UUFF

Your NWA home for a liberal religion

Main Content

Welcome to the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Fayetteville!

Practicing liberal religion in Northwest Arkansas for 70 years.

Sunday Service 11 AM Service – Join us remotely or in person!

May 29 – “Greater than the Sum”

What is Unitarianism? What is Universalism? Those terms have had different definitions, and Unitarian Universalism is more than one plus the other. You’re invited to join us as Rev. Dr. Steven Gaines leads us in an exploration of the breadth and depth of UU identity.

There are 2 ways to attend our Sunday 11am Services. You can attend in-person at UUFF. Or you can join remotely, via zoom. To join via zoom, CLICK HERE.

Featured Event

  • Jeff Barnes Memorial/Celebration of Life Service - Saturday, June 11th, beginning at 1pm!
  • Saturday, June 11 - 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
    • Jeff Barnes Memorial/Celebration of Life Service - Saturday, June 11th, beginning at 1pm!
    We will have a Celebration of Life Service for Jeff Barnes at UUFF on Saturday, June 11th, starting at 1pm. Jeff asked for “fun music and lots of flowers,” so that’s what we are going to do!
    There will be a brief ceremony in the sanctuary, with Renée in charge of the “fun music,” Gene doing a short Eulogy, and folks having time to get up and share (briefly!) a favorite memory they have of Jeff. Then we will have snacks and drinks available in the foyer, and those who wish to may gather in the Storla Memorial Garden as Rev. Steven leads us in a ritual of interment and scattering of Jeff’s ashes. We’ll conclude the overall Service with the official dedication of the new “Jeff Barnes Memorial Herb Garden.”
    All are welcome to come celebrate the life of Jeffrey Karl Barnes. We ask that you bring a flower or bouquet of flowers if you are able, and we’ll just put them ALL OVER the Sanctuary and lobby, and we can leave them for Sunday, or folks can take them home.

Upcoming Events & Activities

  • Sunday, May 29 - 9:30 am - 10:30 am
  • UUFF Sunday Morning Meditation - 9:30am each Sunday, meeting via zoom.

  • All are invited to participate in UUFF’s Sunday morning meditation, held weekly at 9:30am via zoom. Typically a mixture of meditation and reading/discussion. Caroline Lennox and Ines Polonius are co-leads, so if you have any questions (such as “what is the zoom link needed to join?”), please email the UUFF office at uuff.ar@gmail.com and Administrator will put you in touch with them.

  • Sunday, May 29 - 10:00 am - 10:45 am
  • Sunday 10am Adult Religious Exploration Discussion Group - now meeting again in person at UUFF!

  • This Sunday, 05/29/2022: “Beloved Community.” We have all heard the term “Beloved Community” but what does it mean? According to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it is the love of god operating in the human heart, that seeks to preserve and create community. This involves faith and action. Join us as we discuss and reflect on some of the features involved in becoming a beloved community.

  • Sunday, May 29 - 10:00 am - 10:45 am
  • UUFF's Children's (ages 5-11) Religious Exploration now meeting downstairs at UUFF each Sunday at 10am!
  • We are using the Soul Matters curriculum, which you can learn more about here.
    The theme of the month is Nurturing Beauty. As UU’s, our 7th Principle and our 6th Source remind us that we are interconnected to nature and the wider world. This week we celebrate that connection and honor the many sensory ways we take in the beauty around us.
  • Thursday, Jun 2 - 9:00 am - 11:00 am
  • UUFF Grounds Work Days - each Thursday from 9-11am (unless it's raining) at UUFF!
  • The UUFF Grounds Crew is once again gathering for weekly work days each Thursday from 9-11am. The crew always needs more helping hands, so if you are free even just for half an hour, please come on over to UUFF.
    We’re happy to report that the hard work in the Storla Memorial Garden in particular has fostered a peaceful green space that is gaining popularity within the surrounding neighborhood. In fact, it’s not uncommon to hear the excited giggles and pitter patter of energetic little feet around the UUFF grounds these days, as caregivers from the Tyson Child Development Center (at the top of Storer Ave.) often bring the kids down for a mini field trip.
    That’s creating a positive difference in our world, y’all! Something to be proud of and a worthwhile volunteer opportunity.
    Questions? Contact Laura Brewer at kbrew9@gmail.com
  • Saturday, Jun 4 - 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
  • UUFF Caring Team Online Meeting - first Saturday of each month, beginning at 1pm! All welcome!

  • All are invited to be a part of this very important team. We always need volunteers to help with Care needs within our community, whether it be sending a get well soon card or making meals for an ill or bereaved UUFF member/friend. Please contact Elizabeth Littlepage, Team Lead, if you have any questions (or if you’d like to join a meeting and can’t locate the zoom link).
