[Fuusm-l] Work Day reminder and Order of Service for 9/15: Thriving Along the Way

Fri Sep 13 10:57:04 CDT 2024

Please don't forget: *Your help is needed Saturday (tomorrow) from 9 till
noon for a work day* at FUUSM. No tools or experience needed, just
willingness to help keep our beloved buildings and grounds in good repair.

Please join us at 11 a.m. Sunday in person in the sanctuary, via Facebook Live,
or on Zoom at
https://zoom.us/j/96052465552?pwd=SW1vWituTFlwc01vN2VLMzBQTWplZz09
Meeting ID: 960 5246 5552
Passcode: fuusm2323
Please bring something yummy to share for coffee hour. Fresh fruit,
veggies, and homemade contributions are encouraged. Finger foods require
fewer dishes, which helps the volunteers who will clean up afterward.
The more goodies, the merrier!

the stakes are very high. Take courage, for deep down, there is another
truth: you are not alone.” —Wayne B. Arnason
