Holidays and Holy Days

July 4 – “Reframing the Fourth”

by

With Rev. Dr. Steven Gaines. This Sunday is Independence Day, a day when many people celebrate freedom. Not all groups in this nation have experienced that freedom equally. You’re invited to join us as we consider how practices of dependence, grounded in our UU Principles, can contribute to freedom at social, congregational, and personal levels.

It’s that wonderful time of year when our bit of the Earth, our perfect home, is especially alive and blooming and fertile and full. Join us this Sunday as we celebrate the power and beauty of this season and focus on our 7th UU Principle: “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.” With Renée Janski, Melly, Fawn, and more!

April 4 – “Pandemic Jesus”

by

Led by Rev. Jim Parrish. Liberal religion views the miracle stories around Jesus as window dressings, the transient vs. the permanent message of love, tolerance, and faithfulness. How might Jesus, or any prophet of love and humanity, handle a global pandemic? Join us Sunday for “Pandemic Jesus” and other stories.

September 13 – “Water In-Gathering and Day of Hope.”

by

It is time to kick off our “church year” with our seasonal Water In-Gathering! This year, let’s do something a little different. We’ll call it a ‘Waterfall of Hope.”

As usual, all are invited to have a bit of water from a special place (and a place to safely pour it when the time comes), but this year, as you pour your water, you are ALSO invited to allot $20 of “Hope” from the UUFF Giving Fund to a specific LOCAL charity/organization of your choice (let’s give to those that help people, nature, environment…and leave politics out of it for this Sunday). For your convenience, you can click HERE to view a list of some local charity organizations to research and consider. We’ll do this up to $1000. A few of us will be present in the UUFF Sanctuary to pour a bit of water (on your behalf) into our UUFF Fountain and write down the requests so that we can fulfill the giving of Hope.

When all who wish to give water, and/or Hopes have spoken, we will close the ritual by starting our fountain and enjoying a bit of music! A Sunday of Hope, for each other in Fellowship, and the broader community as well.
