Friday August 21 we will be offering International Flavors in the Social Hall. Two immigrant families will be offering meals typical of their home countries for you to purchase. You will pay the families directly. You can dine here or take the food to go. It’s an opportunity to try new foods, gather in community, and meet new neighbors.
If you can help with setup or cleanup, contact Nancy Kyle.
Friday, August 21, 2026 at 5:30 PM, on the Social Hall Porch and Patio.
All are invited to join The Democracy Action Team to write Letters for the Election, after the service this Sunday at 11:45 AM in the Library. Or earlier at 11:30 AM if the service finishes early.
Registration is now open for the UUFC Group Campout at Moonshine Park, September 10 – 13!
Come and join in fun and fellowship while camping at Moonshine Park in the coastal mountains, near Siletz, OR. Group Site B has been reserved with a limit of 50 people. Plans include group meals on Friday (picnic style) and Saturday (potluck) evening, time for hiking, swimming, exploring, building community, and much more. Bring your own tent, personal gear, and food. Come out for all or part of the event. More information will be available with registration confirmation.
Only tent camping is available on the site but small RVs (no hook-ups) are allowed in the site parking area. We are limited to 8 vehicles with the reservation and will be charged for any additional vehicles. A camper being pulled by a vehicle counts as two vehicles. So, carpools are encouraged!

The registration fee for the whole weekend is $30 per person (a family with children rate will apply). Fees may be paid during the registration process or paid to the UUFC by check or cash. Please note “2026 Moonshine Park Campout” in the memo line (or on the envelop if paying in cash). If the name on the check is different from the participant, please note the participant(s) name. You may give your payment to Julie Halter or Nancy Gill at Sunday service or place your payment in the collection box in the foyer to the left of the sanctuary doors.
The Secure Housing and Food for All Justice Team is recruiting volunteer Pantry Pals to help address hunger in our community. Thanks to a generous Justice Outreach Fund grant, we have resources available to support this important effort. To learn more, speak with Mike Jager or join us at our next meeting this Sunday at 11:45 AM in Room 3.
Monday, July 27 and Tuesday, July 28, the parking lots will be completely closed to all vehicle access for repairs by a commercial company. Wednesday, July 29, the UUFC Building Steward Team will paint the lines. Access will be restored Thursday July 30. Please plan accordingly.
If you receive an email inviting you to a special event and asking you to click a link to view the invite or view the card, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. The invite will probably come from an email address you recognize, belonging to another person at the Fellowship who fell victim to the scam. Please delete the email and inform Cameron at comms@uucorvallis.org that you were targeted.

The new Board of Directors has begun their service! John Bailey is now serving as Secretary of the Board, and so has taken ownership of the email address secretary@uucorvallis.org. Priscilla Galasso will no longer be checking the Secretary email. If you wish to reach Priscilla, please look up her contact info in our online member directory.
You can see the entire Board of Directors, and the contact info for the Officers, at uucorvallis.org/about/board/.

In 2026, for the first time, the Services Auction was held off-campus. This was an experiment, and we ask for feedback using the linked form https://forms.gle/XerdBHzwPQmj2MZ2A to share their views on the Scout Lodge and their preferences with respect to hosting future auctions at UUFC, the Scout Lodge, or, potentially, other off-campus sites. Responses will be used by the fundraising team in making its recommendation to the Finance Council and Board on the venue for future Auctions.
If more than one adult in your household attended the Auction at the Scout Lodge, please ask them to also complete the form https://forms.gle/XerdBHzwPQmj2MZ2A.
