Rev. Dr. Debra Haffner & Rev. Joel Miller


At the 10pm service, we will hear a variety of readings and music, and we will sing together again, including the beautiful hymn, In the Bleak Midwinter. This service is a moment to be still, to enjoy some quiet, to breathe.

PARKING IN LOT ACROSS THE STREET FOR CHRISTMAS EVE

Rev. Debra and Rev. Joel have arranged for the lot across the street from FUUSN to be available for parking at the Christmas Eve services as well as to have the parking restrictions lifted on Highland Street on Tuesday night. We encourage our older members and members with disabilities to use these spots this Christmas Eve. A special thank you to Hattie Kerwin Derrick for arranging the introductions to the owner and the police chief to enable this to happen.

Ministers' Discretionary Fund: Special Offering


Each Christmas, we ask our members and friends to make a special donation to our Minister’s Discretionary Fund. This fund, administrated by our co-ministers, helps FUUSN members and friends during times of financial hardship and community organizations facing an unanticipated crisis. Please bring a check made out to FUUSN with MDF in the memo line or cash to the 7 pm or 10 pm service; you can also make your donation to the MDF online, go to https://onrealm.org/FUUSN/give/sunday or text "FUUSN" to 73256 to give using your mobile device.
