Come rest in loving vibrations and learn useful tools in voice, chant, refined mantra, raga and breath that will leave us feeling refreshed, renewed, grateful and filled within. We’ll be meeting in Room 7, 10 AM – 1 PM.
Find Balance, Peace and Joy in Chant and Sacred Sound.

Featuring Jeanette Kangas (tabla), Johanna Beekman (vox), David Campbell (trumpet) & friends.
Come feel your mind, body and heart relax and reconnect Friday, October 10, 7-8:30 PM in the UUFC’s Sanctuary as we immerse in world chants, meditative manra, groove and story with life-long chanter and long-term teacher and sound yogni Gina Salā and her wonderful band.
Let’s raise the vibration!
Everyone is welcome to join the choir and band for a meal of laughter, goodwill and perhaps song! The Fall weather beckons a warm, cozy meal shared with others. The LEGATO potluck is Wednesday, October 8 at 6:30 PM. Come early if you can help set up tables. This is followed by rehearsal at 7:00 PM.
Bring a dish to share (please identify all ingredients), a serving utensil (if needed) AND YOUR OWN PLACE SETTING & WATER BOTTLE – this is a low-impact meal.
This is a Connect Up Event with the purpose of building community within the UUFC congregation.

Each month, the Fellowship gathers donations for a certain charitable cause. These are our Outreach Offerings. You can contribute to this month’s offering in a few ways:
The Social Concerns team donate an assortment of sweet and savory refreshments, including gluten-free and vegan choices, for our enjoyment at the social hour following Sunday worship. These items are purchased and prepared by the team to encourage donations to the Outreach Offering. Collection baskets are always found at the end of the refreshments table. The next time you’re eyeing something tasty on the table, consider putting a donation in the basket first to show how much you appreciate having that treat ready and waiting for you!
Dear Fellowship:
This week I wish you the peace of a pause to enjoy the beautiful images, music, and message in this video. There is a love holding you. Rest in that love.
With care,
Rev. Alex

Our Outreach offerings in October support South Corvallis Food Bank, which is a shopping-style food pantry offering a 5-day supply of food to households every other week. Partnered with Linn-Benton Food Share & Oregon Food Bank, the Food Bank strives to increase food-security in our community through compassionate care.
Dave Eckert of the Canoe Family Project and the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition will speak about his experience building relationships with landcestral cultures, and how that has helped him to better understand and act in ways that bridge cultural divides. Like many of us, Dave grapples with avoiding cultural appropriation and cultural guilt. UUFC has been able to contribute to the Canoe Project through our Justice Outreach Fund.
