Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Lafayette November 8, 2023

N ewsletter

This Sunday’s sermon is A Broader Interdependence by Rev. Joseph Santos-Lyons. Members of the congregation are encouraged to continue to bring memory boards of favorite ancestors during November to add to the collection begun at our Day of the Dead Sunday Remembrance Service. We hope to share stories this Sunday during our Pot-Luck dinner. No special food theme this month. Bring whatever dish you want. Although, if you’re feeling adventurous, you could check out Diwali dishes.

The Inn Ministry: UUFoL continues its support of this generous effort to feed the hungry and homeless. Especially needed are donations of fresh produce, especially fruit, such as apples and oranges, but vegetables, also.  They continue to need powdered milk and protein. Cash donations are always needed for bus passes. Please bring donations of fresh produce on Nov. 12 & 26. Also, with winter approaching, items such as coats, jackets, socks, gloves and old sleeping bags for the homeless would be greatly appreciated.
