Worship Service: What Kind of Times are These

Anne Watson Born

Poetry gives us containers for our fears and our joys in chaotic times; it enables us to express our feelings and thoughts more deeply and coherently; in its many forms it facilitates action. Join us for a service centered on poetry and music, both of which speak to our current condition while keeping love at the center of our efforts.

Split the Plate February 2025: Wildfire Relief Fund of the California Community Foundation

As of January 17th, the wildfires in LA County have claimed at least 24 lives, destroyed thousands of homes and businesses, and displaced more than 180,000 Angelenos. Yet, in the face of devastation, the Los Angeles community stands united.

The California Community Foundation has a long history of making a direct and meaningful impact on individuals and families in need, ensuring that support reaches those most affected. Since 2003, the CCF Wildfire Recovery Fund has provided over $30 million to communities affected by disasters.

Half of the monies collected during worship this month will help them recover from this devastation. Learn more...

FUUSN Office Closed on Monday, February 17, 2025 for Presidents' Day

We will reopen at 9am on Tuesday, February 18th as usual.
