Good news: The parking lot paving was completed Friday so most of the lot will be available for you on Sunday. Sidewalk concrete panels will be replaced next week.
More Good news: Right now it appears that the contractors work will be completed ahead of schedule, probably in early June. Of course our work to move into the building may go on for another month.
Bad news: This project has highlighted the poor condition of our roof. We will be soliciting price quotes from several roofing companies in order to get all roofs replaced this summer. Until then the north roof of the RE wing is covered in plastic to protect the new drywall from leaks.

Thanks for your patience, Brian Egan

The Secure Food and Housing for All team is meeting on Sunday, April 20 in the Sanctuary after service. The meeting on 4/20 will include discussion about what’s happening in housing for the currently unhoused as well as services.

The team is shifting to support the needs for food at all our local Food banks. Two donation baskets are available in the foyer for donating food. The team will provide lists of the most needed foods next week. The Corvallis Daytime Drop-in Center doesn’t need more clothing right now.

Come join the Greeter Team and welcome people to the UUFC by saying “mucho gusto” with enthusiasm and zest!

It is our pleasure to meet you and help you navigate your way into the building and into our hearts. We encourage you to sign up for the announcement mailing list and to become more fully connected.

Speak to anyone at the Greeters’ desk for more information.

The Committee on Ministry invites all to our next “Transitions Talk” on April 6. We’ll touch base on as many questions as come up, such as “How are you taking care of yourself in these challenging times? How are you feeling about this ministerial transition? What do you need to know or understand better? How do we say goodbye – both minister and congregation members – as well as we can? What will help us stay strong and vital in our ministries during the transition time?

11:45 AM, in the Sanctuary.

This Sunday, April 6, please join in celebrating – with cake after service – members and friends with birthdays in April, May, & June. This is also an opportunity to let us know if you have a April – June birthday.
