Stewardship & Purpose
Stewardship is the responsible and careful management of something entrusted to one’s care. Are we using the resources that we have to craft lives of purpose and meaning? How are we caring for all that comprises UUFLG (members, building, board, staff, land, community, etc), and how do we wish to do so going forward? Are we holding the Fellowship’s mission in mind? Are we using our passions and sense of purpose to inspire our sustainable volunteerism? Are we giving generously of our energy, skills, and financial assets while also allowing ourselves to receive? Join us as we joyously launch the annual pledge drive, exploring the difference between transactional giving and mission-driven investment. –Shams Cohen, UUFLG minister

Butterflies: Myth, Ritual & Transformation
Many ancient cultures celebrated the coming of spring, which brings both birth and rebirth. Today we will look to the “natural myth” found in the butterfly’s metamorphosis to consider our own potential for rebirth and transformation. Myth and ritual seem to aid in personal evolution, and while I’m drawn to myth and ritual, my cerebral UU side wonders why and seeks a rational answer. So we will also explore how myth and ritual may aid personal growth (although we may never understand this mystery). –Georgia Platts, Service Lay Leader

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.
