The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Corvallis
An engaging, honoring, accepting safe space.
The solution to our problems is not more correction — fixing oneself and others over and over. The solution is experiencing ourselves differently—in connection. What does it mean to really experience connection primarily?
Facilitated by UU member and author/trainer JF Benoist.

We hope you all had a joyful holiday season. Thank you very much for sharing your time and effort to help the people of Corvallis who are struggling each day to survive by donating warm clothing and food items. It’s a new year and we continue with our efforts to help our less fortunate community.
The Unity Shelter is open again and can use volunteers, the Corvallis Drop-in Center is in need of warm clothing, and the South Corvallis Food Pantry needs to refill its shelves.
The Secure Shelter and Food for All team is meeting in the library of the UU on January 14 after the service. Please join us if you want to become active in this group.
For the month of January our Justice Outreach offering will benefit the Linn Benton NAACP. The NAACP works to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination.

During the last election cycle, members of UUFC’s Democracy Action Team wrote 20,000 letters to voters around the country, encouraging all to vote. Our team is gearing up for another critical election season this year, and to prepare, they need to buy stamps for all those letters. (Given the price of stamps, the cost of being a letter-writer can be prohibitive for some). Several members of the team are offering a one-to-one match for all donations to the Stamp Fund: All donations up to $5000 will be matched! Stamp prices increase on January 21 – can you help raise another $5000 to support this important work?
