The Gathering Discussion Group: Join us this Sunday for the meeting of The Gathering (every 3rd Sunday) August 18, 2024 right after the service.
Don’t forget to bring your lunch.POTLUCK last SUNDAY! What finer way was there to celebrate being back at our church than by sharing a meal. THE INN MINISTRY: UUFLhas partnered with The Inn Ministry to provide food for folks with unstable housing and for the homeless. Please consider buying a few items during your weekly grocery trip to donate to The Inn. You can drop off your donations when you come to service. Protein is important, especially for the children, and pull top cans are good for those “on the road”. Shelf-stable milk, cereal, fresh fruit, Instant grits and oatmeal are very popular items. Non-food items such as socks and t-shirts are always needed. Money donations mostly go to bus passes to get folks to work, job interviews, medical & other appointments. The generosity of this UU fellowship has been remarkable! The food and other items are gratefully received.
