Film - The Chamber Room on Monday, May 6, 2024 at 6 p.m. is brought to you by Move the Mindset as part of our mission to raise awareness about racial and social justice issues in our community. This film’s content -- “the message of continuing to use our voice, vote, and power to bring about change must be heard throughout our communities.” The screening will be held at the Downtown Convention Center , 124 S. Buchanan St., Lafayette, LA 70501.

The Inn Ministry Please consider buying a few items during your weekly grocery trip to donate to The Inn Ministry .  Shelf-stable milk and pull top cans are good for those “on the street”.  Cash donations go to buying bus passes for those who need transportation to work, as well as for the unhoused to get out of inclement weather for a while.   The generosity of this UU fellowship has been remarkable!   The food is gratefully received.


 Attention: Pot Luck date has been changed to May 26


Pride Fest: Our UU Fellowship is planning to take part in the Pride festivities on June 29.   We plan to set up a table with activities while sharing some UU information.   Our booth last year drew lots of visitors.   We need volunteers to alternate during the day to manage the booth – from 10am – 5pm.   If you are interested in helping out or in marching in the parade, contact Mary or Chris.
