* Our next First Friday Potluck Supper will be on September 5. Please sign up to help by being part of the set-up or clean-up team. Everyone brings a dish of food to share, and their own plates & utensils for dining. We take our dishes home to wash, so we can enjoy a brief program after dinner. We have various ways to conserve our planet’s resources. Some people use up saved party/picnic ware, and others bring washables, rather than buy more disposable plates. All efforts are appreciated. Our Alliance offers a beverage concession, the proceeds of which support our UU goals.

If, here, you have found freedom,
take it with you into the world.
If you have found comfort,
go and share it with others.
If you have dreamed dreams,
. help one another, that they may come true!
If you have known love, give some back
to a bruised and hurting world.
Go in peace.

Rev. Lauralyn Bellamy - Founder UU Metro Atlanta North
