Events for week of May 26, 2024

...with Rev. Tracy Sprowls. We celebrate our history through the people that created and continue to create our community. We will honor long time members, share stories, and a few more surprises!

This week our Pre-K/K friends will explore Trees. Sign in downstairs in Room D.

Join us as we prepare for our Lifespan Religious Education Service on May 19. This service will be led by our kids and we will spend time talking about what we've learned this year and how we can share that with our congregation.

If you're new or have questions, come to the library and chat and learn!

The UUFCC Jazz Band is open to all. Rehearsals occur on Sundays in the Sanctuary, although occasionally the band may rehearse in Room 6 due to major church events. Contact David Morris if interested.

Our goal is to maintain and enhance the UUFCC's green sanctuary certification by promoting ecojustice and the environmental practices that make ecojustice possible. We do this through projects at the UUFCC and in the broader community, focusing on renewable energy, and promoting the use of sustainable food, green transportation, and clean water.

Come share your thoughts, concerns, and questions with our UUFCC Board members! They desire to be transparent in all their decision-making and would love to hear feedback, input, and just engage in conversation with you.

Join Colleen and Ashley as we have fun learning new songs to sing for our Multi-generational Sunday services: Earth Day Service on April 21, Lifespan RE Service on May 19, and Flower Celebration Service on June 2. We’ll continue our journey of Social Justice Music through the span of Black American history as well as add new songs for Earth Day and Flower Celebration.
