WE HAVE A GIFT FOR YOU!!
We have a little something for you, a small gift you can use on Christmas Eve and beyond. We invite you to drive through our upper parking lot to pick yours up. Stop by on Sunday, December 20, after the service until noon. Your dropping by would have an added benefit to your minister, as she’d get to see your beautiful faces. If you’re unable to drive through, no worries, we’ll make every effort to get the gift to you.
Dear Friends, Keep those pictures coming! We appreciate them so much.
December 20: Solstice. Share with us pictures that show the winter solstice. Is it candles lit in the window to show the way home? Is it sunrise or sunset? Send your photos to:
suzangannett@ymail.com We look forward each week to the pictures that you share! Thank you. With love, Suzan Gannett and Reverend Linda Barnes

December Outreach: Your donation to the NH Food Bank will be a life-sustaining gift, with each dollar providing up to two nutritious meals. The need is critical: since the onset of Covid 19, it is estimated that nearly one quarter of NH’s children are living with food insecurity; in many homes there is uncertainty about where the next meal will come from. Donations may be made by using the "donate" button on the Starr King UU Fellowship homepage, or by mailing a check to Starr King UU Fellowship, PO Box 337, Plymouth 03264. As always, your generous support is very much appreciated!
Don't forget you can donate anytime online! There are many funds and giving opportunities to choose from. Any and all donations are gratefully appreciated.
