Religious Exploration for Children & Youth

All are welcome to join our fellowship for an all-ages service on Sunday, June 1st as we begin our exploration of the new monthly theme, Freedom. RE will meet as a one-room schoolhouse on June 8, 15, and 22 as well as July 13 and 27. 

Athens Pride is almost here! UUFA will be walking in the parade and tabling at the festival. Sign up here if you can volunteer for an hour or two at our table!
 
The parade will begin at 5 PM – stay tuned for more information about our meet-up location!
