THANK YOU!
Thank you to  the wonderful folks of ALL AGES who came out to participate in our first Intergenerational Sunday service this past week. We learned some things. We made some new friends. And we experienced the power of a well-timed puppet show. If you have requests or feedback on this developing project, please feel free to reach out to DLRE, Amy Day @ comm@huuf.org
We’d love to hear how we can serve you better!

But mostly, we look forward to seeing you.

When the Veil is Thinnest
(click to reserve an in person seat)
Join Us! –(in person)
Sunday, October 31 at 11 a.m.
 This autumnal Sunday focuses on several traditions that honor deceased ancestors and loved ones. These include the pagan holy day Samhain (SAH-win) aka All Hallows Eve or Halloween, and Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead from Mexico), as well as the Christian All Saints Day and All Souls Day.
What do these traditions, and other sources, have to say about the veil between life, death – and the hereafter? We’ll also remember and honor/mourn/celebrate our own dear departed. So, whether attending in-person or online, you’re invited to bring photos and/or mementos of late loved ones.
Really? I Never KnUU That
(click to reserve an in person seat)
Join Us! –(in person)
Sunday, November 7 at 11 a.m.
Courageous, compassionate characters people Unitarian Universalism’s inception and development as a progressive faith tradition. As part of November’s “Holding History” theme, this service will explore inspiring accounts of those who helped make UU-ism a tradition of inclusiveness, equality and comprehensive kindness.

SUNDAY SERVICES AT HUUF
Come and Join Us!
As the weather becomes cooler and wetter, we will be holding most
Sunday services going forward in the Sanctuary.
We have set a limit of 40 persons indoors for each service. This number
allows chairs to be set at least 4-6 feet apart and for much of the room to
remain open. We also open the windows and doors to maximize airflow.
We believe this number is safe since everyone is masked, and we have
replaced singing with humming, for now.
If you have not participated in a Sunday service since we renewed in-
person services in July, I want to encourage you to consider joining us now.
While Zoom certainly has been a wonderful tool for us during this past year
and a half, there is something quite different about sharing your presence
in the Sanctuary with HUUF friends.
Please be sure to sign up for each service that you want to attend on the
form on the HUUF website.
I hope to see many more of you in person on Sundays!
-David Marshak
** If using the online sign up sheet does not work for you, simply contact the office via email or phone 707-822-3793 and I’ll reserve your seat for you! |
