Green Sanctuary and CO/SA Committees: Fresh Start Children’s Project
Wednesday, August 24 @ 7pm (and every Wednesday)
BUUF through the Green Sanctuary Committee and the Community Outreach & Social Action (CO/SA) Committee has agreed to provide volunteers to assist with the Fresh Start Children’s Garden in Benton Harbor. The neighborhood children’s garden has been led by Emma Kinnard for 10 years. The garden is located at the corner of May and Pearl Streets in Benton Harbor (1104 Pearl Street). The garden has been planted and volunteers are needed to weed and lay fabric and hay between vegetable rows. Come for 5 minutes or come for an hour, but come see the beautiful garden and visit even if you are not able to assist. This event is weekly.
All are also welcome every Thursday from 5-7 to assist neighborhood children in harvesting vegetables
BUUF End of Summer Picnic
August 28, 2016 @ 10:30am*
It is almost time for our yearly End of Summer Picnic! This event allows members to connect with each other and to get ready for the upcoming new Liturgical year. Friends of members are certainly welcome and encouraged to come for some fun in the sun! This event will be a potluck.
This event will include “Circle Talk” of what our summers have been like, and a couple of inter generational games. It is sure to be full of fun, sun, food and fellowship!
Emily Bettencourt is the organizer for this event. Please send her an email at embett42@gmail.com with the dish you are planning to bring. Also, during the games we’ll need 1-2 people to do the grilling so it’s ready by 12 noon.
*This event is in place of our regular Sunday Service.
There will be no service on Sunday, September 4

Planning Ahead: Sunday Service and Pot Luck
Join us Sunday, September 11 for our annual Water Ceremony and New Member Gathering. All who attend are encouraged to bring water from around the world to contribute to our ceremony. Start thinking now about where you might have an opportunity to gather some water in anticipation of this service! If you are a new member, or would like to be, and have not spoken to Renée Kauffman, please email her at rdjtck@yahoo.com.
Our first Sunday of the Month Potluck will follow service. Bring a dish to share or just bring your appetite!
September Book Club
September’s book is The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown. Book Club will meet this month at the home of Gloria Weberg on Friday, September 16th at 7pm.
Volunteers Needed!
Volunteers are needed to mow BUUF’s grass with our new, state-of-the-art,solar powered electric mower! What a treat! A sign up sheet will be posted in the Fuller Fellowship Hall for those willing to donate an hour (the battery only lasts that long) of their time to mow our grounds.
Harvey Johnson is happy to answer any questions about the lawn, the mower, the grounds of BUUF, and life in general.
