This Sunday: The UUFF embarked on a Journey last year to GO GREEN — to build an awareness and understanding of how we can reduce our overall footprint on the Earth and follow it up with appropriate action.  We are pursuing the Green Sanctuary certification offered by UUA and we already have a really good start in that direction.  This Sunday, the UUFF Green Sanctuary Committee (Green Team) will present the two-year action plan for our fellowship that will lead to certification and we want your input on the Action Plan!  The Green Team will present proposed activities for UUFF in four areas:  Worship & Spiritual Practice; Religious Education; Environmental Justice; Sustainable Living.  Come lend your voice to encourage us to take action towards greater stewardship of our planet.  Lay leaders and Presenters:  UUFF Green Sanctuary Committee (Green Team). Music: Susan Grace.

This Sunday: Did you know church attendees have lower rates of heart disease and stroke, survive longer with less disability and enjoy better emotional health than less frequent attendees? An examination of how health is affected by the faith of both theists and non-theists. You may be surprised. Speaker, Ed McLaughlin.  Lay Leader, Laurel McLaughlin. Accompanist, Vera Alexander.

This Sunday: We know what Hallmark and Hollywood think, but what does love mean to you? Not just gooey romantic love, but all those other, less-celebrated varieties as well. We’ve asked an assortment of people to give us their thoughts on love in word, verse and song, each in 1-3 minute bite-sized morsels. The choir has also prepared a special treat. This will be our sixth annual “Love is Like a Box of Chocolates” Valentine’s celebration. While not everyone may get a Valentine with their name on it this year, everyone who joins us this Sunday will at least get a piece of chocolate. As Lucy says in Peanuts, “All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt!” Lay leader, Jana Peirce. Accompanist, Marsha Sousa. An assortment of speakers.
