We'll begin with an conversation about what the Bible means for Unitarian Universalists, as well as how to engage the texts and translations, and then dive into the stories together. No previous experience with reading the Bible is necessary, just a curiosity and willingness to engage!

Pledge Party Hosts Wanted!

March and April are the months that the FUUSN community organizes around the key way we fund our congregation -the annual pledge drive. One great way to get involved is to host a pledge party - either in your home or at FUUSN. Please let the folks on the pledge drive team know your interest in hosting - it can be a sit down dinner, a fun family afternoon event with light food, a wine and cheese party - whatever would feel right for you. A member of the pledge drive team, a board member, and often Rev. Parisa would join you at these parties and help facilitate the discussion.

These events are going to be scheduled between March 9th and April 13th- please let us know what dates would work best for you, any accessibility information about your home (number of steps, etc.), if you would like to invite families with children, and any ideas you have about the type of food, etc. you would like to serve. The best way to contact the Pledge Drive team ( Kit Ryan, Michael Costello, John Dundon, Chip Highfield, and Suzanne Buchko) is the pledge drive email address:  pledgedrive@fuusn.org. We look forward to hearing from you!

Online presentation on Article II of the UUA Bylaws - March 7, 2024 at 7pm

This year's UUA General Assembly will include a special vote by delegates on new wording for our principles and purposes as stated in our UUA by-laws, known as "Article II." This vote finalizes a multi-year process that includes considerable work by the Article II Study Commission and the UUA Board of Trustees. Article II has not been updated since the 1980s. Congregations are encouraged to be in rigorous conversation about Article II. It is important that we all engage with one another, ask questions, share thoughts and concerns, and prepare for the final vote to be held at the 2024 General Assembly. Register here.

If you are considering being a delegate at GA in June, it will be especially important to hear from our congregants what they think about the proposed changes. Information about the Article II proposal can be found on the UUA website.

FUUSN Authors Expo - March 17th

Have you written a book, manuscript, pamphlet, or any other publication? On March 17th during coffee hour after the service, FUUSN writers of all kinds will display copies of their work at a long table and talk with anyone interested. The format will be simple: bring a copy of your work; place it on the table, and answer questions from anyone interested during coffee hour. Half a dozen members have expressed interest, and we expect many more. If you think you might want to participate, contact Curt Lamb.

April 6 Workshop: Introduction to The Work That Reconnects, led by Demie Stathoplos

Based on the writings and work of Joanna Macy

It’s easy to see that “business as usual” is causing harm to our earth’s ecosystems, and suffering for people all over the world as the effects of climate change cause greater and greater destruction. This half-day workshop will explore this important framework that can enliven and empower us in this time that Joanna Macy calls The Great Turning.
