We Remember, and Are Remembered
We are pleased to announce that FUSW has received a bequest from the estate of Connie Hart. Connie and Gil Hart were members when FUSW was in Yonkers, and they raised their three children in our congregation. Their daughter Zoe visited us several times last year on her way to see Connie, who moved many years ago. Connie did the original calligraphy for our "Sing and Rejoice" banner above the window (the one there now is a replacement). The stained glass behind the pulpit, from the old church, was purchased by Gil and Connie and brought here to display. Connie is also known for writing the lyrics for the UU hymn "What Wondrous Love." Zoe wrote, "I am so glad that FUSW is receiving a gift from my mom's estate. It is definitely a community that remained close to her heart wherever she went in her life." We have sent a letter expressing our thanks to Connie Hart's family.
Note: This gift will not be used for this year's operating expense budget, approved by the congregation at the Annual Meeting.
