President’s Message, July 2025

Dear Friends,
It is with great humility and gratitude that I write to you in my first presidential message. I am honored to have the opportunity to serve this wonderful community, which I have valued deeply over the past four years.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Linda Kozitzky, Miranda Van Horn, and Kris Barnthouse for their dedicated service as board members over the years. Their leadership has guided UUFP through challenging times, ensuring stability and growth, including welcoming new
members. As the torch is passed, we are fortunate to have a talented group of individuals ready to serve. We hope to uphold their legacy and make you proud.
During our congregational meeting in June, many members expressed a desire for increased communication regarding committees, finances, and board activities. Although the new board will meet officially for the first time in August, we have already begun discussions on how to enhance transparency. We believe a strong community thrives on open dialogue, and we welcome your suggestions and feedback.
I also encourage everyone to consider joining one of our committees, where you can directly contribute to the ongoing work of the fellowship. The worship committee is particularly interested in expanding its team to assist with planning Sunday services. Additionally, we are seeking members to serve as lay leaders during services, especially for outside speakers.
Summer is typically a time when activities at the fellowship slow down. I wish you all an enjoyable and safe summer as you spend quality time with friends and family.
Stay Sunny! Monica
