September 20 — The Covenant We Are Already In

Our covenant is something we inherited, and this Sunday we will choose it yet again. Over almost the past two centuries, our tradition traded creedal questions for covenantal ones: replacing "what do we believe in common?" with "what do we hope for, and how shall we try to treat each other?" On this first Sunday back together in one room, for our annual Ingathering celebration, we will ask these questions aloud, as a congregation, and close by remaking the promises of our community in the manner of our Living Tradition. 

(Rev. Beckett Coppola Speaking)

A Renovation Update from your Building Committee

We are sure that everyone is curious about the progress of the KUF building renovation. Anyone who has performed a renovation will likely be familiar with obstacles such as delays in obtaining permits and discovering unforeseen issues which need to be addressed. Our project has encountered both, but we are pleased to report that things are moving forward.


The footings for the new additions are complete, and the contractor expects foundation walls to be poured this week. Once these are in place, the new exterior walls can be constructed. Work has been progressing on the bathrooms, kitchen, framing the stage and other interior projects. The new plumbing has been installed and will be pressure-tested this week. The engineers have determined that the water line into the building must be enlarged, and the contractors are arranging for this to be done. Gardening is on temporary hold while the west roof and the water line are undergoing repair.


(Please note this means that the work bee after service this Sunday will have to be postponed until these repairs are completed)
