Long time member, Mary Claire Van Der Horst, has been unable to receive Sunday services or chat on Facebook with us because of an ancient, non-working computer. I have a new Dell laptop for her and hope someone with good technical skills will volunteer to install it and get her hooked up to her AT&T account. She lives on the northside on Trout River Drive. Please call me (Sharon Scholl) at 904-853-6158 or email me at accidentals@comcast.net if you can assist.

As Tony, the Tiger would say: “GREAT!” UUCJ members outdid yourselves for the second week in a row. Carlos delivered 121 pounds of groceries on your behalf to Arlington Community Services. The pictures of the empty shelves helped in making the point that they needed our contributions now and for the next few weeks. We have averaged 82.2 pounds per week since the beginning of the year. Let’s keep this pace going for a few weeks. Thanks again!
Rev. Marti will be back over the weekend through mid afternoon Feb. 23, this time — and this time only — in the company (until Monday evening) of her husband Richard Cohen, who is looking forward to seeing some of JAX and some of the local beaches of course, even if it is cooler and wetter than ideal! Richard is a pizza (vegetarian) lover, and was at one time a reporter for Pizza Today magazine. We would love to go to one of the city’s pizzerias Saturday Feb. 15 for dinner and have UUCJ folks join us. Richard is also a veteran health care journalist ( think ACA and Medicare for All options), and is happy to talk about them. (Contact Rev Marti at bridgeminister@uucj.org.)
Our grower, Nichole King, has added Saturday morning to her hours to make it easier for our congregation and the Arlington community to participate in the garden’s efforts of growing food for those in need. She will be there every Saturday from 8:30-11:00 am and would love extra volunteers. Please come to help or just to see how our garden is growing. The garden is located at Tree Hill Nature Center’s amphitheater and bus entrance off Lone Star Road, just 5 minutes from our camps.
