Sundays @ 8:30am–Adult Ed Discussion
Adult Ed is discussing the book “Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion” by Gregory Boyle on Sunday mornings before worship. Join us at 8:30 a.m. for “gathering time”, with the discussion starting promptly at 8:45 a.m. Come even if you haven’t read any of the book.

New Recycling Programs at First United
We are starting three hard-to-recycle stream collections here at church (through a company called Ridwell):
• Bread tags – you know those little plastic clips that hold your bread bag together
• Plastic RX bottles – many curbside recycling programs do not take these, especially not the lids. So, you can bring yours here! We ask that you attach the lids and remove the labels.
• Batteries – alkaline and lithium. PLEASE no batteries that are corroding.
You can bring your items at any time and place them in the recycling receptacles that are in the Fireside Room. We will collect them on a regular basis and put them in our curbside pickups. Contact the Church Office with any questions.

now-end of August–Growing our Endowment, A Gift for the Future
We are on our way! We are just a little over the $3000 mark. You can be part of planting seeds for the future of First United Church of Arvada through the growth of the Endowment Fund! An anonymous $10,000 match has been committed to encourage donations to the Endowment Fund by the end of August! Each contribution will be matched dollar for dollar up to the $10,000 of the challenge fund. To participate, please indicate “Challenge Fund” with your gift. Watch the tree graphic at church grow with color in the coming weeks as gifts are made—a visible reminder that together, we are nurturing something that will continue to give life for generations.

Summer Sunday School is coming!
“Regular” Sunday school will go on hiatus for the summer at the end of June to give our teachers a break for the summer. We are looking for those who would be willing to help with our Summer Sunday School program. We hope to fill as many Sundays as possible for the rest of June, July & August with Sunday school activities for the kids (K through 6th+). If you would like to offer an activity (craft, art, talk about nature, gardening, the bees, safety, etc.) to do with the kids, or simply help with activity let us know! Dates are flexible. There is a sign-up if you already have a date in mind that you would like to lead. You can talk to any member of Christian Ed. Thank you for your help!
