This Sunday, July 13:Service at 10:30 am:
Jane moved to Brevard County over 50 years ago from Maine. Her motivation to go native started when she realized her youngest son would be leaving for college and she would have to learn how to use a lawnmower to mow a lawn that didn’t look very good to begin with. Jane joined the Conradina Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society over 10 years ago and has been on the Board for the past 10 years. She is also on the Landscaping with Florida Natives Tour Committee.
The grass and the lawnmower are now both gone and she enjoys going outside to see what’s blooming and all the wildlife, recently including a barred owl. Jane is a huge fan of Dr. Tallamy (on whose work this presentation is based) and enjoys sharing his message with others! Children's Religious Education at 10:30 am: 
The children begin their Sunday in Friendship Hall with their families and after the opening hymn and chalice lighting they are sung off to the Sunday school room for their lesson and accompanying activities, provided by teacher Deborah Oganessian.
The Youth RE committee is responsible for providing a teacher and an assistant for the children's RE and overseeing their work as well as maintaining the rooms where the children's activities take place to make sure they are attractive and welcoming as well as safe for children of all ages. For our curriculum, we use the Tapestry of Faith units available for downloading from the UUA website. Another important job of the committee is to publicize the children's program and attract more young families to Friendship Fellowship. We welcome new members of our congregation to enroll your child in our program and consider joining the RE Committee. Finally, our children's room has recently been refreshed and updated with new paint and flooring! Watch this space for an update on an open house to see what we've done! For more information on our program, please contact Nicole Hooper at [email protected]. Read more about our Youth Religious Education program... Coffee and Conversations at 11:30 am:

What Is Unitarian Universalism?If you'd like to get a better idea of what Unitarian Universalism is and whether our way of responsibly searching for truth and meaning might be for you, this welcome written by our Minister Emeritus, Rev. Dr. John M. Higgins, gives a quick preview:
"Welcome to this place. This is a place where no revealed truths are promoted and no scripture or human being accepted as infallible. It is a place for searching for truth, but we are believers. We believe in intellectual freedom, we believe in justice, we believe in compassion, and for concern for each other and for the whole world. We believe in commitment to those ideals which make us active in the struggle for human dignity. We are Unitarian Universalists." Who is Unitarian Universalist Friendship Fellowship? Born of the liberal Unitarian Universalist tradition and dedicated to the principles of a free faith, Friendship: We welcome all who long for a free and open atmosphere in which to search for their own faith, expand their spiritual horizons, or find new ways to interact with the world in which they live. We welcome diversity of belief and lifestyle because everyone deserves the stimulation of an intellectually active, emotionally supportive and socially conscious community. - The inherent worth and dignity of every living person - Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations - Acceptance of one another and encouragement in spiritual grown in our congregations - A free and responsible search for truth and reasoning - The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process - The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all - Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. This congregation affirms and promotes the full participation of persons in all our activities and endeavors, including membership, programming, hiring practices, and the calling of religious professionals without regard to race, color, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, age or national origin. |
