What to Expect at Fellowship Service
So what is a Unitarian Universalist service like?
While there is some variety to our services, many will find them strikingly similar to services at most any mainstream church. Click here to read a description of what fellowship services are like in most UU Churches. You will find this a good general description of our services.
We might add that our youth have an opportunity to attend Religious Education
during our services and that visiting youth are always welcome to attend RE , stay in the main service with their parents or have a parent attend their parents attend RE with them. Whatever works best for your family.
Also, if you are in the area visiting and didn’t bring any “church clothes” on vacation please don’t let that stop you from joining us. Up here in the northwoods we are pretty casual and it’s not unusual to see folks show up in their hiking clothes when the weather is warm or in their ski clothes when snow is on the ground.

Event Details
The annual meeting will be held in-person directly following the worship service. The meeting is an opportunity to review the achievements and concerns of this year, elect new board members, set achievable priorities for next year, and approve the 2024-2025 budget.
Achievements during the 2023-2024 service year offer much to celebrate! The continued growth of the Religious Education (RE) program is so evident each time we sing the children to their classes. The
UU Women’s group held its second annual retreat. The Soul Matters group continually experiences full enrollment. And there are many more rewarding and vibrant activities offered to, and by, the congregation.The fellowship needs all of us to participate in the democratic process of governance. Our bylaws require 20% of the membership to be present for a quorum. In previous annual meetings, we have just barely that. Members will receive a packet of committee reports, board nominations, and the draft 2024-2025 budget. Everyone is encouraged to take the time to read the documents, leave comments, ask questions, and make suggestions. Feedback is welcome on our Facebook page, at annualmeeting2024@chequamegonuuf.org

“There is an endless net of threads throughout the universe
At every crossing of the threads there is an individual.
And every individual is a crystal bead.
And every crystal bead reflects
Not only the light from every other crystal in the net
But also every other reflection
Throughout the entire universe.”
—Words from Anne Adams, Indra’s Net of Jewels
Indra’s net is a Buddhist symbol of mutuality, a guiding concept on living interdependently. Take a moment and think about what you’ve used today. Who are you in community with? As we celebrate all who have joined CUUF over the past year, let us take time to wonder about our independence and interdependence.
The fellowship’s annual meeting will be held in-person directly following the worship service. The meeting is an opportunity to review the achievements and concerns of this year, elect new board members, set achievable priorities for next year and approve the 2024-2025 budget.

Meaning and Connections from Flowers
Flowers are the most common decorative design used in every human culture. Through the ages, assigned meanings of flowers carried messages to the viewer. Today we use their beauty to give meaning to annual holidays and events like our Flower Service. Gayle will explore a bit of history, names and traditions that connect us from our garden to history and our world.Gayle Chatfield moved to the Bayfield area full time in 2010 to live where she could see the stars at night and live more closely with nature’s rhythms. Creating has been at the core of her life as a small business person in garden design, property management and architectural design and renovation. She had a lodging business in Bayfield and is a Master Gardener and former garden columnist. She creates 3-D art assemblage of various materials including birch bark. Photography of her garden on social media is also where she shares the joys of learning about plants.
