We have so much to be thankful for. Let’s share that feeling over a meal. The LEGATO potluck is Wednesday November 12 at 6:30 PM. Come early if you can help set up tables. Everyone is welcome whether you’re singing or not. Choir rehearsal is 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. We will not use the kitchen.
This is a Connect Up Event with the purpose of building community within the UUFC congregation.

Change Your Perspective with the Partner Church Team.
We are a standing committee of the UUFC Justice Council and our mission is to enhance and deepen the relationship between our congregation and our partner churches.
The process of “reframing” your perspective involves self-reflection, embracing humility to learn from others, and a commitment to challenging your own limiting stories and beliefs. We will continue the conversation at our next meeting. Please join us.
What happens when two inspiring, award-winning singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists join together to share their love of devotional music? The answer is the uplifting, joy-inducing duo Bhakti Heart, a collaboration between Laura Kemp and Len Seligman. Leading original and traditional sacred songs from diverse traditions, their gatherings are a heart-opening and moving experience. Their voices blend with rich harmonies, and their joy in creating music together is obvious and infectious. Both are highly accomplished musicians on several instruments, including guitar, harmonium, octave mandolin, and hand pan.
Please join us for a joyous, uplifting gathering, singing and chanting sacred songs and sounds from diverse traditions. All are welcome, regardless of musical experience or spiritual background. We look forward to singing with you!

The Holiday Fair team is looking for volunteers to help prepare for and run the event. We need help with various tasks leading up to the event, including baking goodies to donate to the event, posting flyers in Corvallis and nearby communities, organizing donated items for the recycled gifts room where children can shop for inexpensive items for themselves or gifts for family and friends, and making fresh greenery swags for people to hang on their doors. We also need a baked goods coordinator to accept and package/price baked goods on Friday and organize running the table on Saturday. And on the day of the event, we need volunteers to act as greeters, cashiers, musicians, and helpers to restore the sanctuary when the Holiday Fair is over.
The UUFC Holiday Fair is open to the public and is a great place to purchase unique handmade crafts as gifts for friends and family and yourself. The craft vendors retain most of the purchase price of their crafts, and a portion goes to the UUFC as one of our annual fund-raising events. If you are able to help, you’ll enjoy being part of a team that is working to support local craftspeople as well as the UUFC.
Do you have small holiday decorations that we can add to the greenery swags? Bring them with you when you next come to UUFC and place them in the red holiday swag box in the foyer.
Do you have inexpensive gift items that a child could purchase for no more than $2 to give to a friend, sibling, or other relative? Bring them to a Sunday service at UUFC and give them to Judy Westlake, Rachel McGrath, or Bonnie Morihara.
