Our church has started using a new Church Management Software named Realm. Realm is a cloud-based church management solution that helps users in church administration, accounting and community management. Church members are provided with a mobile app and online access so you can stay connected with the church anytime, anywhere. Keep up with your small groups, RSVP for church events, manage your volunteer assignments, view your giving, update your individual and family profile information, and more.
Linda Zetterberg will introduce the features of the app and the steps to gain access.

Science Sunday (Learning Center)
Henrietta Leavitt, Annie Jump Cannon, Antonia Maury, and Williamenia Fleming were Computers. Specifically, they computed, analyzed, categorized, and cataloged stars by meticulously scrutinizing photographic plates obtained from the largest telescopes of their day. They also discovered new types of stars and began standardizing methods for determining stellar composition, distance, size, and luminosity. However, their work was often overlooked in their day, and afterward, due to the gender bias then prominent (and still too common) in science. It’s past time we celebrate their ingenious contributions to astronomy.
During this Science Sunday, we will learn about the contribution of these 18th and early 19th-century women to astronomy. From there, we’ll cover the modern classification of stellar types and what that classification tells us about the life cycle of all-stars as they mature along what is deemed the “main sequence.” The classic representation of the main sequence is known as the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, and we’ll use this diagram to appreciate\ the lives and types of stars.
Disability 101 (Sanctuary)
Join members of DUUC’s Accessibility and Inclusion Ministry (AIM) Team as we explore one of the largest, most diverse marginalized groups in the United States. We will look at the two most prevalent models of disability as well as touch on topics such as ableism, disability etiquette, and advocacy for disability rights.
Facilitated by the AIM Team
The DUUC Accessibility and Inclusion Ministry Team strives to increase awareness of issues surrounding disability and disability rights and to help make all church programs and spaces as accessible and inclusive as possible.
