Self-Care & World-Care

Come join our Service this Sunday, September 4th, 11am by Zoom or in person wearing an N95 or KN95 mask.

Brian R. will lead a group discussion on Self-Care and World-Care. Please come ready to talk about where you struggle and to share your own tips. Also, after you’ve taken care of yourself and your loved ones, where do choose to put your efforts to better the world?

MASK NOTES: Our board is still requiring KN95 or N95 masks (NO FABRIC MASKS, and no surgical masks, either) 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 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.

GREENSHEET NOTE:

If you ever don’t receive this Greensheet newsletter in your inbox, you’re not alone.

The WordPress system we use for both our website (www.uuathensoh.org) and our Greensheet sometimes stops sending the Greensheet to an email address. We have no clue why. Yes, we’ve asked people to check their spam folders, but the Greensheet emails aren’t there.

If you don’t receive the Greensheet, please let us know. We’ll trick the system by deleting you and then re-adding you. Please know you can ALWAYS read the Greensheet online at http://uuathensoh.org/home/the-greensheet/ AND, if you have a Facebook account, you can see our latest news on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/uuathensoh 

 

YOUR CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE:
UUFA’s STRATEGIC PLANNING

UPDATE: We’re had few people volunteer. If you’re new, this is YOUR chance to help set the direction of the fellowship.

UUFA needs your ideas as we seek to plan out the next five years. Below are the three strategic plan goals the fellowship’s executive committee created, to help guide members and interested parties as we plan for our congregation’s future. If any of the three statements below pique your interest, and you want to be part of the discussion, please contact UUFA president Richard at rthieret at gmail dot com or text him at our area code and 8184775 (hiding the area code and omitting a hyphen in order to confuse robots collecting numbers for telemarketing purposes):

  1. UUFA will increase the use of the building by the community in concordance with UUA’s seven principles.

  2. UUFA will grow the congregation in strength and community.

  3. UUFA will continue to improve its Sunday offerings.
