January 8 – “Hell? No!”
Does a literal hell exist? Most Americans think it does and that anyone who doesn’t believe the right things will be eternally tortured. Did you know that the Universalist part of UUism is rooted in the idea of universal salvation – that all will be saved? We invite you to join us as our own Dr. Gene Vinzant presents reasons to believe that hell doesn’t exist.

CANCELLED – Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services have been cancelled due to safety concerns about the icy conditions around UUFF.
As we feared, the snow has not melted since the winter storm that came through on Thursday, and it is obvious that we would be putting folks at risk by holding the Christmas Eve and/or Christmas Day Services. As much as we’d love to gather together in community this Holiday Season, his is safety concern that cannot be ignored.
So please stay safe, warm, well, and cozy…and we’ll plan to see everyone on Sunday, January 1, 2023!
