There is something profound and awe-inspiring at the
cross-roads between the familiar and foundational. Often our
literal, physical, and metaphorical ancestors and forebears
can be found there. How do the people, beings, and things that
have gone before us inspire us with a sense of awe?

experience of awe impact us? Does awe have the power to change
us?

light!

1. Beginning January 2020, 3rd Sunday each month, a Generosity Moment. A member will share what they appreciate/why they come to the UUFA. Similar to this year but requesting written copy (about 150 words) in advance to control length.
2. 1st Sunday each month, a representative of the offering recipient organization will speak briefly about the work of the group. This may be a UUFA member who works with the organization when that is appropriate.
3. Beginning late spring, a member testimonial 2nd, 3rd, 4th Sundays leading up to and through our pledge drive. The 1st Sunday continues to be a representative of the offering recipient organization.
4. Sam will continue to coordinate these speakers and to provide guidance on length and focus and transitions. We hope to include children and youth periodically as well as some of our newer members.
