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.

Fellowship Happenings
- 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.
- HUUF monthly Newsletter: The Summer edition (July/August) has posted to the website. Take a look! Access it it Here

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.
