The DAT is proud to announce that letter writing is officially back! Join us in person on Tuesdays (in the UUFC library) and on Zoom (link HERE) on Thursdays – both at 5:30 pm. We’ll write to voters in Pennsylvania asking them to retain State Supreme Justices who oppose partisan gerrymandering and to Virginia to inform voters of issues that will help them understand the choices they face in the upcoming state election. We will also write to our legislators. We’ll have addresses and supplies on Tuesdays.

Have you ever felt a calling to serve as a reader during Sunday Service? Please come learn more about this opportunity, October 11, Saturday, at 9:30 – 11 AM in the Sanctuary! You will have a chance to read from the pulpit and see how it feels. After attending this info session, any participant can let Rev.

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:
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!
Our Outreach offerings in October support South Corvallis Food Bank, which is a shopping-style food pantry offering a 5-day supply of food to households every other week. Partnered with Linn-Benton Food Share & Oregon Food Bank, the Food Bank strives to increase food-security in our community through compassionate care.
Come to the next meeting of Queerly Beloved on Sunday, October 12 from 4-6 PM in the Social Hall! Queerly Beloved is an LGBTQIA+ group offering a safe space for individuals to foster queer community. Allies, friends, and family members are also welcome. We hope you will join us for talk, listening, connection, community.
The UUFC Choir meets every Wednesday at 7:00 PM in the Sanctuary and is open to anyone – whether you have musical experience or not. There is no audition.

The Choir is a great way to be of service to our Fellowship community…. and it’s FUN! Contact Choir Director Steven Evans-Renteria for more information.
