A coffee get-together from 10:00 to 11:30 am on Thurs, 12/9.
A gathering with light refreshments after the service on Sun, 12/12.
We plan to hold these gatherings outdoors on the patio, weather permitting. Reservations are requested for both so we can plan for food and anticipate numbers for COVID protocols. Here is the link to RSVP click here or you can email rsvp@uufscc.org to indicate which event(s) you want to attend.
