How We Do Community: Power & Transformation
We are a small but mighty group of people who choose to gather on Sunday mornings. What does it mean that UUs have congregational polity? What does it mean to covenant together? UUFLG is what we make it; we get to be the results of our words and actions. How and why do we come together as a congregation, and who decides? What are the articles and principles and sources about? And does this connect to how citizens of the USA choose their leaders? I think so. Show up, commit to relating, express your gifts, and don’t forget to vote! –Shams Cohen, Minister
As part of Shams’ Systematic Theology series, this week’s sermon is inspired by ecclesiology and covenant. You may wish to explore UU Article II Values and UU Principles.

Samhain/ All Souls/ Day of the Dead
This Sunday, minister Shams Cohen and member Georgia Platts will collaborate on a multigenerational service, inviting you to bring photos and mementos of your beloved dead for our Altar of Remembrance. Hymns, poems, stories, and a history of the holidays will all be explored, as we have fun and go deep, while the veil between the worlds is thin. Costumes are welcome! In preparation, you may want to review this hymn. Also, before there was the film Coco, there was The Book of Life, which Shams recommends watching.

Stronger Together
To make our world better, each of us must celebrate and share our unique gifts to nurture our planet. As curious, spiritually independent people, our Fellowship strives to provide an open and supportive environment to explore the creativity, strength, and wisdom within the diverse experiences and aspirations of each of us. We find joy and meaning in such a community. And by working together, we strengthen our connections.
