HUUF Leadership Opportunities

|

Join the HUUF Leadership Team!
“Leadership is not about titles positions or work hours. It’s about relationships.”
Three board opportunities are currently available for service starting in September (we have extended our previous July timeframe)
HUUF’s Board will be an integral part of our transition and growth.
This is an amazing opportunity for HUUF members to help guide our beloved organization while upholding the values that we represent.
Be the Change!
Collaborating and learning while deepening Fellowship relationships is a spiritual practice.

Summer 2022 Small Group Discussion Series
 We begin the greater exploration of who we want to become as a Fellowship in these times, and what kind of ministry we believe will inspire and nurture our spirits and hearts, with conversations about our worship experiences and what we seek from spiritual fellowship.Sunday, July 17
The Program and Worship Committee is facilitating a three part summer series for listening and gathering input on what we as a congregation want for the Future of Worship. We will gather at HUUF and on zoom for small-group discussions, a chance to think together and not just listen. This Sunday is Part 1 when we explore together Unitarian Universalism as an engaged spiritual tradition and what the spiritual source is at HUUF that helps you live your life in the world.
Sunday, July 31
The second in our exploration of the Future of Worship asks you to consider, again in a small group discussion format, what spiritual experiences at HUUF are meaningful to you? What is missing? And what would you like to try differently?
Sunday, August 21
Again thinking with others, not just listening, the final discussion in our exploration of the Future of Worship asks what elements of worship are essential? And what innovations could we create together that would advance the Future of Worship?

You will evaluate your test results and have a chance to discuss them with the group.
This exercise will also give you insights into knowing your family and friends better.

Fellowship Happenings
- Join Us for a Therapeutic Weed Pulling Session:
Hello dear friends, we are offering an opportunity to take your political frustrations (or any old frustrations for that matter) out on the weeds that are marching into our landscaped beds at HUUF. Please join us Saturday, July 23, from 10am to 1pm, and we’ll point you in the direction of those dastardly entities.
~Many thanks from you grounds committee
- Fellow UU, Moving to Humboldt, is Looking for Housing: Unitarian Universalist Church of Fresno member, Amanda Dinscore, recently accepted a job at CalPoly Humboldt and will be moving to the area in August. Her family of four (plus a small dog) are in need of temporary housing while they look for a home to buy. Can you help with her family’s journey? Please reach out to Amanda directly adinscore@gmail.com if you know of any housing prospects or reliable housing contacts. She can provide more information if you’d like, and Rev. Tim Kutzmark from the Fresno congregation would be able to serve as a reference if needed. Let’s welcome her to the community!
- Pastoral Counseling Team: The Pastoral counseling team is here to help with pastoral support as part the Fellowship’s shared ministry. With Peter’s departure the team will be Suzanne Kimmel, Tom Lewis, and Shawn Nichols, if you have pastoral needs, a meeting can be set at the Fellowship or elsewhere, or by phone if that is preferable. Contact HUUF Congregational Administrator, Bridgette Garuti, to coordinate an appointment.

A note about Rev. Farriday’s sermon recordings:
Recordings of the sermons Rev. Farriday offered at HUUF are no longer available to the general public via HUUF’s website. Yet recipients of the Weekly can still access those via this link: https://huuf.org/select-worship-services-2021-2022/ through 6/30/23
This limited access is because the HUUF Board supports both Rev. Farriday’s desire for online privacy, and the UUA and UU Ministers Association position that ministers’ sermons are their intellectual property. Hence Rev. Farriday asked that his sermons remain accessible to HUUF members and friends for a year, but not be publicly available.
