We sing of community now in the making in every far continent, region, and land;

with those of all races, all times and names and places, 

we pledge ourselves in covenant firmly to stand.      -Edwin T. Buehrer (1894-1969)

Green Sanctuary meets today on Zoom @ 12:30

You are invited to bring items to FUUSM for our area food pantry.  

Together we can make a difference in addressing hunger in our community.

The Holiday Card Project starts TODAY!

Your packet of holiday cards will be ready for you to add your special greetings to our friends in area nursing care facilities. Packets will include a sheet of suggested greetings that you may add to the cards, but writing greetings in your own words is even better. Since we are not doing this as a workshop, please take the cards home with you, add your message, and return the signed cards to the FUUSM 

Office by December 8th.  The project team will be assembling cards for delivery shortly after that.

You are welcome at FUUSM!  Please use a Building Entry Log (bright red folder) 

in the Office, Sanctuary, & Social Hall to sign in & out when you’re in the buildings.

FUUSM Safety Guidelines for Building Use are being reviewed by the Safety Committee & Board.
