“Keep HUUF Humming” 2026 Pledge Party

Set Up Recurring Donations or Make a One Time Payment Here
We all seek a place where we can breathe deeply and be in a safe haven. A place we create with others to soften our challenges. For many of us that place is HUUF. Keeping our congregation healthy requires funds. Building maintained, grounds kept up, staff paid, heat and lights on. Funds are spent wisely. We deeply value our ministry. We are blessed. Our pledge goal of $175,000 will meet these goals. Both your family and HUUF feel the financial pressures of these times. We are especially thankful and appreciate deeply your generous offerings of money and time to make this community work. We promise to make your contribution count.
Last year we did not have a pledge party. This year we think a great big party is overdue. We’re planning some rollicking and giggles for our UU fellowship. The big bash— APRIL 25th at 5:30pm. SAVE THE DAY.
OUR THEME: Keeping the HUUF beehive humming. We all love Bees. We admire how they work together as one big colony each tending their duties and buzzing away to find flower nectar. They are keenly aware that they must make honey to survive while that is not easy, it is necessary.
Our party starts at 5:30 PM with Hors d’ oeuvres and drinks in the lobby. In the sanctuary each table will have a host. The children will have a pizza party in RE with clowns and balloons and Bee projects. Wearing Bee costumes and telling Bee stories would be especially grand.
For the Adult Bees THIS IS A POTLUCK so bring your favorite dish. We are asking each guest to MAKE RESERVATIONS by using the “Sign up Genius” link HERE. The last day for reservations is April 12th.
Then the fun begins for Adult bees: clowns Sean and Jen, music Elizabeth and Doug, jugglers and jokesters Sean, Montana, Dan and finally The Game Show. Don’t miss the fun.
Let’s keep HUUF humming. RSVP Today!

“Group singing is a powerful catalyst for social change and community building. We sing for the joy of creating something beautiful together in the moment.” Maggie McKnight
Community song circles welcome all voices, bringing together people who love to sing, regardless of experience level. Song circles don’t focus on performing for an audience; instead, learn songs from a variety of traditions by call-and-response, and sing for the joy of creating something beautiful together in the moment. Group singing is a powerful way of connecting with each other, and with something deep within ourselves—and the music we make as we support each other through song call forth the singing voice that is every human’s birthright.

“The Year to Save the Earth” – A Multimedia Experience by Jim Scott
05/01/2026 at 7:00 pm - 9:00 pmMixing powerful songs and beautiful projected images, “The Year to Save the Earth” takes us from grieving to celebration and from protest to positive vision for the planet. Jim Scott’s lyrical melodies and outspoken poetry celebrate what’s beautiful, amazing, and fragile about our Earth. Facing the urgency of the environmental crisis, this musical and visual experience challenges us to feel, to learn and to act.
Prolific composer, guitarist Jim Scott was awarded an NEA grant to present this multimedia concert in Worcester MA with band and chorus. As well as hard reality, the program’s message is one of optimism with many invitations to join in the singing.
Formerly a member of the Paul Winter Consort, Jim was composer of their celebrated Missa Gaia/Earth Mass and sang their anthem song Common Ground. He has toured the world, recorded nine CDs of original music and published a growing line of choral works. One of the originators of the Unitarian Universalist “Green Sanctuary” program, Jim also compiled the Earth and Spirit Songbook, an anthology of 110 songs of Earth by many contemporary composers.

05/08/2026 at 5:30 pm - 6:45 pm
This gathering is a gentle, communal ritual rooted primarily in sacred song, supported by meditation and simple ceremony. Together, we will sing with the Earth—offering intentional vibration as a form of prayer, communication, and shared healing. Through voice and breath, we enter relationship with the land beneath our feet and the Earth within our own bodies.
Everything in the natural world communicates through vibration—through wind, water, stone, root, and rhythm. In this circle, we remember the human voice as a living instrument and song as one of the oldest ways of listening and responding to the land. When we sing together with intention, our voices carry vibration into the soil, into our bones, and into the wider web of life.
Human life and Earth life are inseparable. What we carry—grief, sorrow, and harm—has long been received and held by the Earth. In this gathering, we honor both our responsibility to tend what has been wounded and the Earth’s extraordinary capacity to transform pain into nourishment, beauty, and life.
The circle will be held outdoors on the HUUF grounds, weather permitting, so please dress warmly. If it is raining, we will move into the sanctuary.
This is the first of what is hoped to become a regular offering. All are welcome. No singing experience is needed. The gathering is free, with donations welcome to benefit Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.
Come as you are—your voice is enough.
