weekly announcements

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?

(optional Evacuation Drill and hands-on fire-extinguisher training starting ~ 10:30 AM )

The UUFC has improved and expanded its Disaster Response Plan for Evacuation and other emergencies. Our goal is to train all leaders in the basics of the Emergency Response system so they can become one of the three volunteers needed to safely manage an evacuation from the building anytime. All leaders will receive a copy of the most current 2024 Evacuation Plan. Leaders – please plan to attend the Disaster Response Training Session.

This training is strongly recommended for all House Managers, Sunday Worship Production Team members, Lobby and Kitchen managers, UUFC staff, and Board of Directors.

All other interested persons are invited and encouraged to attend! Questions? wolfdengler1@gmail.com . 541 740-7664

After serving in the UUFC’s Religious Exploration department for seven years, RE Associate Rachel Kohler is simultaneously thrilled and devastated to have been offered a full-time job at the Majestic Theatre as their new Recreation Coordinator of Cultural Arts and Community Engagement. Although she will gradually begin to transition away from her staff duties at the Fellowship in January,  she’s not actually leaving; the UUFC community is much too dear to her to not continue to be involved in some capacity. She is, however, deeply grateful to have had the privilege of serving such a wonderful community of people for so many years in her role as a staff member.
