UUFF eNews - Week of November 12, 2026

Sunday 11am Service

Sunday, November 15th, 11am: "Art Sunday." Join Rev. Renée and UUFF members this Sunday as we explore the vital role of Art in our world. Several members will share some of their favorite art pieces and explain the personal meanings behind them. **All attendees are invited to bring a favorite art piece (self-created or otherwise) to display in a designated area in the front of the Sanctuary. It will likely be a simple table-top display setting, so please take that under consideration when choosing what to bring.**

10am Mindful Discussions for Adults

This Sunday's Topic: "Christian Nationalism in the United States." According to the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), approximately one-third of Americans qualify as Christian nationalism adherents or sympathizers. This week, we'll review the results of PRRI's 2025 American Values Atlas, part of which mapped Christian nationalism across the United States. Join us!

Youth are always welcome to participate in the Mindful Discussions, and childcare is available for ages 0-10 starting at 9:45am.

UUFF Cares

Stevie Gaines, UUFF's former minister and current friend, lost their child on November 1st. Caleb Steven Gaines (pictured), 14, of Fayetteville, Arkansas, died at Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock, following a battle with leukemia and numerous complications.

Many of you may remember a younger Caleb from Stevie's time as our minister prior to Rev. Renée. I certainly do, with much fondness and now heartbreak. Cards/notes can be mailed to Stevie (Rev. Dr. Steven Gaines) at: 3600 N. Garfield, AFA 140, Midland, TX 79705.
