    On Sunday, August 9, we could use some helping hands after the service! Larger furniture, like couches and tables, stacks of chairs, shelves, and some art need to be shifted around some of the rooms upstairs. Any assistance would be welcome! Email Sam at dre@chaliceuu.org with questions or to let her know you are available.
