Social Hall Enhancement Project Update

The UUFC Building Enhancement Team has begun discussions with Varitone Architects to begin planning the changes to the social hall and community kitchen. We are in information-gathering mode right now and will have a table in the social hall after Sunday worship service for the next 2-3 weeks. Please stop by, fill out a survey, give us your opinions and take a look at some sample plans for the space. We need your input in order to create a plan that works for everyone.

If you have questions please contact any member of the team that includes Nick Houtman, Russ Anderson, Carolyn Madsen, John Bailey, Michael Hughes, Wolfgang Dengler, Carl English-Young and Brian Egan

January 18, 2026 – Can I Let You Have Your Story?

In anticipation of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, let us consider whose version of his story we know. Widening the lens, let us consider what versions of someone else’s story we are willing to hear. If we truly live our inclusive values, what discomfort comes with accepting a person’s whole story?

Rev. Alex McGee will preach
