Sunday, August 30th, 11am: “Rooted and Rising: Dedication to Our Young People.” What does it mean to truly invest in the lives of our children and youth? Join us for a forward looking service as we begin to unveil the next chapter for our young people. Come learn how our fellowship is adapting to give our rising generation the deep roots and strong support that they need to thrive.

This Sunday, we will Share the Plate with Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. For 45 years, AACF has provided leadership, research, and advocacy to promote wide-ranging reforms that have improved the lives of Arkansas children. 100% of loose collection plate cash will be donated to this worthy organization.

Web of Life Announcement

Starting this fall, Web of Life Pagan and nature-spirituality group monthly meetings are moving to a new Community Practice format that will be held once a month on Saturdays from 5-7pm at UUFF.

This change is intended to invite deeper connections and group reflection within a simple ritual structure and shared practice. Given the new structure, we ask that attendees arrive on time and be prepared to engage body, mind, and spirit. Web of Life continues to transform and grow, and this new format is a reflection of that. Our Community Practice meetings will be open to the public, and we encourage newcomers to reach out ahead of time so we can expect and welcome you. 

Upcoming WOL Community Practice meetings are scheduled for:

September 12th

October 17th

November 21st

from 5-7pm in the UUFF sanctuary. 

In case you missed it, Web of Life is an active circle and continues to host Wheel of the Year Sabbat rituals outside of the Sunday service hour. Sabbat rituals are advertised through our internal email list only to those folks we have met in person. If you would like to get on our email list or have questions about our programming, please reach out to Natalie Emmons at nat.emmons@gmail.com. Blessed Be!
