Our RE Team (formerly LFD) has been working with Kyndal to facilitate care/curriculum package drop-offs. They are also working through the proposal from Rev. A.J. to move from LFD to RE.
The Stewardship Team updated the Board on pledges received and offered a service and information meeting on legacy giving. Members can learn more about legacy giving to DUUF or other UU organizations at uualegacy.org.
The Worship Team will create 4 Sunday services and 2 Christmas Eve services in December. Denton CUUPS will offer our Winter Solstice service on December 20. On Christmas Eve, we will offer a family-style service at 4:30 pm and a candlelight service at 6:00 pm. The Worship Team asks that the congregation participate in these services in a variety of ways:
- Sing “Joy to the World”. Email [email protected] to sign up and learn more
- Offer a reading selected by our team (adults, teens, and children needed!). Email [email protected] to sign up.
- Request a holiday pack delivered to your door or volunteer to deliver packs here
- Share the names of loved ones who died in 2020 here

The Finance Committee crafted the budget proposal for presentation to the congregation. Danna is handling check deposits, which takes about two hours a week. This is why we would like for everyone to go to electronic payments, so not so much time will be spent on just check deposits!
