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

September 8, 2020 by Fawn Smith

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.

December 27 – “Finding the Good in a Bad Year.”

2020 has been a rough year. Let’s be honest – it’s been a dumpster fire. We know the bad news, but is there any good news? Join us as speaker Gene Vinzant helps us find the good things that have happened in a bad year. CLICK HERE to view the Order of Service.
