This Sunday, April 28, we celebrate a very important milestone in our fellowship’s history. It has been 60 years since we were first admitted to the AUA (American Unitarian Association). We are marking the occasion with a special Sunday service honoring significant individuals, events, accomplishments and artifacts from throughout our history. Among our special guest speakers will be two children of our original founders (Jim Fuller and Diane Fuller Brown in addition to their spouses). Our minister, Rev. Jim McConnell, will offer a homily titled, “Will You Still Love Me When I’m 64?” Dave Sarra will share a special Story for All Ages recalling what Religious Education classes looked like 15 to 20 years ago (and what our young adults looked like when they were youngsters!) Candace will again nurture our souls with piano music, and the BUUF Musicians will sing a special number.
This is a great opportunity to learn more about our fellowship’s history, pay tribute to members (alive and deceased) who contributed greatly to our formation and growth, and recommit to our mission of being “a welcoming and caring religious community dedicated to diversity of thought, social and environmental justice, and peace for all.” All members and friends are invited to bring items to our altar that represent a piece of BUUF history (photos, mementos, etc.), that were especially meaningful to our founders (books, artwork, etc.), or that signify BUUF’s special role in your life (symbols of fellowship, peace, nature, social justice, etc.)
Join us in community this Sunday, as we pay tribute to our rich history, current-day impact, and hope-filled future.
