The 7 UU Principles in Arts & Crafts

Come join us outdoors this Sunday, September 18th, 11am, outside the fellowship’s lower level for some creative socializing.

During our appreciative inquiry process a few years ago, we learned that people much appreciated the times we spend socializing with a purpose.

This Sunday, we’ll be bringing tables and arts and crafts supplies from our huge collection on the lower level outside, then we’ll look at our seven UU principles and think for each of us, which principle means the most in this moment.

Then, we’ll each create something to tell the story of our beliefs, our hopes, and/or our challenges relating to our chosen principle. At then end, we’ll invite all to share their creations and thoughts. Music most welcome. Led by Alyssa & Wenda.

MASK NOTES: Our board is still requiring KN95 or N95 masks (NO FABRIC MASKS, and no surgical masks, either) of folks entering the building to use the restroom when we have outdoor events. No masks are required outdoors.
