Upcoming Events of
Interest
Search for the Future
Weekend November 8
Who: All First UU Congregants
When: Saturday November 8 from 9:AM to Noon, With a Free Lunch afterwards
Where: At the Church
What: Brainstorm with other
congregants about where we want to go in the future and how to get there
How: Volunteers will facilitate
group discussions with a strict time line
Why: We can work together to see
how we can improve and what we need to do for the next five years
Please set aside the date of Saturday November 8,
The workshop will develop lists of ideas about the church mission, our vision,
and goals for the next five years.
Then the facilitators will work on a formal mission and vision statement
for the church. If the statements
are accepted by the board then the church will vote on them as well.
Once the
statements are approved by the congregation, the Dream Team will use the
statements and the goals suggested in the Search for the Future workshop to
begin their work on developing a strategic plan for the church. That five year plan will be finished in
time for our canvass dinner and finance drive in the spring.
So the Search for the Future event is a crucial step in this year-long journey
toward a new direction for our church.
We want a big turnout with many ideas. So we certainly want all of you to
attend and enjoy the work and fun of being part of this exciting time.
Oh, and to add to that fun part, we will provide a lunch at the church
immediately following the workshop.
That will be a great time for us all to see each other and enjoy the
very reasons why First UU Church is so important to our lives here in
Lubbock. Hope to see you there!

KOHM Fundraiser
We funnel the money through UUCL, so that all of it is
attributed to UUCL, rather than the individual donors (i.e., no checks directly
to KOHM, but to UU instead).
However, each donor is recognized as a KOHM member. Of course, pledge gifts are not obtained
at these rates, so that the money has the maximum possible value to both KOHM
and UUCL.
There is also
a Spring pledge drive, to which we contributed $1,505.00, beginning
