I'm glad to welcome some new members to our UU chat group, which will be two years old in about a month. We've had some interesting exchanges, and we've been...
A quiet, but engating discussion has been going on the past few days involving some Worship Committee members and others about the worship schedule for the...
I would rather not change times. In the past everytime we do I end up showing up at 10 anyway Love is the spirit of this church and service is our law. To...
I think it was that way so people had a longer day to enjoy or to go places. It has been that way forever! Nan In a message dated 4/22/2009 2:22:37 P.M....

I would just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day and to thank the Veterans for all that they have and had to sacrifice in order...
Thanks, jessica, for your Memorial Day wishes. I did attend the UUFW Memorial Day Sunday service and I was honored when John Moore handed me the microphone...
This is what I send to the worship committee today: The joys and concerns in its current form (in my opinion) is one of the highlights of our worship service....
I whole-heartedly agree. It was one of the unique things about our church that has endered me too everyone their. I too have been a part of church services...
I agree with you. I'm one of those who've heard concerns about this matter, and I've relayed them to the committee myself. I've always felt that the joys and...
Hello all. I sent a note to the Worship Committee suggesting they join in on the discussion. Thanks for everyone's thoughts. Peacefully, Kirsten Our website:...
Thanks John for sharing this information. Since I have not been coming to UUCFW for very long I was unaware that there are issues with this particular format....
Although it's been awhile since Scott and I have been able to make it to church, I've always liked the way Joys & Concerns were shared. I know that, when I've...
Hi, folks. This is Dick Schwartz. I'm a member of the Worship Committee. This is the kind of discussion and comment we were hoping to see, that is, involved,...
Well Dick I can tell you as for me I don't like the idea of changing the format. As the saying goes "If it ain't broke don't try to fix it." Now I know that I...
I can not remember a time when the service has run long as a result of too much time being spent on joys and concerns. Lighting your own candle and speaking...
We should find a diligent cautious way to limit what is being perceived as "all-too frequent" abuse. I also think that we would have a hard time defining what...
Dick, Thanks for your response. I would like to respond to some of concerns that the committee has received. "political speeches," - as I wrote in my response...
Kees, You raise some fine points, and I largely agree. My view all along has been that we need a "soft" approach, focusing on consciousness raising. I...
I agree John. This subject has awakened the group. Â Don Betz Trustee Love is the spirit of this church and service is our law. To dwell together in peace, To...
I am putting my vote in to leave joys and concern pretty much the way they have been. I love to have the 5 year old come up and tell us it is their birthday....
I appreciate this congregation as a community. I didn't choose the members any more than I chose my family (though some would say I chose them both). It's a...
Hi, I don't attend regularly as I am often teaching on the weekends but I have to say I agree with Pamela. When I do attend I find the Joys and Concerns an...
Cheers to the Worship Committee for their effort to experiment with something new for the Sunday services. I expect, however, that any change will not come...
