“Future Design” — Conversation: Building New Ways at the Fellowship 11/5

by

Sunday, 11/5 after the service

So much is in flux, in the world and at the Fellowship. Former systems, groups and events are changing, new ways are emerging and being created. Have you had questions about some aspect of Fellowship operation or participation? Wondering how to find out about things? We want to hear from you! Let’s have a conversation to inform this process of change. Join us after the Sunday service on November 5th in the Sanctuary. If you have questions, talk to Rev. Jill McA or Skyla King-Christison.

Doorbells – New System Installed:

Thanks to Steve Ferrell for persevering to find a system that will work for us. The doors are usually locked – ring the bell if you arrive during office hours.

Fall Building Hours

The Fellowship office and building are open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 10 AM – 12 PM (noon), with volunteers and sometimes staff present. New doorbells are now working.

Announcement Screens

Choir Goes to Portland First Church

The UUFC choir will be heading to First Unitarian Church in Portland on Sunday October 8th to fill in while their music program is on retreat.

Join the “Secure Housing and Food for All” Team

Our October Justice Outreach offerings will support the South Corvallis Food Bank. Their mission is to increase sustainable food security in Corvallis by providing emergency food boxes, information and opportunities with compassion and respect. Donations can be made in person on Sundays, or at uucorvallis.org/donate.

Information about the Monthly Outreach Offering, as well as about UUFC Justice Teams, is posted on the bulletin board at the northeast corner of the Social Hall. This month the South Corvallis Food Bank open hours and lists of needed food are on the Bulletin board in the Social hall for October.

Did you know that in addition to providing food the South Corvallis Food Bank has cooking demonstrations and recipes, collects cold weather items, diapers, personal care, and household items? Volunteer opportunities include helping shoppers, restocking, gleaning, assisting with incoming deliveries, driving for monthly home delivery. Youth ages 12 and up are welcome with their guardian’s permission.
