“Enriching our retirement with thoughtful planning”
Thursday, Sept. 10 @ 3:00 – 4:30pm in the Sanctuary
With people living longer and in better health than our predecessors, we may have several active years in this phase of our lives. Whether you are already retired or thinking ahead, let’s give this some thought together as we face the openness and freedom that retirement can offer. It can be time to pursue interests that have been put off for years even if we don’t have so much spring in our step! A panel of fellow UUFC retirees will share their thoughts and experiences as they began this era of their lives. Open discussion to follow.
“Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.” – Rumi
Find items in your closets, attic, garage that you no longer need and donate them to the annual UUFC Parking Lot Rummage Sale. Pre-price the items at home (whole dollar amounts, thrift store pricing) and bring them between 8:00 – 8:45 AM to the UUFC parking lot. Display the items on tables there or ones you bring. Join with a friend or two to stay by the table and encourage sales. Send buyers to a central cashier. At 1:00 PM pack up any unsold items and take home or to a thrift store. It’s a win-win for you and the Fellowship. Encourage all your friends and neighbors to come.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: We need volunteers to post flyers in Corvallis, Albany, and Philomath no later than September 5, help set up and take down tables and cashier on September 12. Use this Sign Up Genius link to sign up now.

This year we will have a Sunday worship service on September 6, the day before Labor Day. We have traditionally not held a worship service the day before Labor Day, but this year we’re trying something new!
“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” – Mother Teresa
Together, we at the UUFC can make the ripples that touch many lives. It is through the Justice Council’s Global Partners Team that we take actions that can have a positive, worldwide effect. Come be a part. This month we will discuss a social event for the UUFC with an eye toward October.
The Global Partner Team will meet on Sunday 8/9 26 at 11:30 in the UUFC Library. Contact Team Lead, Heather E, for more information.
