Special Note from UUFF's Minister Intern:
“Hello UUFF! I have so appreciated year one of my internship with you all. You are a lovely congregation. I have the summer off, but I will still be around behind the scenes--planning for next fall, attending meetings virtually, etc. I will also be doing a sermon on July 29th! I am so excited for year two of my internship, beginning September 2018."
-Ren Pasco

UUFF Cares!
Beloved UUFF member,
Arden Kate
fell last Friday and cracked her pelvis. She is now at North Hills Lifecare and Rehab (at 27 E. Appleby Road) in room 308. She will likely be there for around 3 weeks and would enjoy cards and visitors. Please keep Arden in your thoughts and hearts.
Please also keep
Rev. Jim and Theresa Parrish
in your thoughts/hearts. They are traveling this week to help Jim's son,
Aaron, and his family
navigate through the very serious illness resulting from Aaron's previous heart attack.

Stewardship Work Day- Saturday, June 2nd, from 9am till NOON!
It’s that time again….to grab your gloves and trowels and join your fellows for an hour, two, or more as we work to beautify the UUFF grounds—focusing mainly on the area north of the building, along the creek- to improve the view from the street.
Can’t take the heat?
There is plenty of inside work to be done as well—with plans for cleaning/renovation of the nursery. This is a great opportunity to work hard, have fun, and get to know others in the UUFF community even better! Refreshments will be available, and
lunch will be provided at noon!
See John King or David Edwards if you have specific questions.

Fiber Arts Revived?
Do you like to knit, crochet, sew, quilt, needlepoint, or make other types of fiber arts? If your answer is "YES!," please email Susan Takigiku at
susan.takigiku@gmail.com
and let her know of your interest in possibly reviving fiber arts at UUFF.
Please include in your email to Susan Takigiku:
- Full name
- Email
- Form(s) of fiber art most enjoy
- Your suggestions for organizing the group
- Other questions or comments.
Details:
In the past UUFF has had a Fiber Arts group that periodically met to create fiber arts for personal pleasure and projects, expressing care at UUFF (such as blankets for new babies and members experiencing illness/injury), and to simply socialize and fellowship together.
Lately, I have noticed folks sharing their knitting and other fiber arts at the Fellowship.
Is it time to bring back Fiber Arts to UUFF?
If you would like to revive and join Fiber Arts at UUFF, please email Susan Takigiku as soon as possible (by June 17th-Father's Day-at latest).
We need at least five (5) people to join fiber arts in order to make a go of it.
If there is sufficient interest in reviving fiber arts, the group can meet and decide how to organize themselves, etc.
Additional details to share:
Rose Bartlett has two large bags of yarn that she would like to donate so that people can make caring and sharing items for UUFF. Rev. Jim has also expressed that we are especially in need of baby items for new babies and their families at the Fellowship, such as booties, caps, baby blankets, etc.
If you would like to bring back Fiber Arts in some capacity at UUFF, let Susan Takigiku know at your earliest convenience (before 6/17) at
susan.takigiku@gmail.com
