Coffee Hour is almost as important as the service, and for it to be truly
welcoming, we need more than coffee. The coffee-hour volunteers aren't
responsible for providing the food, just for serving it up, so please bring
something tasty to share. We don't need crackers or tortilla chips—we have
plenty of leftovers. Please help make FUUSM more welcoming and coffee hour
more enjoyable by contributing something yummy.

The Gift of Nurturing, Deborah Singer Pires, guest speaker

“Nurturing encompasses behaviors necessary for the healthy development of
someone or something we care about, i.e., children, pets, relationships,
the Earth.”

Welcome Song    “Whoever You Are, We Welcome You,” by Hal Walker

Whoever you are, we welcome you.

Wherever you come from, we welcome you.

Whomever you love, we welcome you.
