Let’s Go To The Movies!

Are you a movie lover? Do you like to go to a theater sometimes rather than watch in your living room? Several people have expressed interest in reestablishing the UUFA movie group that we called Film Fans. Before COVID changed everything in our lives, several of us would gather once a month to attend a movie, and we enjoyed another opportunity to share in fun with our UUFA family and friends.

The UUFA Film Fans will be attending two movies in July, both at Athens Cine: Oppenheimer on Friday, July 21, at 5:15 p.m. and The Life of Judge Roy Bean on Tuesday, July 25, at 2:30 p.m.

Contact Carol-Lee Baker (carlee1945@gmail.com, 706-483-2314) or look for the group in Realm and join today!

Share the Plate/Cause-of-the-Month: Athens-Oconee CASA

During April Athens-Oconee Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), a local non-profit, volunteer organization that provides advocacy for children in foster care, will receive one half of all undesignated offerings. For details contact justice@uuathensga.org

Help with Food Insecurity through April CANtributions

Please continue to bring non-perishable food items to Fellowship Hall’s wicker baskets. While all CANtributions are appreciated, in April the Athens Area Emergency Food Bank is especially in need of canned meats (canned chicken, beef stew, chicken and dumplings, spam), tomatoes (the chunky version such as whole, stewed or diced), and snacks (chips, nuts, granola bars, snack crackers). To give by credit card, visit uuathensga.org/give and look for “Charitable Giving.” To give by check, make the check out to UUFA and put “CANtributions 1-8016” in the memo line. To learn more, contact justice@uuathensga.org. If you are experiencing food insecurity or know someone in our UUFA community who is, please contact Rev. Pippin (revpippin@uuathensga.org).
