Bridging Ceremony July 31

All are invited to join the UUFA in a special Bridging Ceremony in which we celebrate our newest young adult and youth group members. The ceremony will take place during service on Sunday, July 31 at 10:30 a.m.

This will be a very special service to honor participants as they cross over the bridge, signifying that they are entering the next stage of life at the UUFA. Rising sixth graders will be welcomed by our youth group and high school graduates will be welcomed by the adults in our fellowship.

If there is a rising 6th grader in your family who would like to take part in the bridging ceremony, please contact Kahla at DRE@uuathensga.org for more information. We are also seeking young adults (18-35) who would like to welcome our newest young adults.
