The latest on our Founders Day 20th Anniversary celebration……
So far: A dinner will be held on Saturday October 12 at 5:00 pm to get the weekend started. There will be a display of historical items to view both days. Then on Sunday, Rev Nan will share the pulpit with Rev Lori to commemorate this great event.
For those of you who like word games, then we have a treat for you during social hour on Sunday. A special word search has been compiled for this wonderful occasion! We hope you will have fun with this little project.
More to come, stay tuned.

Financial Advisory Committee (FAC)
What we do and who we are
FAC was established to assist the Board in carrying out its financial responsibilities to UUFB. Our initial meeting was this past January and we have met several times since. FAC’s responsibilities are spelled out in its mission statement and minutes are recorded for each meeting. These documents can be accessed on the members section of the UUFB website. FAC members include Frank Cummings, Grace Drake, Jean Griffith, Dave Hudson, Usman Ismail, Tim Joy, Jim Miller. Rev. Lori Hlaban attends all meetings. Although the professional background of this group is diverse, all are strongly motivated for the success of UUFB.
What we are working on
At the congregational meeting in December last year, the fellowship approved the budget for 2019 which contained a deficit. Contributing to this was a decrease in pledge units and dollars but with little wiggle room in expenses if the fellowship desires to maintain our social justice programs and activities.
46 out of 71 house-holds currently pledge. Consequently, increasing the number of pledge units/dollars has been identified as the best opportunity to obtain a balanced budget. Grace Drake and Dave Hudson have experience in this area and are leading the effort.
At the Board’s request, FAC has taken the lead in this summer’s Special Appeal to obtain funds for replacing the roof and air/heating units in the fellowship hall. The roof replacement is imperative as our insurance on this has been lowered until the roof is replaced. Bids have been received from two roofing contractors and work should start shortly. We have enough money in the capital account to expedite the roof work. As additional money is received, work can start on the heating and air- conditioners. These units are old, inefficient and have needed to be replaced for some time.
This Special Appeal will henceforth be identified as “Raising the roof and keeping our cool.” We hope to collect $25,000 by August 31, 2019. Additional information will be communicated to members and friends via e-mail, uubeaufort.org, and Beloved Community. Donations can be made by check and on-line to the attention of Jim Miller, Treasurer
Your Board, Rev. Lori and members of the Financial Advisory Committee have given financial commitments or donated. We hope you will too.
Jean Griffith
Chair, Financial Advisory Committee
Habitat for Humanity Faith Build Project Update
UUFB is partnered with other Beaufort area faith groups on the LowCountry Habitat for Humanity’s Faith Build House, located at 2523 Mossy Oaks Road. The framing, roofing and windows are now all in place, so the next volunteer work will be at ground-level – siding and internal. The nature of the work will continue change as the build progresses.
Our assigned workdays rotate from Tuesday through Saturday once per week. Each 4-hour morning workday (before the afternoon heat), up to five UUFB volunteers will work together with volunteers from a rotating partner faith group. Working together will be a great opportunity to act on our values, to build relationship among our own members and friends, and a no-proselytizing interfaith experience. At this time, our assigned workdays run through August 8; more will be added later.
Those who are interested, and have not yet completed a 1-hour orientation program may attend the next session on Saturday July 13 at 10am, at the Habitat office (616 Parris Island Gateway). Please call Lee McSavaney 843-522-3500 at the Habitat office to attend - and let Tom Hlaban know.
Those who have completed orientation, can sign up directly for the 4-hour workday slots of their choice on
our Sign Up Genius page. Some have already been filled - but many good openings remain. Please sign up at least two weeks in advance of your preferred workdays. Specific details about each workday can be found there. If you have trouble accessing the page, contact Tom Hlaban and he can record your sign-up.
