WHAT’S THE BUZZ
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.

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.
