February 14 – Side With Love

by

What if to “side with love” meant making bold, faith-full choices? What if it were even a little bit scary? This worship service brings together worship leaders and musicians from across the country to offer hopeful, moving, challenging reminders about what we, as Unitarian Universalists, are called to do, and BE, in the world. Zoom links/info to join Sunday services and other online offerings can be found in your latest UUFF Weekly email (go to uufayetteville.org and click on “This Week”).

February 7 – “Replacing the Sacred”

Led by Rev. Dr. Steven Gaines. Join us this Sunday for an online service about Victoria Woodhull, a nineteenth-century Spiritualist, feminist, and presidential candidate who fought for justice, liberty, and human rights. We will reflect on contemporary implications of Woodhull’s experience and will explore how her message can extend far beyond itself.

January 31 – Children’s Service: Embracing Your “Weird”

by

Lydia Nelson leads us this Sunday as we get the opportunity to listen as UUFF’s amazing, diverse kids and youth share what they are passionate about, their interests, and what makes them tick. There’s a lot we can learn from them, including how to embrace what makes you unique and maybe even a little bit “weird.”

December 13 – “Choir Sunday!”

by

There is nothing like music to get folks into the “Holiday Spirit.” This Sunday, all are welcome to join as Renée and members of the choir lead us in singing some of our most cherished holiday tunes. We will have the lyrics up on the zoom screen, and you are invited to sing along to every song, or simply enjoy good music. Either way, it should be a good time!

December 6 – “Chalice Stories – Our Principles in Light”

by

Led by Rev. Jim Parrish. Unitarian Universalism adopted the symbol of the lighted chalice back in WWII, as a sign of freedom. We’ll recount the story, as well as others that help us reflect deeply on our Principles. Our UU Principles are our values – ideals that bring us together no matter what source(s) we come from. These Principles are not written in stone; they are part of our Covenant to be negotiated and updated as needed. Join us as we share stories and music in reflection of our UU values and meaning.
