Online Worship Needs You

From our Minister, Viola Abbitt
Please know that even though we are physically distant from one another, I am here for you. Being alone as we engage in the ethical practice of physical distancing does not mean that we have to be lonely. Each day I post a thought on the congregation’s Facebook page (
www.facebook.com/fusw.uu
); you can comment and engage with each other there...

fusw.org
to make a virtual connection to show your support. Our expenses are ongoing. If you are one who usually puts cash in the plate please contribute financially in this way at this unusual time.
We also invite you to contribute to our Caring Committee
to help folks in our congregation who are in financial need. From our Donate page, click "Use this Donation For," select "Other," and then type "Caring Committee" where it says "Write a note."
