April’s Choice is Having Our Say: the Delany Sisters First 100 Years by Sarah Delany.
Thinking ahead – the group would like to discuss Alexander Hamilton by Chernow but due to the length and weight of this material we are deferring this for a few months to give everyone a chance to get this book and work their way through it. Start now!

June’s choice is Ahab’s Wife: Or, The Star Gazer by Sena Jeeter Naslund. (This book is also fairly hefty so start early if you have limited reading time.)

Volunteers are needed to present/lead for SUMMER BUUF Sunday Services. Our summer services are more informal, often in a circle and without music accompanist. All topics are encouraged that tie to our 7 Principals and are respectful of others. A sign-up schedule will be posted in the Fuller Fellowship Hall.
*There will be no service on Labor Day weekend Sunday, Sept. 4.
If you have any questions, please contact a Sunday Service Committee Member (Dennis, Renee, Harvey, Julie).
Volunteers are also 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.
