ONGOING…

COVENANT GROUP, sharing from the heart to build community:  meets on first Sundays at the KUUF office in Houghton. Covenant Group welcomes new members

Meditation: Every Friday at noon we gather for meditation instruction and practice at the KUUF Office (HOUGHTON at Trinity Episcopal 2nd floor annex, 203 Montezuma St). A short reading is followed by a period of simple silent meditation. Then we talk a bit, end by 12:50, and return to our day refreshed. All are welcome!

On Potluck Sundays, if possible, bring your own eating utensils to avoid using disposable ones. Wash them at home with your next meal’s dishes. If you choose to use the reusable plastic dishes provided by the Fellowship, please wash them yourself in the kitchen to reduce the dish washing chore of the hospitality team.

We have created a page for sharing all sorts of interesting, but not directly KUUF or UUA or Midwest District related information. To access the Facebook page, go to our kuuf.net site and go down the links on the left side. The link to click is just below "minister's  midmonth".  Then bookmark the page and check it regularly for new events, articles, entertainment, etc.  Anyone can see it, you don't have to be a facebook user. If have something to share but aren't on Facebook yourself, you can send your item to Barry Fink barryfink@chartermi.net or Amlan amlan.m@gmail.com to post it for you.
