We Are Going!
Faith Development News Letter
The bravery that makes it into the history books may save the world, but our ordinary courage keeps each other going. Watching someone else make it through another day helps us endure. Witnessing someone else confront bigotry allows us to bravely be more open about who we are.

They say that courage is found by digging deep, but most often it is passed on.

Greetings Families of FUUSB,
This October's worship theme is Courage, and so we continue bravely moving forward with our Faith Development programs, even as our constant reinvention leaves us uncertain what will come next! So far this fall, what has been coming to the Meeting House is a lot of wonderful energy, new and returning families, and fabulous volunteers. If you haven't made it back yet, it is never too late to join this caravan of wanderers and worshippers!
We hope to see you soon!
In faith,
Erika
Fall Festival!
Sunday October 30, 11:15-12:30
We hope you will make space in your schedules to spend some time having seasonal fun on our beautiful grounds!
The YUUth Group are creating decorations, carving pumpkins, readying the leaf pile, and generally planning many fun activities for kids and the young at heart. These will include cider pressing, spooky stories, face painting, games, goodie bags, and more! Costumes are welcome!
We had trouble fitting in a separate "Nature Art" event this fall , so we are inviting the congregation to join in the creation of ephemeral works of “Nature Art” on our Meeting House grounds during the festival. We’ll have some pre-selected natural materials on tables for those who can’t get down low to make their creations.
All the regular coffee hour spread will be available, plus extra snacks!
Listening Circle - This Week
Help with the Search for a settled Minister!
Parents of Children and Youth in the FUUSB,

The Ministerial Search Team would like to hear from you all. It is important that a new minister candidate hear what hopes and dreams you have for our Society and for your children and youth within our Society. Having your insights about the strengths and challenges of the FUUSB will help our Team to represent our Society as thoroughly and completely as we can.

We are offering a specific Listening Session for parents of children and youth this coming Sunday, October 23, from 11:30-1:00. We will have child care and there will be food for everyone. If you can join us in-person, we will be meeting in the Community Room. You can also join via zoom, using this link.

Please join us and share your thoughts, insights and hopes with other parents.
