Fred's Flavorings- November. As I write this at the end of October, the weather has become a bit cooler here, if only for a day or two, signaling the arrival finally of fall in Florida. The end of October is also the celebration of my father’s birthday, two days after mine. He died suddenly 34 years ago at the beginning of the month.

Craft Fair to Benefit Turning Points

Craft Fair to Benefit Turning Points

MUUF and the UU’s of Lakewood Ranch are getting together to hold a joint fundraiser on Saturday, November 16, 2019, at the Farmers Market in downtown Bradenton. We will be selling arts and crafts made or donated by their members and all of the proceeds will benefit Turning Points in Bradenton. The sale of the items will be held from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm at Mainly Art located on 4th Avenue West as part of the Farmers Market on Main Street. Live music and food are also available. Turning Points is the one stop shop for preventing and ending homelessness in our community. It provides day resource services (such as hot showers, laundry services, clothing, and food), employment services, rental and utility assistance, veteran’s services (employment, housing and childcare), and free medical and dental care for the uninsured and underinsured.
We are looking for arts and crafts. If you would like to donate, please contact Carol Alt.

Welcome Guests & Friends

Welcome Guests & Friends

Love is the doctrine of our congregation, the quest for truth is our tradition, and service is our prayer. We welcome you.
Our Fellowship serves as a beacon to encourage and support all in their search for personal meaning. We will not tell you what to believe; we will encourage your questions, thoughtful dialogue, and self-improvement.
We include people of all ages, physical abilities, financial circumstances, sexual orientations, national origins, races, educational backgrounds and spiritual understandings.
We work for justice through love and compassion by sponsoring an interfaith advocacy group, Standing on The Side of Love. We seek to harness the power of logic and love to end oppression. Join us in our efforts. We come together for Sunday services as one congregation. Come, see how Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Humanists, Muslims, Scientists, Mystics, Pagans, Atheists and others find common ground in our Unitarian Universalist Community.
