Chicken BBQ on Sept. 12 - Barroom Buzzard Sunday
Please order chicken dinners by calling the church office or Doreen Park. They must be paid for ahead of time so that we have an accurate count for our BBQ. Dinners are $8.50 and include homemade potato salad, chef salad and roll and butter. Take out or eat with your friends after service. – Doreen Park

The Church is now on Twitter!
Do you use twitter to keep up to date on people and organizations you are interested in? Well, the Church just got its own twitter account! It is "uuamherst" and if you know what I am talking about you can start following right away.
If you don't know what I am referring to, twitter is a service that updates you whenever someone you are following posts some message on their twitter account. The catch? It can only be 140 characters long, including spaces and punctuations. So it has to be a real short message.
For the church, it will just be another way of getting the message out about events and so on, but more like reminders, so there might be one or two messages or "tweets" a day.
You can get tweets by logging into a webpage or most people have a twitter application that does this for them. You can also have them sent as text messages to your cell phone.
If you would like to have a tweet sent, email your 140 charater or less message to:

The standard for messages through twitter won't be as strict as for the email All Church List, so tweets can be about anything that would be of interest to church members not just church-sponsered events, and will contain more news. Like a recent tweet I sent out was what Rev. Tim's sermon will be the next day. You should start following right now!
Go to: http://twitter.com to get an account. If you are looking for a good Twitter client, go here: http://www.twitstat.com/twitterclientusers.html which shows what the most popular ones are. I use Tweetr which is a Mac client. TWhirl runs on any computer as it uses Adobe AIR. If you have an iPhone you already know what to do.
This tweeting service is in addition to having our own group on Facebook, and having the All Church e-mail List. We are trying to be more connected so we can build a community outside as well as inside our church and be more there for each other.
