Can you see yourself in the Choir?

There’s nothing to be afraid of and all it takes is that first step. Like a New Years resolution, change might be scary – but honest! We’re friendly.

The choir is a welcoming group of singers who enjoy learning music and sharing it with the Fellowship. There is no audition.

We meet every Wednesday at 7:00 PM in the Sanctuary. Contact Director Steven Evans-Renteria for more information at this link.

January 4, 2026 – What’s Your Leadership Story?

Come hear our Council Chairs share their story of leadership at UUFC. Each of us can reflect on what motivates and informs our roles in the congregation. What puts fuel in your tank for leadership? Many people find that in congregational leadership, they live out their values in new ways and grow spiritually. Looking ahead to the Spring, some leadership roles will turn over, so now is a time to listen for seeds in your soul waiting to sprout.

Carl English-Young (Connections Council), Kathy Kopczynski (Justice Council), Scott Bruslind (Financial Oversight Council), and Nick Houtman (Facilities Council) will speak. Rev. Alex McGee will lead.

Visibility Brigade Bannering Event, 1/2

Visibility Brigade Bannering for Women’s Basketball Pre-game Traffic

Friday, January 2, 2026
5 – 6pm PST

Gill Coliseum at OSU
660 SW 26th St
Corvallis, OR 97331

Join us to deploy our first banner of the New Year before the January 2 Beaver home game from 5-6 pm. Our banner will read “RESIST ICE” and since there will be a lot of foot traffic, we also will provide a QR code or small flyer for those who want more information. We will be test driving our new banner with lights. Each person will hold a letter shaped from Xmas string lights to spell out the message. Help spread the message of ICE resistance!

The Benton County Visibility Brigade was sourced from the UUFC Democracy Action Team and is now also a part of Benton County Indivisible. The Brigade broadcasts messages in support of democracy by carrying out high visibility actions, including bannering from I-5 overpasses and in high traffic locations in Corvallis. We are totally committed to non-violence in word and deed and very safety conscious. Best of all, we have lots of fun! If you experience despair over the current state of democracy, check us out as a great antidote. For more information, email visibilitybrigadebc@gmail.com.
