"UUA General Assembly: Celebration of Social Justice,"
led by Susie Schroeder, Karl Brown, and Bettina Lehovec.
Sunday Adult Religious Education (ARE), 10 -10:45am:
ARE Discussion Group:
Meets Downstairs. Join us to discuss this week's topic:
"Creating God."
Azim Shariff, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia, studies religion not from the point of view of faith or spirituality but from a psychological perspective. He argues that human societies changed in a fundamental way several thousand years ago, and this required a new psychological innovation.
Meditation
will be held at 10:00, followed by a short reading and discussion between 10:30 -
10:45. It doesnʼt matter what type of meditation you do, or if you have ever meditated before, you
are welcome to come meditate in the UUFF Annex building (across Storer from UUFF in the west-
nearest Storer-side of the annex). ALL ARE WELCOME. Enter through the front door.
RE for kids 5+: This Sunday's 11am service is multi-generational, so kids will remain in the sanctuary with parents/guardians.
Sunday Nursery Services available 9:45 am – 12:15 pm

ADULT OWL OFFERED THROUGH OLLI!
Our Whole Lives for adults is offered through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute of the University of Arkansas!
If you think there is little left to learn about sexuality as an adult, think again. With the emergence of the #MeToo movement, increasingly open expressions of gender identity and sexual orientation, and new information about sexually transmitted infections, it is not only prudent, but imperative, that adults stay informed and knowledgeable.
Lydia Nelson and Theresa Parrish will facilitate the class over two Saturdays: September 15 and 29, from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM at Butterfield Trail Village.

The Board of Directors has authorized clean-up of the Annex car-port storage areas.
All essential items that are infrequently used will be put into long-term storage at the East Annex car-port area. The area at the West Annex (nearest Storer) will become a garden shed and mini-workshop, holding tools and items that are in frequent use for our football parking program.
- Members who have an interest in stored items should clearly label items with (1) member name, (2) contact info, and (3) a brief description of item's UUFF-purpose (ex: Web of Life services)
- We will begin disposing of unlabeled items after the end of September. Any personal items should be removed immediately.
If you have any questions, please contact Jeff Barnes or UUFF Office. Thanks.
