Come for a fun evening answering trivia questions in a wide range of categories!

Drop-Ins are welcome – but if you know you are coming, contact Craig Butler (craigbutleruu@gmail.com) so we know how much pizza to get!

Say Cheese!


We’re looking for one or more volunteer photographers to help capture the energy and spirit of our FUSW community! As we grow our social media presence, having great photos from our events makes a big difference.


If you love taking pictures and attending FUSW gatherings, this could be a wonderful way to share your talent and support our community.


Interested? Please contact Lenore at Lenorel@aris-comm.com.

Calling All Greeters


The FUSW Membership Committee is looking for additional friendly faces to join our Sunday morning greeting team. One committee member will always be on hand, and we’re hoping to add a second greeter to help during the busy moments.


No experience needed — we’ll show you everything you need to know. All you need is a warm smile and the ability to arrive at 10:00am. every now and then.


If you’d like to help create a warm, welcoming experience for everyone who walks through our doors, please contact Lenore at lenorel@aris-comm.com.



It’s a fun and easy way to connect — and you get to say hello to everyone in the congregation!
