Hello Fellow UUFRC Congregants!
Please sign up to volunteer for Brian’s Installation; the final step in installing our new (if not for COVID) settled Minister.
The Installation is a recognized milestone in the life of our congregation and in the tradition of our denomination. The ceremony builds and affirms this beloved community and our shared UU Identity, engaging the entire community, and supporting connections with the wider UU, Interfaith, and secular community.
The reception is a celebration where we eat, drink and be merry!
