• DO YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES? The imminent November mid-term elections will undoubtedly be the most consequential in the history of our democracy. The chance to return the House & the Senate is within our reach, but only if we can get enough people out to vote. The GUUF Social Justice Committee, in collaboration with the Center for Common Ground, will be writing postcards to registered voters in swing states urging them to get out and vote. Currently, we have a list of 500 names/addresses of voters in North Carolina, and we need more volunteers to help us.
If you are unhappy with what’s been going on in the country, here is a chance for you to make a difference. If you have 10 minutes after service next Sunday, please stop by our tables to fill out a few cards. Let’s work together to make a difference.

They have been placed on the banned book cart which is located on the left wall of the Narthex just past the doors. Please stop by to peruse the selection to see what you may find.
