Service Cancelled Tonight due to Weather (January 22, 2012)

Laura — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 21:27:10 +0000

Hi, all. Sadly, we’ve decided to cancel service for tonight, due to the slippery snowy roads. It’s been snowing pretty heavily all afternoon. Everyone, be safe!

Great Worship service

We had a great time in worship tonight, January 15, 2012. We enjoyed a time of socialization before worship in the form of a pot luck. We discussed some things to consider in starting our outreach to the Yakima Valley with god’s unconditional love and grace for all as they are and for who they are. All are welcome by God, without restrictions or limitations. We are expecting God to do wonderful things at Rainbow Cathedral throughout the coming years and we invite everyone to become a part of it and part of our family. Come as you are, our worship services and all functions are very casual. We will be gathering to worship again on January 22, 2012, as we do every Sunday at 6:30 PM. We come together in the lower level of The Universal Unitarian Church, located at 225 North 1st Street in Yakima (corner of N 1st Street and N Lincoln Ave). Enter Alley behind church building and look for the Rainbow Flag, our entrance in beneath it. There is ample parking in lots behind church. Hope to see you soon. Pastor Bill

come and meet Bill Poores

Laura — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 21:59:54 +0000

Attention members, ex-members, and anyone who might become a member!

We’ve scheduled a meeting with retired pastor, Bill Poores, tomorrow (Thursday, August 25, 2011) at 6:30p at the church.

It’s a “meet and greet,” a chance to consider the possibility of calling Bill to become our interim pastor. We’ll have some munchies, it’ll be casual — so come and meet Bill.

Food and fun for your weekend: Salad Social (and Game Night)!

Laura — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 05:31:51 +0000

We had a great time last month, eating various concoctions of ice cream and playing Scattergories.

This month we’re doing salads! We’ll have games again, and even a karaoke machine, lol!

So come take your place among the salad consumers and game-players. Bring a salad (or not) and a game (or not).

Saturday, August 20th, 6:30, at the church

WANTED: Sandwich Makers (Will Train on the Job)!

Laura — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 20:43:10 +0000

Here’s a chance to help the poor. We need help making sandwiches for the homeless, this Sunday August 7th at church, at 5:00pm (225 N. 2nd Street, Yakima, WA).

The more the merrier, as we work in a production line, often singing crazy songs while we work. We supply everything you need.

YOU ARE NEEDED. PLEASE COME AND HELP. It’s fun and it’s right, too.

Pray on behalf of LGBT people in Uganda

A message from Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson, Moderator, Metropolitan Community Churches

Dear Friends,

In May of this year, we asked you to sign a petition and contact the Ugandan President regarding the “Kill the Gays” bill. Our voices, along with thousands of others, were heard, and the bill was tabled at the end of Uganda’s parliamentary session. We learned today that Uganda’s new Parliament will most likely be bringing up this bill for a vote later this month. Please join us in prayer:

Compassionate God,

We pray for our LGBT sisters and brothers in Uganda.

May your love for all creation be embodied and embraced by those in leadership within Uganda.

May a spirit of tolerance and acceptance sweep through the land.

As they reconsider the bill that would end lives based on whom a person loves,

May each person be reminded of the love they share in their lives.

May they be guided by understanding and compassion to stop this bill of hate.

God, be with those most at risk; surround them with your protection and keep them safe.

Help them to know they are not alone, and help us to be present for them.

Surround them with your peace and love.

We ask this in your many names and through Jesus the Christ.

Amen

In solidarity,

+ Nancy

No worship service this Sunday, July 3rd, 2011

Laura — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 23:58:05 +0000

Hello, all.

Since a majority of our regular attenders (including myself, Laura, who leads the service) will be out of town, we’ve decided to cancel our worship service this Sunday, July 3rd.

It feels weird to cancel a service and we certainly don’t like doing it, so we apologize for any inconvenience, and we will of course be back on Sunday, July 10th.

Blessings to all who come to this blog.

Laura
