Half Portion for July

Planned Parenthood

The Forum

9:00 am Sunday, July 28, 2024 ONLY on Zoom


This week’s speaker at the fourth Sunday Zoom-only Forum will be Betsy Baker, from the Board of the new nonprofit “In Our Backyard,” talking with us about a significant homegrown pilot project to address one piece of our community’s homeless issues. It involves using “tiny shelters” for interim housing of homeless seniors. They have a lot of community support already and are looking for more. 


Next week, on Sunday August 4, we will be in-person at the Fellowship, and as always on Zoom for those who can’t make it. Our speaker will be award-winning photographer and human rights activist Scott Langley, who is in Anchorage for the Alaskans Against the Death Penalty’s annual Fish Fry. It would be great to get back to having good in-person attendance to strengthen our sense of community and fellowship. 



For those of you who missed last Sunday’s presentation on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and wish to catch it on the podcast please note that a key part of it was a 30-minute video from Democracy Now! that you can access through the Show Notes Ken has posted accompanying the podcast and watch it as you listen or separately. It adds a great deal to see and not only hear it, but it is a difficult subject and can be hard to watch.

Share-the-Care Needs More Volunteers to Help Congregants in Need!


There has been an increased number of people at AUUF who could use a hand with meals, rides, or just friendly visits. Our Share-the-Care base of volunteers could use more people to fill these needs. Please consider taking some time to keep ours a caring community. You can email Sharethecare@anchorageuuf.org or contact the office to get connected with our Care Team. Donna Massey is coordinating.

A Quick Quiz


  • What is speed limit on East 16th and 20th Streets in Airport Heights?
  • What is the speed limit on the internal streets in Airport Heights?
  • Did you know that the Airport Heights Community Council requested legislative funds for traffic calming?


Of course, none of us would purposely speed and endanger anyone on our way to AUUF, but it is easy to be focused on getting here on time for a service or meeting. Please leave a few minutes earlier and watch your speedometer. Our neighbors will appreciate it!


(Answers: 25 mph, 20 mph, the legislature approved the funds but the governor vetoed them.)


The Library - A Great Meeting Space

After the first attempt at culling books, we have distributed over 2 large boxes of books to new owners! Thank you for those who also contributed a donation. The project could use a couple of volunteers with library collection and UU/religious history knowledge to help with the curation. Please contact Peggy in the office for more information.

Staff Vacations

Rev Lise is on a hiking trip in Northern California for the month of July. If you have a pastoral care concern, please contact the office and Peggy will get you connected to our Care Team.

HALF PORTION FOR SOCIAL ACTION:

Planned Parenthood


Planned Parenthood is the nation’s leading provider and advocate of high-quality, affordable sexual and reproductive health care for all people, as well as the nation’s largest provider of sex education. Planned Parenthood is made up of many separate non-profit organizations across the country. While these organizations are tied by a central mission — to protect access to sexual and reproductive health care and education, no matter what — they are separate entities.
