Big Thanks to those who have turned their reports in.

walking meditation (12-2pm), and sidewalk chalk art. This is a sample of an outdoor all ages gathering 

with healthy spacing, so please plan accordingly and take precautions.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Empty Bowls of the MOV (Facebook) - a local fundraiser is underway. This annual event brings the community together and raises nearly $5,000 each year for area food pantries. The online fundraising has generated $1,900.00. Consider how you might regularly support the local food pantries, or Harvest of Hope, 

and the local restaurants and businesses who need help now and in the future.

You can also make checks out to FUUSM, with Empty Bowls in the memo line, and send them to the Office (232 Third St. Marietta, OH 45750) if you prefer.



The UUA Board passed a resolution authorizing a 100% virtual GA for 2020. The Board’s decision alleviated much of the anxiety and gave the UUA’s Internet Technology Services team and program presenters time to plan a more robust and rewarding virtual experience.



Love is the doctrine of our church, and service is our prayer.

There are certainly some worthy projects in our greater community and wider world, and I hope this is a time to invest in your values and supporting the things you are passionate about.  These networks can save lives and ease suffering.  Thank-you for your choices and actions.  



For the added benefit of engaging together you might offer your skills and interests to help with some ongoing FUUSM projects:Send in your recipes to complete the Cook Book project.
