Some upcoming activities are: \u201cSoul Matters\u201d Circles<\/strong> will form in the fall\u2014intimate neighborhood groups that meet and discuss topics related to our faith. As in many UU congregations across the country, each group will meet monthly in homes to share ideas about the topic of the month…in SUUF language\u2026Friendly Feasts for the Soul. It\u2019s a beautiful way of deepening relationships and spiritual growth. Might you wish to host a small monthly circle in your home?<\/p>\n Book Group<\/strong>: Rev.

Elizabeth Herrell will chair the planning of this party and auction. Past SUUF auctions were festive occasions with great food and wine, and wonderful items and activities on which to bid. Exciting items were created by SUUFers like dinners in homes, hikes, parties, cooking lessons, baskets of goodies, vacation rentals\u2026the list of offerings from past auctions is impressive and this year\u2019s auction is waiting for your ideas!<\/p>\n 2nd Annual Talent Show<\/strong>: On a Sunday in April, SUUF Talent Show will be back by popular demand!
