Lay Leader: Hayden Nevill  Speaker:  Jana Peirce

There are clear points along the history of our life where we have stood squarely at a crossroads. Two paths beckoned, but we had to choose a particular path. As we look forward to the new year, we’ll start by looking back to explore the interesting paths we’ve taken that got us where we are. Come with your story. This service will be a discussion that all can participate in.

Christmas Day, Sunday December 25th at UUFF will be an informal gathering with an “unprogram” beginning at our regular time of 1030 a.m. Many UU congregations have chosen  alternative services for this day, and we felt that it was important to offer something especially for families looking for something traditional, or for people who are alone and want somewhere to go. We’ll start off with a brunch. Laurel Holmes has some carols for those who are in a festive mood and want to sing around the piano. Or, perhaps we can stroll across the parking lot to the Princess Hotel and sing a few carols to the residents and employees. So, whether there are 3 or 30 people, there will be a gathering and it will be festive, fun and impromptu. Organizers for this day are Lisa Sporleder and Jeanne Olson.

Lay Leader: Phil Osborn  Special Guests:  Soaring Eagle Drummers  Animal Rights Observer: Jeanne Olson

UUFF observes solstice 2011 (our 55th) on December 18. The midpoint of the winter, the pause, the chance to reflect, to dream, to celebrate the mystery of returning life, envelopes us in its’ spell. Come warm your hearts, come to hear the Soaring Eagle Drummers, come to knit the fabric of our community in this multigenerational service.

The world is full of scary things, from stories of zombies to the reality of change.  Rev. Sarah Schurr will reflect on the role of fear in our lives and how our faith can help us cope.
