Uniteen Quilt Fundraiser: Our Uniteens class will be selling tickets for a drawing for a beautiful quilt of choice made with love by Joan Howes, Mother of UCOH. Tickets are $10 each and a maximum of 25 tickets will be sold for each quilt. The Uniteens will have a sample seasonal quilt on display in the Foyer during ticket sales on Sunday, December 13 after the Services. A quilt would make a wonderful Christmas gift! The drawing for the quilt will happen after ticket sales conclude on Sunday December 13. The winner does not need to be present to win, and will be contacted if not present that day.

Join Sandy Blackard, award winning parenting author of Say What You See, and Jennifer Feiereisel, student and teacher of A Course in Miracles, for an inspired and solution-oriented discussion on how to consciously raise your children to be confident, happy and self-motivated.
