Any announcements and events run by UUFCC may be publicized in multiple ways: on the website, in the Weekly E-news, in the order of service, on our public, official Facebook page, in the closed Members & Friends Facebook group, on the TV in the lobby, in Fellowship Highlight slides before and near the end of the service, in the UUNeedToKnow email listserv, in our Whatsapp Community, and from the pulpit on Sunday morning.

UUFCC Announcements are eligible for the Weekly E-news. Not all events are eligible to be listed in the Weekly E-news, typically only major UUFCC-hosted events chosen by the staff on the worship team. All other UUFCC-run events and any listed Community Events within the immediately coming week will show up in the second digital email which is released on Saturdays called This Week At UUFCC. No announcements are included in that Saturday email.

To submit an event, follow the guidelines listed below under the Website (Events Calendar) section.

To submit an announcement for the Weekly E-News, email the following information to the Office Administrator. The deadline for inclusion in the same week’s Weekly E-news is Tuesdays at 12:00PM.

• Title
• Announcement
• (optional) provide contact information

It is recommended that the most important information of the announcement be included in the first 2 sentences to capture a reader’s attention.

To have an event listed on the UUFCC website’s Events Calendar, email the following information to the Office Administrator:

• Event Title
• Event Start Time
• Event End Time (approximately)
• Event Location
• Description of the event
• (optional) an image or graphic
• (optional) contact information
• Is this UUFCC-run or a community event?
• (optional) Any other relevant information, such as an entry fee

For announcements and events on the official page, email the Office Administrator. The requirement is that it should be a UUFCC-run event or UUFCC-specific announcement.

For announcements in the closed Facebook group, you may post them yourself. If you are a member or a friend who is not yet part of the group, please visit the group page and request access. Our moderator(s) grant this access fairly quickly.

If you are not yet part of this email group, please email the Office Administrator to request membership.

Members of the email group can freely email uuneedtoknow@uufcc.com to provide local announcements and recommendations, request help (for example with moving), share social justice events and information, etc.

Events and special announcements can be turned into Fellowship Highlights slides. Email the Office Administrator the following information:

• Event Title
• Event Time
• Location
• One sentence description
• (optional) Contact information

Special announcements can forgo the above requirements, but are still subject to a short description of 1-2 sentences.

Please do not create your own slide, since there is a specific format required.

Announcements at the pulpit are made during the Fellowship Highlights section of the service, and can be either paired with a slide or separate. To request to make an announcement or have the Worship Associate make an announcement, email the Worship Committee with your request before Sunday morning.
