Faithful Footprints

It is amazing how our members, young and old, are living our UU Principles each and every day. These footprints (from big feet, little feet, hand prints or tire treads!) are making our world a better place for us and for the generations to come.

Here are some of the amazing gifts the members of our congregation have offered to the world:

“Prayers and Sharing”
“Appreciated Spring”
“Supporting Planned Parenthood…”
“Helping my parents light the chalice”
“Speak truth- listen-repeat”
“Recognizing the interdependence of all life”
“Help my sister clean her room”
“take care of my cat”

What "footprints" have you left behind? You can contribute your footprints during our service on Sunday mornings and take the time to "walk" our path to read more of these amazing gifts.

If you are interested in assisting with the continuation of this project, please contact Amy Peterson Derrick:

Calling All UUCF High School youth, parents, and teachers!

You are invited to a special gathering on Sunday, March 20th 12:30-2:30pm Re-connect with friends and engage with one another and our interim minister, Rev. Shelley Page, to re-imagine youth involvement and participation at UU Flint.

During this two hour event, we will take time to socialize and to participate in meaningful, reflective and fun activities as we work together to imagine exciting new ways to be together as a vibrant, multi-age church community.

The voices of all ages are valued and important; come and share your vision as we embark, together, on this new journey!

We are looking forward to seeing you there!

In faith,
Rev. Shelley and Amy Peterson Derrick

North End Soup Kitchen permission slips available

Next Sunday (June 21st) the junior high and senior high youth will have the opportunity to help serve food at the North End Soup Kitchen from 10am-2pm. During this trip they will also have the chance to learn more about the organization that we will be donating produce to through our Stone Soup Garden project.

The North End Soup Kitchen is funded by Catholic Charities and has been serving the hungry in Flint since 1940. They provide 3 meals a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year! They also provide a variety of other programs including sack lunches, a summer kids camp and a personal needs linen closet which supplies diapers, formula, clothing and toiletries to those who need them.

We still need a couple of adults who are interested in helping to transport our youth to and from the soup kitchen! If you are available and would like to accompany our youth, please contact Amy Derrick.

Each youth will need to have a signed permission slip in order to attend. The permission slip is available by clicking on the link at the side of this page. Extra forms will also be available on the day of the field trip.
