Crafting for a Cause
Our group of knitters and crocheters meets the fourth Wednesday at 6:30-8:45PM. Group meets at various locations. We continue making scarves, hats, socks and mittens for refugees with 75 – 100% wool yarns. We have some additional local charity choices, as well. Some extra supplies and patterns will be on hand, as well as guidance if you hit a snag or are ready to learn to knit or crochet. All are welcome!

Readers’ Theater
We meet on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month from 10:30 to noon. We are currently reading short stories from the Anthology BEST AMERICAN SHORT STORIES OF THE CENTURY, John Updike, Editor. We are still meeting on Zoom because it’s the preference of some of our members. People who enjoy reading short stories aloud are welcome!

Esteemed Elders Mentors
The Esteemed Elders Mentors Program is a group of older members of UU Marin who are offering their experience and services as mentors for anyone in the congregation who may be feeling the need of guidance or just someone to listen. This group has expertise in the following areas: finance, relationships, personal growth, career choices and changes, mental health, pain management, emotional challenges, and self-care.
How it works: Please contact the Minister or the Pastoral Care Committee for a list of mentors and a suggestion for which mentor to be in touch with you.
