Learning Overview

Learning Overview

Religious Exploration (RE) is one of the ways that UUFC supports faith development at all stages of life. RE offers participants opportunities to develop spiritual practices, connect with our liberal religious heritage, cultivate understanding and respect for diverse religious traditions, clarify our own personal values, and utilize our unique gifts to create a better world for all.

Religious Exploration Council

Religious Exploration Council

The role of the Religious Exploration Council is to provide support, guidance, and coordination of RE programs.  The RE Council works closely with the Director of RE  to monitor learning needs across the lifespan of our congregation and develop materials and structures to help address those needs through classes, workshops, events, and volunteer mobilization. 

The primary tasks of the RE Council include:

~Developing and promoting programs that deepen our community’s capacity for spiritual and faithful living;

~Assessing unmet congregational needs for learning and communicating those with staff;

~Identifying potential volunteers and connecting them with the opportunities best suited to their skills and interests.

October 19, 2025 – Compassion as an Open Door

by

Anger and indignation may well up for us as we read the news.  But spiritual teachers such as Howard Thurman have convincing arguments for why love is better for us and for everyone.  Can we perhaps have compassion for our own anger?

Rev. Alex will preach and the choir will sing.

Sing Your Heart Out!

Come join the Choir and learn (or remember) seasonal favorites for November and December services. It’s an excellent time to warm up your vocal cords and enjoy goodwill.

The UUFC Choir meets every Wednesday at 7:00 PM in the Sanctuary.

Contact Choir Director Steven Evans-Renteria for more information.

Partner Church Team meeting, 10/12

by

The Partner Church Team is meeting on Sunday, October 12 at 11:45 AM in Room 3.

Did you know that 4 members of the UUFC traveled to Kőrispatak, Romania last month to visit our partner church? The goal was to keep the bonds of our nearly 30-year relationship alive with mutual trust, friendship and respect.

During the 10-day pilgrimage, members visited the Transylvania region of Romania where Unitarianism started as an organized religion and learned more about local customs and culture.

If you want to travel in 2026, please come to the PCT meeting on Sunday Oct 12th and be part of the conversation!

Contact PCT lead Heather E. if you want more information.
