Passover is the Jewish remembrance of the exodus from Egypt and a time to celebrate freedom and bring our attention to justice and liberation for all peoples. We will celebrate Passover with an intergenerational Seder this Saturday, April 12, at 5:30 pm in the sanctuary. Our Seder will be followed by a potluck (kosher for Passover is ideal - we especially try to avoid bread with leavening, pork, and shellfish).
Walk-ins are welcome, but it is very helpful to know how many to prepare for. RSVP to fun@ucwc.org.
The Share-the-Plate program raises money to give to local agencies which are trying to improve life for Chester County residents.
Eleven times a year, UCWC gives approximately half of the collection plate to a congregation-nominated recipient. Funds are given to small, local organizations for whom our gift is very meaningful in the continuance of their efforts.
