Fellowship Life

Book Club Returns September 8th!
Monday, September 8th; 6:30-8:15pm; FH West

The 2nd Monday Book Club will discuss a Classic novel on September 8th at 6:30pm in Founders Hall West. Come and add to our conversation!

The Razor’s Edge (1944) by W. Somerset Maugham follows a wounded and traumatized World War I veteran (Larry Darrell) who distances himself from his previous conventional life. His wanderings lead him through France, Germany, and India. The author puts himself in conversation with the protagonist(!), and later asks if each character got what they wanted out of life.Questions can be sent to bookclub@uufsd.org, or you can call or text Cathy Leach-Phillips at (650) 224-1974.

Auction Donation Ideas!!
October 12; 11am-2pm; Core Area

Due to proposed construction on UUFSD parking areas, this year’s auction will be held in two parts: online in October and live on May 16,2026. Preparations are beginning for the online event. We need you to think about donations. We’d like you to offer dinners, services, special talents and events. If you donate a dinner, activity or event, please put the date of the offering in your description to avoid the hassle of scheduling it later. Click here for a bunch of ideas. You can fill out a donation form at the auction table on the patio after Sunday services. Donation forms are needed by October 1 with online bidding beginning on Friday, October 3 and ending on Sunday October 12. We plan to have the last day of bidding in person either at the fellowship or, if that’s not possible, at another location. Mark your calendar and put your thinking cap on. Let’s create an abundance of activities that will show off our talents and bring us together in fellowship!
