What's the best advice to give a worm?
*Announcements*
*Guest at Your Table Boxes and Envelopes are still available *in the
sanctuary foyer. If you opt to write a check, please date it Jan. 11, 2026,
and make it payable to UUSC with GAYT on the memo line, and put it in one
of the GAYT envelopes. A donation box for GAYT envelopes is in Fellowship
Hall. Questions? Ask Nancy Luthy.

*Exterior Holiday Decorating*
The FUUSM Men's Group will decorate FUUSM's exterior next Sunday, but
additional individuals (all genders welcome) could make the work go faster.
The plan is to work on the decorations after the abbreviated service and
holiday card signing in the Social Hall, starting sometime around
noon. Should the prevent decorating on November 30th, December 7th would be
our rain date. George Banziger will coordinate.

*We're All Invited to the UUA's Central Eastern Region Winter Institute! *

*February 13-16, 2026, Salt Fork Lodge, Cambridge, OH*
Winter Institute (WI) is a long held tradition of gathering over
President’s Day weekend for a midwinter retreat at Salt Fork State Park in
Cambridge, Ohio. This retreat was the brainchild of a group of Summer
Institute (SI) attendees who wisely determined that a year between SI
gatherings is just TOO LONG to wait to gather with extended Beloved
UU Community! In these difficult times, we are reminded how sacred it is to
be in community, raising our voices in song, sharing meals together, and
enjoying togetherness. The WI Planning committee is delighted to invite you
to join us in person for Winter Institute at Salt Fork! Registration is
open and is a 2 step process. Hotel reservations are due by January 15,
early bird rate for WI registration is also January 15. Learn more at the CER
website
