YRUU Recycling Fundraiser YRUU is still collecting ewaste for recycling each Sunday at the Environmental Ministry table. Please donate your used printer cartridges, old phones and ipods. They do not take any cables, large electronics, or batteries. See planetgreenrecycle.org/slcuyruu for details. Thank you!

Refugee Resettlement Committee “All dogs secretly speak the English language and subscribe to the morals and beliefs of the Unitarian Church.” So asserts a character in Douglas Coupland’s 1991 novel, Generation X. English-speaking, Unitarian dogs are if two minds when it comes to an aging sofa. One group favors retaining the old one for naps. Another advocates recycling it to benefit refugees. Call dog whisperer Joe Dubray at (904) 527-9773 to consult about furniture donations.

The Open Minds Book Group’s next meeting will be on December 1st at 7:00 p.m. in the Haven Room at the Church. The book is “I Am Pilgrim” by Terry Hayes. All are welcome.
