President’s Message — June 2024

As we close out this fiscal year, it is safe to say that this has been a successful year for UUFP. This success is due solely to the commitment and actions of our members and friends. Over the past few weeks, there are some efforts that need to be recognized.

First, the Membership Committee has worked overtime conducting numerous UU 101 and 102 classes to meet the need of individuals who have expressed interest in membership. Previously, UUFP held only one session of each class per year. I think Miranda Van Horn and Kay Price have held at least three. Thank you.

Second, the newly formed Children & Youth Religious Education (CYRE) Committee, led by Valery Murdock, worked with our RE teachers to create a UUFP Parent-Teacher Covenant. This document helps to clearly outline expectations of teachers, parents, and children during Sunday services. With the increasing number of children attending on Sundays, it is important that there is a clear understanding of the commitment that UUFP has to the children and parents and vice versa. Thank you, CYRE Committee, for putting this important document together.

Lastly, I would like to thank Rev. Kim Wilson for her commitment to UUFP as a guest speaker over the past few years. Another ministerial opportunity presented itself which, unfortunately, means that she will no longer be available to conduct Sunday Services for UUFP. She has been an inspiring and calming presence to the UUFP community. While we will miss her, and we wish her well in her new endeavors. Thank you, Kim, for all that you have done for us.

I know that many more people demonstrated commitment to our fellowship over the past month. Please know that your actions are appreciated.

With Gratitude, Linda
