Come join our Service this Sunday, June 12th, 11am by Zoom or in person.
In honor of Pride Month, Brian will dust off an old presentation which complicates sexualities with a mix of historical facts, stories, sticky questions, and his favorite feedback on this presentation. Weather permitting and technology permitting, the service will be outside around the back of the fellowship building, with Zoom by laptop.
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 are past the target “close” of the annual UUFA Pledge Drive, but more pledges are definitely welcome. The Executive committee met 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. –
