Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Lafayette
November’s theme is MISSION and VISION
Life is a mission, not a career. A career is a profession, a mission is a cause. A career asks, ‘What’s in it for me?’ A mission asks, ‘How can I make a difference?’
Sean Covey

WHAT’S THE BUZZ
Rummage Sale
The Rummage Sale Fund Raiser at Jockey Lot was a success. It took a lot of work. Thanks to all who helped and donated.
The Gathering Discussion Group, led by Rev. Julien Kain, will meet after the November 10 Sunday’s service. Remember to bring a lunch.
Lunch Bunch at Dwyer’s Cafe, Sunday October 27. Plan to join us after service on November 3 to continue fellowship. Each Sunday we choose a restaurant.
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 and blankets 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 feed 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.
