| Water
Communion |
Last
Sunday was the
Water
Communion
Service.
Water
Communion is a
UU tradition
usually
celebrated in
the fall. Due
to time
limitations,
pictures are
not posted
here, but will
eventually
follow. But,
as usual, it
was a
delightful
service. |
 |
The Gathering Discussion Group will meet after this Sunday's service. Remember to bring your brown-bag lunch. |
GET OUT THE VOTE Postcard Writing |
Many thanks to all
who
participated
in the writing
of postcard
efforts. The
UUFoL, in
conjunction
with other
committed
groups, has
written,
stamped, and
mailed several
hundreds of
postcards.
There is still
time to
connect with
phone banks
and door
knocking, for
the work is
not done,
yet. We must
help to assure
that democracy
remains intact
in the USA! |

THE
INN MINISTRY While gathering items for the Rummage Sale, please keep coats, jackets, sweaters, warm pants for the folks at the Inn, as winter is approaching. Folks continue to need food, including protein, such as canned meats and fish. For the folks not on the road, but struggling to feel their families, hotdogs and sliced meats are good. Instant grits and oatmeal, quick-cooking rice, ramen noodles, and boxes of mac&cheese work well for those with microwaves. Fresh produce is a blessing - fruit and veggies. Janet and Jim wash broccoli, carrots, whatever they get, and bag them. |
