FUUSM  Happenings   

Ballantyne Snowperson Challenge Spring is on the way, but the challenge continues until April 1.

Many wonderful entries have helped to warm our hearts and community and raised over $500 for the current budget.  Reminder to send your $10 check of support to FUUSM for additional scupltures, and share the photos.



Let’s Go Fly a Kite!!   

For every family that flies a kite, the Ballantynes will donate $25 to FUUSM.  Flying has started and ends May 1st. On the second of May we will draw for the winner of a $100 gift certificate. Take a picture of your family flying a kite and send it to the fuusm email list for all to see - You will have to run, let go, and watch it soar!

If you make your own kite, and get it in the air, we will donate an extra $5 bonus for your family's kite outing. You may enter as many times as you like, however: after your first kiting you must donate $10 to FUUSM. 

We will pay for your family's first outing only. You will be placed in the drawing for every kite you fly, which means if you fly 3 kites, you pay for 2, and will be in the drawing 3 times.



The Cherish ALL Life Project 

Members and friends of all ages: You are invited to make a mini movie on your phone to investigate this years’ theme question:  How can we be mindful and authentic in cherishing all life?  I am asking members and friends to make a short movie, so we as viewers can experience the life of the one who creates the movie. Photos are welcome and will be in the final product but try a short movie.  It’s not about being perfect. It’s about the joy and love for ALL life. Spring is coming and just the anticipation brings hope and joy to share in service.  Send your movie to me – Jane Tumas-Serna (jtumas.serna at gmail.com)



Come Help with the Warming House Project      

Located at 312 Front Street, the former parsonage beside the First Congregation Church in Marietta. 

Thank you to all who helped with the meals for the Warming House this past week.  

In March the hours have been changed to 12:00 to 3:30, Monday through Saturday. (Closed Sunday)

Volunteers are needed for serving and food preparation for each Tuesday from now til May first.  It is about a two hour commitment (usually 12:30 to 2:30).  We have learned that lots of sweets are not necessary, and that meat, salad, rolls, potatoes and cornbread are big hits.  If you can volunteer please let me know.  -Beth Lepore
