Missing Power Cord – Barb Kidd purchased a small vacuum cleaner at our yard sale but when

She went home there was no power cord with it.   It was donated by one of FUUSMs folks.

Can you notify the church office if it was yours to let us know if you have the power cord.  Thank you.

MAY 13  (Mother’s Day)   GA:  Review of Congregational Study/Action Issues

Rev. Hawbaker will review and address the 2 CSAIs that will be addressed at General Assembly.  You’re invited to bring your input and feedback.

Undoing Intersectional White Supremacy 

Racism is fundamental to U.S. social systems. White supremacy culture operates economically, institutionally, politically, and culturally, shaping everyone's chances to live healthy, fulfilling lives. It is also the nation's most toxic export, shaping policies and practices that do profound harm to the Earth and all living things.



Dismantling Intersectional Oppression 

Systemic injustices intersect across environment, race, gender and all other forms of oppression. Identifying the underlying mechanisms which enable systemic and intersecting injustices enables us to mitigate their harm. Intersectional justice calls us to work together across oppressions and become a movement of movements.

UUA General Assembly 2018

“The call of our faith has a place for each of us. Join us in Kansas City to build courageous, collective leadership with tools, skills and connections.”

General Assembly is the annual meeting of our Unitarian Universalist Association. Attendees worship, witness, learn, connect, and make policy for the Association through democratic process. Anyone may attend; congregations must certify annually to send voting delegates. The 2018 General Assembly will be June 20-24 in Kansas City, MO. Most General Assembly events will be held in the Kansas City Convention Ctr.



UUA General Assembly 2018 Theme: All Are Called

Grounded in a deep belief that we are all prophets, Unitarian Universalists ask, “How can we faithfully meet the demands of our time?” The call to witness and act for justice in our society and in the world is clear. So, too, is the call to examine our structures and practices, dismantling and transforming those which fail to recognize the full humanity of all people and to honor the interdependent web of life. Join us in Kansas City as we dive deeply into questions of mission for our Unitarian Universalist Association, for our congregations and communities, and for each of us as individuals.
