Welcome to the Amarillo
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship! |
|
Try the 10 AM service! The content and format are the same as at 11, so you won't miss anything. You can even see your old friends between the two services. Childcare is provided only during the 11 AM service. At least one of the events described in this newsletter may be of interest to you, so give it a try. For a complete listing of events at the Fellowship, click on the Calendar icon. Want more detail? Check both the News and the Events sections of our website ( uuamarillo.org). Also on our website, uuamarillo.org, you will find more information about Unitarian Universalism, our Fellowship, the calendar, and an ever-changing blog of news articles and items for thought which we believe are of interest to the liberal religious community. All events are held at the Fellowship, 4901 Cornell St., unless otherwise noted. If you are unsure how to reach any of the individuals named as contacts, please email the AUUF office or call 806.355.9351 and leave a message.

During the Worship Services on March 23, Connie Garcia, director of Martha's Home, delivered a timely reminder of the ways in which our Fellowship contributes to those in our community who are in need - and of the ongoing need for our contributions.
Bring items for at least one of the
agencies we support every time
you come to the Fellowship. Together, we can make a real difference.
As part of our Social Action initiatives, we participate in 3 programs serving specific populations in and around Amarillo. Here is a list of those organizations, a link to learn more about the services each provides, and the items that AUUF gathers to donate to their clients.
Women's and children's toiletries (particular need - women's hygiene products)
Men's toiletries (regular & travel sizes)
in 7 or 7.5-oz cans (yes, size matters)
(Examples: Vienna sausage, stew, chili, ravioli, spaghetti, lasagna)Contact one of these agencies to learn about other ways in which you can help them.
