The Partner Church Team wants to foster long-term, mutually supportive relationships with Unitarian and UU communities worldwide, promote the exchange of people and ideas, deepen understanding of faith, and strengthen human rights and religious freedom.

Will you help us grow into that mission? Can you help us develop a mission that speaks to our values at UUFC?

Please join us on Sunday, May 11 at 12:00 in the north end of the Social Hall. We will discuss completion of our tasks for this church year and will make the ground ready to sew new seeds for the Team’s future.

Contact PCT lead, Heather E, for more information using this link.

Linn Benton Food Share is the central food hub for a strong network of 68 local, non-profit agencies including emergency food box pantries, public meal sites, at-risk population programs and gleaning groups, which collectively distribute over 3 million pounds of food annually.

The food pantries in Alsea, Monroe and Philomath need a little boost since cuts to the USDA March 2025 affected 30%-40% of their food sources. Approximately 400 families, mostly children, are dependent on these pantries for their food sources.

All Fellowship leaders of teams, councils, tasks and events are invited to gather once more, on Thursday May 29 at the Fellowship, for coordination and collaboration, and especially to focus on leadership needs and tasks in the coming ministerial transition. A light supper will be provided, beginning at 6 PM. All leaders are needed – please join us!

At the 2024 UUA General Assembly the delegates passed an Action of Immediate Witness encouraging all UU congregations to engage in witness, education, organizing and advocacy in solidarity with Palestinians. In that spirit we will host a presentation from the group Corvallis Palestine Solidarity on Thursday, May 1st 5:30-7:30 PM in the Sanctuary.

Join us for this report and presentation from a recent volunteer solidarity trip to the West Bank. A local retired OSU Professor and community member will share his experiences and journey –intellectual, emotional and physical – from Corvallis to Bethlehem, Palestine.
Come open to learning new things, shedding old beliefs and asking important questions. We will have some items from Bethlehem for sale plus art from local community members as part of a fundraiser to support family businesses in the West Bank.
