Book Nook Needs
The Book Nook is requesting that you donate your paperback novels for a big 'Beach Reads' book sale planned for sometime in June. Please only donate ones in good enough condition to sell for $1-3! We'd like to have a big pile of them for folks to select from! Just drop off those donations at the Book Nook this month! They can be left there in boxes or bags, if we are not open.
Book Nook also needs donations of 'good condition' baby books (cardboard ones) or young children's books you might have. Our monthly children's book sales are going really well! If your kids or grandkids have outgrown some of their favorites, please consider donating them to Book Nook. We can re-sell them at bargain prices to other parents, making a little $ for TUUC at the same time! [All proceeds go to TUUC & our social action projects.] Thanks! - Book Nook Staff

Recycling at TUUC!
Be on the look-out for the new blue recycling bins placed throughout TUUC, courtesy of the Green Sanctuary Committee. Now that Baltimore County has adopted single-stream recycling, it is all the more important that we recycle all cans, bottles, paper used in our building. (NOT acceptable in these bins: plastic bags, Styrofoam, paper with food on it, or covered with wax or plastic.) Help TUUC continue to "go green"!Tree of Life Care and Concern Book
In the recent TUUC congregational survey, some of you expressed that you missed the spoken messages at Lighting of Candles. In order for us to stay better connected, we are restarting a Tree of Life Care and Concern book. It is placed on the shelf under the bells at the left entrance to the sanctuary. Here you may share your personal joys and concerns, and these messages will then be acknowledged by Clare during the pastoral meditation/prayer in both worship services.Evening Book Group -- July 7
The Evening Book Group will meet on Wednesday July 7th at 7:30 pm to discuss Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger. This collection of short stories published in the New Yorker between 1948 and 1953 is a classic, with the stories all dealing in some way with the relationship between children and adults. All are welcome. Please call Carel Hedlund at her number in the directory if you have any questions.
