Jan Partin, President of the UUFH Board of Directors, shares updates and reflections with the community. She acknowledges the aftermath of the election, urging everyone to take a moment to breathe before we discuss how to move forward.
She highlights several recent improvements and projects at the church:
- The Family Ministries classrooms have new flooring, thanks to Sunday Parker and a volunteer team.
- Mold was found under the coffee-serving cabinets, and a restoration project is underway, led by Noble Smith, Lee Nichols, and Charlie Mitchel.
- Rev. George secured $10,000 in disaster relief funds to help families in need.
- Jan also mentions a successful Mountain Retreat, thanks to Becky Reid and Rev. George, and encourages everyone to mark their calendars for next year's event. The Octoberfest Auction raised over $10,000, and Ed received special praise for his leadership in organizing it.
Finally, she discusses a forum on church signage, noting that the group will take time to decide how to present themselves moving forward.
