Come join our Service this Sunday, May 29th, 11am by Zoom or in person. Depending on the weather, we may meet outside on the deck or by the lower level and Zoom from there to those who choose to participate from home. Masks are required indoors, but optional outside.
For this session, I would like to get us thinking about how Spring is a time of rebirth, reprioritizing, and, sadly, cleaning too. Let’s give thanks and share our plans together for a guided discussion and even a little dancing. – Brian
MASK NOTE: Our board is still requiring vaccination cards and kn95 or equivalent masks (NO FABRIC MASKS) of folks entering the building for Sunday services or to use the restroom when we have outdoor events. We have many folks who truly appreciate us flipping the “usual narrative.” Usually Zoom is for those who are at risk where in-person places are not safe for them. At the fellowship, we’re doing Zoom for anyone who doesn’t want to wear a nk95 or n95 mask or get vaccinated, thus keeping the fellowship safe for the most vulnerable. We do, however, allow our presenters to unmask when speaking in the front of the fellowship. Some choose to stay masked.

PLEDGES
We have about two weeks to go until the target “close” of the annual UUFA Pledge Drive. The Executive committee will meet June 11 to assess the fiscal state of things for the coming 2023 fiscal year (which begins July 1, 2022). If you have not yet returned a pledge form please do. Pledge forms were sent out via “snail mail” with stamped addressed envelopes. They are also available at UUFA; or you can send them in via email to: treasurer@uuathensoh.org. Thanks for your time, attention and support. – Jessie R.
