Reminders for the Auction Party

  • Bring a dish to share for the potluck
  • *NEW* We have put together some great raffle baskets to add to the in-person event! Bring cash if you want to buy tickets for the 50/50 or the basket raffles. Prices for both raffles are $1/ticket, 6/$5, or an arms length for $20.
  • Liz Long, who works in the nursery on Sundays, will be providing childcare in the library during the auction. If your kids are hungry, we encourage you to stop in Deale Hall with them first and fill up a plate to bring into the library! 
If you are unable to attend in person, you can still participate in the online auction now through Saturday at 6pm on the website: Falling For UU Auction Catalog 
We hope to see many of you on Saturday!


Service Reflection Group

Sunday, November 16th
Library-After Service

Stay after worship for a brief conversation about the service and what inspired you, what raised questions, and what you’re taking with you.


Adopt-an-Angel
Bring holiday joy to a local child in Foster Care!
Sunday, November 16

We are partnering with a local agency to provide gifts for a child. This Sunday, pick up an Angel Tag from Kim and return the gift by Sunday, November 30th. 

Let’s share the spirit of the season, one gift at a time!


MELD Donation Collection 

We will be holding our annual holiday collection to support Rockford MELD again this year.  You are invited to choose an ornament from the tree with an item requested by a family listed on the back of it.  You may choose more than one ornament.  Once you have purchased the items listed on the ornament, place them in the bin in the narthex designated for MELD donations.  Please do not wrap the items that you donate. Contact Lindsay with any questions reuurockford@gmail.com.

 Donations will be collected through Sunday, December 14.
