, we need you! Lots of drums & other percussion
are available to use. It's FUN. It's grounding & decreases stress. JOIN US!
LIBRARY NOTES: Are you looking for some different perspectives on
the Bible? OUUF has a large collection of Bible-related books that might
interest you. Asimov’s Guide to the Bible, by Isaac Asimov; The Born-
Again Skeptic’s Guide to the Bible, by Ruth Hurmence Green; and The
Gnostic Gospels, by Elaine Pagels are some examples. There is also a
large collection of traditional Bibles on the shelf, all available for
checkout on the honor system. Please don’t forget to put your choices in
the return basket on the library shelf when you are finished with them.
Geri Napier, OUUF Librarian, http://[email protected].
RESCHEDULED: On Sunday, April 14th, at 4pm, Joel Yelland,
baritone, will present "A Celebration of Russian Song", a recital of
songs in Russian with English supertitles, accompanied by Linda
Dowdell, piano. The first half will be classical opera arias and art
songs, and the second half will be folk music. For the second half,
Joel and Linda will be joined by Claire Martin on violin and
Maryann Tapiro on cello. The concert will take place at Olympic
UU Fellowship, 1033 N Barr Road between PA and Sequim. A reception with Russian food
will follow the performance.
REMINDER: It is very important and necessary to lock the building if you are
the last to leave. This past Monday morning the building was found to have
been left unsecured and it is assumed the last person to leave Sunday didn't lock
up. If you have any problem locking up, call the church number which is posted
by the key lock box. Thank you, Elinor Tennyson
Do you have a service to offer, an item to sell, give away, or looking
for something? Feel free to post a message on the OUUF Member and
Community bulletin board. The board is located on the wall to the right
as you enter the sanctuary and all postings are subject to management
review. If you have any questions, see Elinor Tennyson.

Once again, the UUA's General Assembly is within reasonable travelling distance for OUUF'ers, and it would
be wonderful to see a number of us taking advantage of that. General Assembly is inspiring in ways you can
only imagine, unless you've attended. After the 2015 General Assembly in Portland, OR:
* Joel Yelland was so inspired by the idea of a Contemplative Service, that he and Diane Hill-Dwyer started
what has become a beloved tradition here at OUUF.
* Dianne Whitaker met Bridget Laflin over lunch at GA. Dianne invited Bridget to speak at OUUF, and
Bridget became one of our cornerstone speakers.
* Bob Nuffer and Vivian Mulligan were so inspired by Rev. Allison Miller's Sunday Sermon entitled "Re-
Storying Hope," that they created and led successful workshops on "Reframing Your Story" at OUUF.
* Our attendees at the 2015 GA were taken by the beautiful Sunday Service hymn, "When Our Heart is in a
Holy Place." It wasn't well known at OUUF at the time, but has become a favorite.
* The Welcoming Ceremony Banner Parade at least indirectly inspired Gayla Nuffer to create OUUF's own
banner, which now hangs in the front of our sanctuary and which was televised at the 2016 General Assembly,
even though we were unable to attend that year.

The UUA and the Pacific Northwest District have multiple possibilities for advertising this year's GA.

Due to the crazy amounts of snow we’ve been receiving in Port Angeles and
Sequim, we’ve decided to cancel the letter delivering event tomorrow at
Kilmer’s office in Port Angeles. Here’s what you can do if you wrote a letter
intended for the Port Angeles visit:
1. Send your letter to Congressman KIlmer’s Washington D.C. at 1410
Longworth House Office Building, Washington D.C. 20515 2. If you wrote letters to Senator Cantwell send them here: 511 Hart
Senate Office Building, Washington D.C. 20515 3. If you wrote letters to Senator Murray send them here: 154 Russell
Senate Office Building, Washington D.C. 20510 4. If you only wrote a letter to Kilmer, I strongly suggest you write one to
our Senators as well! 5. Call their offices every day letting them know you sent a personal letter
regarding the Green New Deal Resolution. Ask them to contact you once they have received the letter.
6. Let’s make calls! Since we can’t be there in person tomorrow, call Rep. Kilmer’s office, as well as Senator Cantwell and Senator Murray’s offices asking them to become a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal resolution.
If you wrote a letter during the Port Angeles letter writing event, it will
be shipped to their DC offices on Tuesday, February 12th. We’ll apply
phone pressure until we know that every letter has been read!
There is still a visit planned at Derek’s Tacoma office on the 13th. Here are
the details:
When: February 13, 2019 @ 3:00PM
Where: 950 Pacific Avenue Suite 1230, Tacoma.
Event Link: Tell Congressman Derek Kilmer: We Need A Green New
Deal.
Carpool Page: https://www.groupcarpool.com/t/irkh90
Contact: Mike Ferguson (360) 565-6647
We need to keep the pressure on between now and February 26th! Call, e-
mail, and tweet our congressional delegation about becoming a co-sponsor
of the Green New Deal! Go to SunriseMovement.org/GND or click on the
contact links below.
Stay tuned about future actions and events! Until then, keep up the pressure
and stay warm!

Senator Maria Cantwell contact
Senator Patty Murray contact
