Join Susan Grace at 7 p.m. Christmas Eve for a carol sing. Bring your acoustic instruments and voices. Christmas Eve is a special evening and I can’t think of a better way to spend the evening than singing with friends. We will conclude by 8:30 p.m. Bring your friends and families…and nibblies! This is the first of a monthly sing-along at UUFF. We hope to see you there, but wish you a safe and merry Christmas wherever you are for the holiday.

This Sunday: Our program will be a presentation of the “The Gift of the Magi”, a short story written by O. Henry in 1906. The story is about a young married couple and how they deal with the challenge of buying secret Christmas gifts for each other with very little money.

This Sunday: On this Sunday before Winter Solstice, we’ll acknowledge dark and welcome returning Light in a multi-generational program of readings, candle lighting, singing, and dancing with Raven and special guests. Children of all ages are then invited to carve out a snow angel (weather permitting) and come back in to warm up with hot chocolate, apple cider and Yule.

This Sunday: Speaker Bob McGuire & Soaring Eagle Drum This program will explore Native American spiritual experience, through the performance of the Soaring Eagle Drum, an inter-tribal powwow drum group that does Northern and Southern style powwow and traditional Alaskan Native songs.

This Sunday: On October 30, 2010, The Rally To Restore Sanity was held on our the Mall in our  Nation’s Capital to bring attention to the polarizing extremes in our country’s political and social life. Sponsored by comedians, the Rally sent a message consistent with several UU principles. Members of the fellowship are urged to bring signs to demonstrate their support for the inherent worth and dignity of every person, justice, equity and compassion in human relations, and our acceptance of one another. Lay leader, Kathryn Dodge.

The first Sunday of the month is Low Carbon Sunday/Recycling Communion.
