Dear LFUU Members and Friends,
November’s theme is Nurturing Gratitude. So much to be grateful for!
I’m grateful for YOU! For being part of this Fellowship! For coming to programs, celebrations, and meetings. For sharing your passions, skills, and resources. For making this place possible.
Celebrate 25 years of MUUSJA! We’ll celebrate our history and build capacity for the future. The moment we are facing, with its mass of intersecting crises, harm, and uncertainty, requires us to organize, collaborate, be nimble, brave, and responsive.
The first four sessions for our Tuesday meditation group were well-attended and meaningful. Only one more session remains, and newcomers are welcome! We’ll continue exploring simple meditation practices in a calm, supportive space. If you’ve already signed up, there’s no need to register again. If you’d like to join us on Tuesday (Nov. 18), please register so we know how many to expect.
Greetings, members and friends!
This is just a reminder that this Sunday, November 2nd, marks the end of Daylight Saving Time. This means that we'll "fall back," gain an hour, and will need to set clocks back one hour if they don't change automatically.
Hope to see you in person or on Zoom this Sunday!
Dear LFUU Members and Friends,
Our program theme for October is Cultivating Compassion. How do we as a congregation cultivate compassion amongst ourselves? How do we become what we want to see in the world? To be the light?
A new 5-week meditation group will meet Tuesday evenings at Lake Fellowship beginning October 21 (6:30–8:00 p.m.). Each week offers a quiet space to pause, reconnect, and explore a different meditation technique through guided practice, silence, and gentle reflection. Led by Matthew Tift, a Kripalu Yoga teacher with training in mindfulness and meditation, the group welcomes everyone. No experience or beliefs required. The group is free, but please register ahead of time so we know how many to expect.
On Saturday, October 18, people all across the country will gather for No Kings, a day of action to lift up democracy, justice, and worker power. Instead of bowing to authoritarianism, we will come together to tell a different story of America, rooted in freedom and dignity for all.
We will meet at the A-frame at 11:30 a.m. to carpool to the Chaska event that starts at 12:30 p.m. If you would like to attend, please email Laurie Gauer (gauer_mn@yahoo.com).
On Saturday, November 15, Lake Fellowship will host a discussion of Authentic Selves: Celebrating Trans and Nonbinary People and Their Families, last year’s UU Common Read. We will gather from 10:00 to 11:30 am to share reflections, questions, and conversation.
Hi Lake Fellowship members and friends, this Sunday, Oct. 5th, is theSoup Sunday, Yahoo!
You remember how this works, you get something taste (soup or yummy snacks) to eat and you donate $$ to the charity chosen by your “soup” makers.
Also, please sign up to provide “soup” for a future Sunday. You’ll find a signup sheet on the bulletin board (thanks for putting that up, Terry).
It’s time to collect your non perishables and bring them to LF this Sunday, Oct. 5th for Lake Fellowship’s Neighborhood Food Project! You all know how this works, you get some groceries/personal items and bring them to LF (or have a friend deliver them, like the McGlynn’s are bringing our bag) on the first Sunday of the month (Sept- May), Curtis and Patsy will deliver the items to WeCAN’s food shelf and mobile mark on Monday. We have a few “Green/orange Bags” at the A-frame, so feel free to bring your donations and fill up a bag.
