Thank you to Holly Rogers and Marty Newcomb for hosting a potluck dinner at UCF for a small group on Thanksgiving Day. In addition to sharing traditional and non-traditional dishes, and way too many desserts, we continue to share our stories with each other.
On Sunday, November 19th after the service, UCF celebrated the opening of a new roadside Food Pantry to help those with food insecurity in our community, especially at times when other food pantries are closed. The food pantry was the brainchild of our UCF friend, Daryl Walker. She applied for a $500 grant and was … Continue reading Roadside Food Pantry Opens at UCF

These will be forwarded to the UUA Transitions Office … Continue reading November Ministerial Search Committee Update
The Auction Committee has reluctantly decided to postpone the UCF Goods and Services Auction originally scheduled for November 10th. We didn’t feel that we had enough auction items to conduct a financially successful auction. We will reschedule the auction for some time after the first of the year. We will continue to accept auction items and services … Continue reading UCF Goods and Service Auction Postponed
The NC Seafood Festival is held in Morehead City the first weekend of October every year and it is a huge event. UCF joined the lottery to sell Pepsi at the festival — and our name was selected. We will receive a percentage of the profits but we have to man (or woman) the Pepsi … Continue reading UCF in the Pepsi Can!

In October, we’ll be doing more food-related service! We’ll be helping … Continue reading Children and Family Ministries News

This year we are trying a different way of collecting for local organizations. Instead of 5th Sundays, in July, we started “Share the Plate.” The Social Justice Committee selects a different organization each month, and during that month, any money in the collection plate that is not designated for pledges is equally divided between UCF … Continue reading August “Share the Plate” Goes to Carteret Long Term Recovery Alliance
