Look in your closet, find the most brilliant, dazzling, piece of clothing you own, fluff it out and get ready to wear it to the most colorful event of the year—the 2008 Serendipity Auction! The year's auction, Coloring Outside the Lines, will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2008, starting at 6:00 PM. Pre-auction booklets will be distributed on Sunday, April 6th.
The auction is a major fundraiser for our Fellowship, helping to offset expenses not covered through pledges. We look forward to everyone supporting the auction with contributions of services and items, as well as generous bidding the night of the event. (Contract forms are available here.)
With all of the wonderful social opportunities listed, bidding at the auction can assure that your lives remain bursting with excitement and color. This is an evening of unrestricted creativity, enabling our Fellowship to remain a vibrant splash of color in Harford County—crayons provided!
For more information, please contact Rob Lieb (roblieb@comcast.net)The Women's Ritual Circle will lead a Spring Equinox ritual on Sunday, March 16, 2:30 pm. This is open to all, including children. We will celebrate the first day of Spring and new beginnings. We will meet at the Fellowship at 2:15 and carpool to the UUFHC cabin. If weather prohibits, we will have the ritual at the church.
For more information, please contact Becca Motil (410-939-9522 or rmotil@aol.com)We will explore religions throughout the world, tracking the theme chronologically, starting with "oldest" of our series (Hinduism) and ending with the "newest" (Bahai). Each session stands on its own—we'd love to see you each time, but it is not a requirement.
Here is the tentative schedule (the path of the discussions may alter the schedule—group participation is a primary asset to the course):
On the second Sunday of each month, September thru June, the Fellowship hosts a Potluck Luncheon. Members, guests and visitors are encouraged to attend and bring with them a homemade dish to share that will serve five or six people. The contribution can be anything from a warm casserole to a chilled salad; breads and desserts are also welcome.
Contact: Hospitality CommitteeEvery third Sunday of each month after service, a UU Orientation is held in the Fellowship library. The discussion is geared to new members and to those who would like to find out more about UUFHC and the Unitarian Universalist religion. The orientation covers the Unitarian and Universalist history as well as the history of UUFHC. The orientation is very informal and usually lasts about an hour.
Contact Membership Committee (membership@uufhc.net)The "Faithful Flock of Friendly Folders" meet at 9:30 AM in the church library on the second Thursday after the Newsletter deadline, which is the second Sunday of the month.
Please join us for an hour and a half to two hours if you can. The more hands, the less time! Meet the members who are "in" on the news, "hot" off the copier!
Contact JoAnn Macdonald (410-838-5229 or JoAnnMacd@comcast.net)Starting on September 4, yoga will be offered in the UUFHC sanctuary on both Tuesdays and Thursdays. This is a challenging yet relaxing class for beginners and intermediates. Drop-ins are welcome.
Yoga is a physical discipline that increases strength and flexibility, and improves your health. But yoga is also a mental and spiritual discipline. Whatever form of yoga you practice, the goal is "oneness" — bringing your mind, body, emotions, and spirit into alignment, to bring out the joy at the core of your being.
Becca Motil is an instructor with several years teaching experience and is certified in the YogaFit style.
