"Where everyone is welcome!"

Are you seeking a place of belonging where you can be free from judgment because of your beliefs or whom you love? Do you need the freedom to grow on your own spiritual and intellectual journey? Try the Amarillo Unitarian Universalist Fellowship - it might very well be the place for you.

 

Join us this Sunday at 4901 Cornell St. for either the 9:30 or 11 AM service - the content and format are the same. Childcare and school-age Children's Religious Education are provided during the 11 AM service only.

A variety of events happen every week, and we hope that you will find one or more that are of interest to you. Come to learn, to enjoy each other, and to work together.

The AUUF Beloved Community

All four Saturdays
in October
(Oct. 4, 11, 18, & 25)
9:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Most of the work of our Fellowship is done by volunteer members and friends - our congregation is not yet large enough to hire staff to do all of it!

• Some of that work is pure fun
• Some of it is heavy labor
• All of it is shared with others of our congregation and brings us closer to each other and to our shared values (and contributes to the happiness
  of all of us, says the research!)

The workshops are part of the Tapestry of Faith curriculum from the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA); specifically, they are from a leadership development program called Harvest the Power. This is the first year of a series which we plan to complete in three years. Together, they provide a chance for us to know ourselves, each other, and the UU religious tradition better.

This year's schedule:

• Workshop 1
  - October 4
  Leadership Journey
• Workshop 2 - October 11
  Unitarian Universalist Journey
• Workshop 3
  - October 18
  Power and AuthorityWorkshop 4 - October 25
  Turning Points and Moments of Grace

Workshops will be facilitated by a number of different talented, skilled and charming members of our congregation and our leadership development committee, along with our minister for two of the workshops.

Whether you can come to all or only one, your presence is needed, wanted, and appreciated!  We will enjoy these because we enjoy each other and our shared faith.  Snacks will be provided during each 2-hour workshop. 

Join us for this adventure - you will love it!

September is Hunger Awareness Month?

In support of our Fellowship's involvement in the Interfaith Coalition for Hunger (part of the Amarillo Coalition for Homelessness), AUUF will host our very own annual Beans & Cornbread Supper! There are two purposes for this supper: (1) To remind us that, for some, beans & cornbread provide needed sustenance; (2) To raise money for the Amarillo Coalition for Homelessness through the annual citywide luncheon.   

Start planning your pot of beans, chili, or stew - or pan of cornbread - now. As you may surmise, it will be a potluck. Check the "Events" pages for more details. The supper is part of our Social Action work, putting into practice the first two of the 7 Principles of Unitarian Universalism, which we affirm and promote:

1. The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
2. Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations

All proceeds will be contributed toward funds raised to feed the homeless at the citywide Beans & Cornbread Luncheon , which will be held at the Civic Center on October 20.
