Mediation Services -- Facilitators Needed
Mediation Services will be offering Restorative Circles practices to our communities, and to accomplish this, they need Restorative Circles Facilitators. They are offering to train anyone who is interested in serving kids and communities in this way.
You do not need to have any experience working with young people to become a facilitator.
Volunteers will support the building of relationships, but will not be developing a relationship themselves with the youth.
This three-day interactive training promises to be a gratifying experience. See the flyer, above for details. Or download a printable copy, below.
Once people are trained, Mediation Services will ask facilitators to commit to volunteering six hours a month.
Mediation Services will offer this training again in September.

New Date for next Feast for the Soul, July 17
-Shauna Niequist, Bread and Wine: A Love Letter to Life Around the Table
July 17 is our next Feast for the soul. The Pastoral Relations Committee and the Spiritual Retreat Center Committee would like to welcome our beloved Douglas UCC family to join us for a "family dinner" of soup and bread and conversation, to be held in the Friendship Hall.
We offer you a respite, a sacred space, in which to commune with your fellow church family members and process both the shared loss and hope that have been part of our Douglas UCC journey.
So that we can more accurately judge quantities for both food and drink, please sign up for the dinner ahead on the sign up sheet in the Friendship Hall. Attendance at each of the dinners will be kept to 25 people. These dinners will be run through August.
Come Meet the Creation Justice Team, June 22
Monthly meetings are on the 4th Monday of the month.

Also, the CJT has a small collection of books on Creation Justice on the book shelf at the back wall in the friendship hall. Feel free to borrow a book or add to our collection.
