Haikus Wanted!

Feel free to send the haikus you wrote during service last Sunday—or at any
other time—to Dawn on or before 10 a.m. on Monday, August 25. She will
compile them and submit them for publication in The Confluence, and maybe
we'll post a link to them on the FUUSM website!

Coffee Hour Volunteers Needed!

Coffee Hour volunteers are urgently needed for the third Sunday of odd
months (starting Sept. 21), the first Sunday of even months (starting  Oct.
5) and  the fourth Sunday of even months (starting Oct. 24). That’s a
three-hour shift just six times per year! If you can help, please talk to,
email, text or call Dawn.
