What’s Going on at UUFA? Join Us at the Fall Activity Fair

Sunday, August 21st’s theme is “Opening a Window to Fellowship.” The service will offer reflections from members on the spiritual dimension of participating in the activities of the Fellowship.

Afterwards the Lay Ministry Council will host an Activity Fair where you can learn more about UUFA’s multitude of programs and when they meet.

Recognize any of these fine folx from the 2014 Activity Fair!?
