Sunday, November 2nd, 11am: "Day of Remembrance." This time of year, many traditions and cultures focus on ancestors and loved ones that have died. Join our annual Day of Remembrance and All Souls Day Service complete with salt water ritual, the video of our collective beloved dead, and really good music.

You can attend service in person at the fellowship building or view it remotely online via Facebook Live Stream. To attend live via Facebook, wait until 11am Central Daylight Time (CDT) and go to: https://www.facebook.com/share/1FCb42ZBQY/ and click on "Watch Live Video.

Mindful Discussions for Adults - held in the Downstairs Common Area

Topic this Sunday: "How America Got Mean." David Brooks, author and regular contributor for the New York Times and PBS, thinks that we have a culture that is devoid of moral education causing generations to grow up morally inarticulate and in a self-reverential word. Over the past decade, he has studied the thoughts of various social observers who have offered explanations on the rise of hatred, anxiety, and despair in our country. Join us to discuss his take on the issue.

We are excited to welcome children and youth ages 5+ to participate in Religious Exploration at UUFF! Classrooms are downstairs and have signs to direct participants.

We are sorry to inform the congregation that the very talented Jori Costello, who has been one of our accompanists/song leaders for the past 5 years, is resigning her position at UUFF. However, she is still a UUFF member, so you can expect to see her around! Jori, thank you for your years of excellent service!

Winter Wear items are being collected at UUFF for community donation through Sunday, November 9th!

The chill of winter is creeping in, and UUFF is once again serving as a community collection point for donations of winter wear for children, youth, and adults in need.

Please bring your donations of new or gently used winter wear items like coats, jackets, warm hats, scarves, gloves, etc. and place them in the large labeled box in the UUFF lobby. You can't miss it!

A community volunteer will come and pick up the box after the November 9th service, so please make sure to drop off any donations before that point. Thanks for sharing the warmth again this winter season!
