February 2, 2025 – In the Belly: Passage through the long winter
We awoke nearly three months agoseemingly into a different world, a strange, cold world, or so it seemed. But it wasn’t really different. The cold was already here, waiting for us to feel it. And while the calendar tells us we’re just past Imbolc, halfway to spring, it seems like a lifetime away. What can we learn from the sudden intrusion of the stark and frigid, and how can we bring warmth into a frozen and barren landscape so devoid of empatny? Let’s look into the myths and traditions of the past for insights and lessons. We welcome Nellie Werger as our service leader and Bill White as special guest speaker. We look forward to seeing you Sunday !
February 9, 2025 – Useless Beauty
Behind the busy-ness of life are assumptions about what gives us meaning and purpose. The allure of success, productivity and efficiency can obscure much of the beauty that is present in the everyday. Drawing from personal experience from a year-long camping adventure and from contemporary social science, Pete Mather’s reflection will guide us in embracing what is beautiful and sacred as we seek to enrich our personal lives and communities.

UUFA Person of the Month – Richard Thieret , President This month our member of the month is Richard Thieret. Richard is reconized due to his diligence and care for our hall overall and volunteer work to keep our building use going. Richard has gone the extra mile this past month due to the winter weather. He worked with local businesses to get our parking lot shoveled as best as possible in what was an unusual storm and long, cold month. In addition to the building care he also led a fundraiser in December showcasing many beautiful items made of wood – by Richard ! The fundraiser made around $150 but most of all the items were one of a kind items, handmade and full of love. Thank You Richard…your care for our community does not go unnoticed.
