How to Write a Memoir, 10/28
This Connect Up workshop will focus on how to write a memoir and either self-publish it or get it published.

Participants will start with blank pages and end up with an outline and a first paragraph.

Please RSVP using the form below, or at this link.

Donations Requested for Winter Care Kits by 11/30
The children and youth in RE will be making winter care kits for unhoused neighbors during the November 30th Children’s Chapel.
We need donations of gloves, hats, socks, and HotHands for our kits before November 30th. Please consider donating new or gently used physical items or cash to help us purchase these items for our kits. Donations can be placed in the marked box under the table outside of the RE office in Room 2.
Our goal is for every one of our 40 registered children and youth in RE to have a kit in their car ready to be handed to someone in need. Your generous donations will help us learn about and engage in community care.
Thank you in advance for supporting our RE programs!

Partner Church Team meeting, 10/12
The Partner Church Team is meeting on Sunday, October 12 at 11:45 AM in Room 3.
Did you know that 4 members of the UUFC traveled to Kőrispatak, Romania last month to visit our partner church? The goal was to keep the bonds of our nearly 30-year relationship alive with mutual trust, friendship and respect.
During the 10-day pilgrimage, members visited the Transylvania region of Romania where Unitarianism started as an organized religion and learned more about local customs and culture.
If you want to travel in 2026, please come to the PCT meeting on Sunday Oct 12th and be part of the conversation!
Contact PCT lead Heather E. if you want more information.
Queerly Beloved meeting, 10/12
Queerly Beloved is next meeting on Sunday, October 12 from 4 – 6 PM in the Social Hall. Queerly Beloved is a LGBTQIA+ connection group. Come share, listen, connect, and create community. Allies, family members, and children are welcome.
CANCELLED: Parking Lot Closed for painting
The parking lot painting has been cancelled due to expected rainy weather. The painting still needs to happen, so we’re holding out for the next span of dry weather.
Classroom Wing update
Apologies for the continued difficulty with the new heat pump heating system. Rooms 9 and 10 are still shut down until repair on October 15. Rooms 7 and 8 work, with variable response to the handheld remote. Please report any problems to Wolfgang Dengler via Breeze.
There will be changes coming soon regarding keyed and key-less entry into the building as we continue to improve the safety and security of our building.
We plan to mount hooks for hanging jackets and bags in the restrooms.
A giant THANK YOU to everyone involved in the Classroom Wing remodel project for ALL your help in the last 10 months. We did it together, our community in Action. The Classroom Wing is now safely protected against earthquake and fire, and has become a warm inviting space for congregants and visitors. Let’s Go UUFC!
