Outreach Offerings for November

Our November Justice Outreach offering will support the Corvallis Daytime Drop-in Center (CDDC). CDDC is a community-based non-profit resource hub providing information, referral, and direct services for people experiencing homelessness and poverty in Benton County and beyond.

To learn more about their work, visit the CDDC website.

How to donate to the monthly Outreach Offering

Each month, the Fellowship gathers donations for a certain charitable cause. These are our Outreach Offerings. You can contribute to this month’s offering in a few ways:

  1. Give to the Sunday collection basket
  2. Donate online
  3. Donate to the refreshments during the social hour

The Social Concerns team donate an assortment of sweet and savory refreshments, including gluten-free and vegan choices, for our enjoyment at the social hour following Sunday worship. These items are purchased and prepared by the team to encourage donations to the Outreach Offering. Collection baskets are always found at the end of the refreshments table. The next time you’re eyeing something tasty on the table, consider putting a donation in the basket first to show how much you appreciate having that treat ready and waiting for you!

November 2, 2025 – Wheel of the Year:  Samhain/Halloween

Remember! November 2 is the end of Daylight Savings; set your clocks back one hour on Saturday night so you’ll make it to service on time!

Because of the power outage on Oct 26, we were unable to have Sunday Service.  So, on Nov 2, we will conduct the Samhain/Halloween service honoring ancestors.  We will continue with the plan to practice evacuating the building at the end of service.

Diana Titus will coordinate this service

UUFC Grounds Work Party, 10/26

Please come help care for our grounds on Sunday (Oct 26) 3 – 5 PM.  There are plants waiting patiently in pots to get their roots in the ground – and some soil amendments to make that ground more hospitable.  There are leaves to move off the lawn and parking lot – perhaps we can shred some of these to add to the soil in the new garden.  We hope you will find some time to join us on Sunday afternoon!
