THIS SUNDAY at 11am, please join our “online traveling” to the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Marietta (FUUSM). Here’s what’s on their website, here, about their July 26th service:
Our Call To Care for One Another
FUUSM principles and COVID-19
July 26th 11am Annie Warmke, speaker
The members and friends of FUUSM have been a shining example of practicing care for others during the pandemic. How do our caring actions and other decisions reflect on our principles, and how can we strive to live up to the challenges of the COVID-19 virus?

This Week:
UUFA’s DONATION DAY
We all have TWO choices of where to donate food for our big UUFA-sponsored donation day for OU international students stranded in Athens without stipends or employment possibilities this summer due to the pandemic.
FIRST CHOICE: for an hour starting at 6pm on Monday, July 27th, Andy Ray will be in the UUFA parking lot to collect food donations from us to take to Baker Center on Tuesday morning, as per below.
SECOND CHOICE: Our official UUFA donation day is Tuesday, July 28th 9:00am-11:00am at the ground level entrance of Baker Center. Pull up to the Go Bus bus-stop sign; volunteers will be watching for vehicles and will unload for you (wearing masks and gloves).
We hope you can contribute. If you are donating from your own pantry, please be sure items are unopened, and not outdated. Food from your garden most welcome.
Please note that Cats’ Cupboard (the Baker Center free food distribution location on the ground floor) has extremely limited cold storage, and requests shelf-stable items only. Due to health and safety concerns, they are unable to break down bulk packaging, so please select individual- or family-size packaged items only.
• Feminine hygiene products
GOODBYE, BEAKER
The Ray family’s cat Beaker, a frequent visitor to our fellowship building, has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. He will be missed. Thank you to Diana for allowing us to share the sad news, and allowing us to share this photo.
