weekly announcements

We are organizing a new support group for caregivers who are caring for people living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other types of memory impairment. No matter whether you’re caring for a spouse, family member, or other loved one, our goal is to provide a safe, confidential space to support each other. This group is only for caregivers, not care receivers.
If you would like to join a group please sign up at our table in the foyer on Sunday. Dates & times will be determined when we know how many people will join us.

For more information, contact the organizers through the Breeze form at https://uufc.breezechms.com/form/uufc_cgs.

Over the next few weeks we will be gathering feedback on the website for an update planned at the end of May. Start thinking about your experience using our website. What do you like, and what changes can you imagine? Every suggestion is valuable information. If you are new to the Fellowship, we would especially love to hear from you.

A survey will come out in the next couple of weeks, so please start gathering your thoughts!

We are ready – every Sunday – on a rotating basis to be at our best, to show up on the Side of Love and to meet people where they are. Come out of your shell and join this team of uplifting and welcoming people.

Speak to anyone at the Greeters’ desk for more information.

The UUFC Partner Church team promotes international understanding, social justice, global ethics, and liberal religion through partner church relationships. To find out more and to join our growing team, please contact Heather E. via this email link. “In 1995, I bought a bumper sticker for my new car that said, “Visualize Whirled Peas.” It hit a chord with me on many levels – it was funny, I am a home economist, and it aligned with a more profound meaning.
It usually takes an event to spur one into action, to want to try to help this troubled world. I want to finally do something to help others and be a positive influence in the world – even if my efforts seem small.

This is how it begins, doesn’t it? By my being willing to send a message out into the universe? Will there ever be a moment when YOU will step forward and join others who want to help make our world a better place – or will you just visualize a blender of whirled peas?” – Heather E.

Come buy beautiful spring bulbs to brighten your days! All proceeds to benefit the Perla family as they await their asylum hearing in 2027. Suggested price $10-$20. The sale is happening in the parking lot and on the back deck after the service on March 16th. Contact Nancy Kyle of the Immigration and Refugee Support Team with questions.

Queerly Beloved Meetup

Sunday, March 9th, 4 PM – 6 PM in the UUFC Social Hall

This month, we will have a combination hour. The first hour we will play some icebreaker get-to-know you games as we do puzzles. You are invited to bring your knitting if you have a project! The second hour we will listen to some queer comedians and discuss our responses to the themes they bring up! If you want to submit a video clip for the queer comedy watch party, contact the Sexuality and Gender Diversity Team!

Queerly Beloved meets every Second Sunday! (note the temporary change!) Join LGBTQ+ folx and allies for social gatherings centered on queer issues and themes. We understand the importance of queer community, and our goal is to provide a safe space where people can find that sense of belonging right here in Corvallis.

If you need childcare for smaller children, please contact the Grandfolks Squad.
