Congregation Survey
To prepare for the January 30 "Fireside Chat," we have created a survey to gather information and take the pulse of the congregation. It should take no more than 5 minutes of your time, so please fill out this important survey. You may remain anonymous or share your name in the comments - your choice. Either way, we need your input! Questions? Contact Rina (admin@fusw.org). Click here to open the survey.

FUSW Book Group
The FUSW book group is currently reading Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid, which The Guardian says is "a thrilling millennial take on the 19th-century novel of manners" and NPR calls "a page-turner with beautifully drawn characters and a riveting plot." Interested in joining the discussion? Contact Denise Woodin (dcw2@optonline.net).
