DEMOCRACY ACTION TEAM – Let’s Meet and Chat, 7/14

CASUAL GATHERING! – 7/14 after Sunday Service Come join us in the Sanctuary Gallery at 11:45 to:

• meet Democracy Action Team coordinators and anyone interested in our work

• hear what we’re doing in the run-up to the 2024 election in November

• join us to write letters and put stamps on them

• and just to chat about what we can do to strengthen our Democracy.

Thanks to all of you who have contributed to the UUFC Stamp Fund. You have donated enough to pay for 15,000 stamps!!! You have enabled people to be free to write without worry about postage. We wrote over 20,000 letters to prospective voters in swing states in both 2020 and 2022 and we’ve been writing since March for 2024.

Sip & Snack Sunday, 7/14

Are you ready for some boche ball at CARDWELL HILLS CELLARS for wine tasting with fellow UU’s? Hope so. We’ll meet in the UU parking lot on Sunday July 14 at 11:45.

The Cellar is an easy 25-minute drive away. Bring finger-food snacks to share with the group as we enjoy a glass of wine and get to know one another! If you are a wine passport holder, this is a BOGO event (half off). It’s predicted to be sunny and will be toasty by 3 p.m. so bring a water bottle. They have a lovely, wide porch.

We will leave the UUFC after the service; you might consider carpooling.

RSVP to Heather so she can alert the Cellar of our numbers. Heather will send participants a confirmation email on Saturday.

Lemonade & Playground, 7/21

Join Skyla on the RE playground deck on July 21st at 11:45!

Your kids have been missing the playground and I am looking for feedback about your family’s RE experience as we plan for the upcoming year, so let’s meet up on the playground for lemonade! The kids can play while parents share how the RE programs have been supporting their families and ways we could improve the experience when we are able to return to regular Sunday morning offerings for children and youth. 

No need to register. Just come and play, sip, and share!

“She, They And Me” 6/23/24

“In the places and times of my growing up, definitions of and attitudes toward gender and sexuality were highly circumscribed, biased, narrow-minded, and I realized later, oppressive. My introduction to broader views and my evolving understandings of gender, sexuality and myself have been deeply intertwined with my life in the Fellowship and within Unitarian Universalism. This is one of the reasons that I appreciate Pride Month, which at the very least reminds me to keep learning.”

With Rev. Jill McAllister
