REMEMBER EVERYONE, THIS IS “BRING A FRIEND SUNDAY”!!!!!!!!

If you know someone who might enjoy coming to the UU Fellowship, please ask them to come to this Sunday’s service! You may also ask your friend to the discussion group which will be an introduction to Unitarian Universalism. Coffee and cookies will be served after the service.

9:30 a.m. Discussion Group

Rev. Ames will lead a discussion titled “Nurture Your Spirit, Help Heal the World”, an introduction to the UU faith, tailored to the needs and questions of those present.

10:30 a.m. Worship Service

Rev. Ames will lead us in exploring the words of theologian Paul Rasor: “Liberal religion calls us to strength without rigidity, conviction without ideology, openness without laziness.  It asks us to pay attention.  It is an eyes-wide-open faith, a faith without certainty.”  What does it mean to live with this kind of orientation to the world?  

correction to Dec. newsletter

Posted on by

In the newsletter recently posted, it was noted that there is to be a potluck lunch after the service on Sunday, December 8. This is INCORRECT. As it is “Bring a Friend Sunday”, a decision was made to enjoy coffee and cookies instead. So, please bring some nice cookie treats to share after the service.

Thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! If you are not too full of turkey, try to waddle to the Fellowship this weekend. If you are traveling, happy and safe journeys!
Discussion Group, 9:30 a.m.
Our pre-service discussion will be about being different.  Please think about a time in your life when you were different in some way (or ways) from the people around you and what that experience taught you.  Are you still different?  What kind of stresses and challenges are involved in being different and what can the advantages be?  Please read the attached quotes about being different and bring them with you on Sunday, if possible.
Worship Service, 10:30 a.m.
Our speaker this Sunday will be Nabil Taha, owner and operator of Precision Structural Management, an engineering company here in Klamath Falls.  Nabil is an Egyptian and his subject will be the experience of being a Muslim and a Middle Easterner in the United States.

This Sunday, November 23rd, is a bit different from the usual. We will be having a “Meet and Greet” time with our hosts from the Episcopal Church starting at 11:00 a.m. As a result of this, our schedule for the morning will be as follows:


• There will be no discussion group. Instead we will use the time for setting up food and beverages to share with  the Episcopalian Congregation.

• Our service will follow the completion of the set up.

• Our service will be a short talk on Thankfulness, by Scott Wagner, followed by Fellowship participation for anyone who would like to share their “Thankfulness” stories.

• Service will end at 11:00am so we can share time and refreshments with the Episcopalian Congregation.

• Please, if you are able, bring a treat to share, such as something sweet, savory, or a beverage.

Saturday, October 26, 10:00 a.m. to noonish

Work day at the old church site, on Hwy 140 East (just east of the entrance to Shield Crest).

     It has been a while since the old place has seen a good old fashion “work day” and the need is great, for safety and legal reason as well as just being good neighbors. So we are calling for a Grounds Work day, Saturday Oct 26 10:00am to Noonish. Chores to include mowing, raking, limbing, trash collection, etc.What to bring, yourself(and a friend or loved one), rakes, shovels, pruning saws/shears, weed wackers, gloves, garbage bags, drinking water(no running water on site) and a dish to share,( no real kitchen facilities so try to make it finger food). I will try to make sure there will be a BBQ and Camp stove available, a folding chair may come in handy too.
     Remember there are no restroom facilities on site, hopefully we can set up a shuttle system to accommodate.
If you can’t attend no problem, just please send positive energy……..
