All loose collection plate cash and specially-designated cash/checks (please make checks out to UUFF and write “share plate” on memo line) will be collected and donated to MayDay NWA.

How do we give thanks when the world around us is not conducive to gratitude? How do we fully move into this holiday season when things feel so fractured? Dear ones, lean into this Beloved Community. At our historic service this year, we will welcome our new members and celebrate one another with delicious breads and spreads. This is also a Choir Sunday!

Choir Members, please meet at 9:45am in the Sanctuary for rehearsal.

While most people use it as a way to encourage others to let go of menial transgressions, it can quickly turn into poor advice for those who have been hurt by betrayal, abuse, and other deep relationship-wounding events. Join us as Kali Cook defines what forgiveness truly is and how to achieve inner peace despite the deep wounds of betrayal.
