is looking for a way to connect during this time of disconnect, we encourage you to join us on Zoom.

Calling All Minecraft Players; Adults, Youth and Children
ChUUrchcraft uses the popular app Minecraft as a vehicle for processing learned information on world religions. A building with multiple rooms is created and supplied to the class. As the class learns about a world religion, part of each class is dedicated to designing a room within the building, devoted to the practice of that religion.
We will launch a ChUUrchcraft program in January 2021 and need a few folx to provide technical assistance. Contact Sara here to help.

Message from the UUFD Social Responsibility and Justice Team
Problems with food security and other resources continue to increase in our community and many organizations are trying to help, UUFD among them. We recognize that many requests for participation in drives for food, clothing and personal items are coming your way. We are being tapped in unprecedented ways to support those in our community that are falling further and further behind. We will continue to inform you about requests, but please know that we recognize it can be wearing and challenge your own resources. We deeply appreciate all that you do and respect your personal decision about your level of continued participation.
