Dear Friends, While our in-building services are suspended, we are continuing services and Fellowship online. Our larger mission continues as well — we still support the community through our Share-the-Plate program. We continue to see supporting our Fellowship as part of our spiritual practice. And we can all do our part to keep our Fellowship going. We ask our Members and Friends to continue to make pledge payments and plate offerings by mailing a check to UUFSB, 380 Nicolls Road, E. Setauket, NY 11733; making your payments through a billpay service with your bank; or using the Paypal button below. Whatever method you use, please be sure to designate where you want your donation directed. For checks / bill pay, add the designation in the "Memo" line / "Add a Memo" field. Please consider using the "Make this a monthly donation" option. Thank you!

The topic is Reparations for people of Afrcian descent. Discussion leader Gil Hanson recommends that you read Ta-Nehisi Coates' article on The Case for Reparations.

Caregiver Support Group — First and Third Thursdays of the Month on Zoom, 1:00-2:30 p.m.

If you are, have been, or anticipate being a caregiver for a loved one, you might know what a hard job it can be. Maybe you don’t know what to expect. Maybe you think you finally have a handle on something and everything changes. It’s an ever- present learning curve and a host of different emotions. From whom and what do you draw support? What resources are available to you? How do you take care of yourself?

The group will be facilitated by the Rev Dr. Linda Anderson. If you are interested in being part of such a group, please contact Rev Linda at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. This month, we are meeting on Thursday, Nov. 5 and Nov. 19.

Indoor Labyrinth Walks - Thursdays at 1:30 p.m.

In the early fall months we held labyrinth walks on our outdoor labyrinth each Thursday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. Walks were limited to 10 people, pre-registration required. Everyone wore masks and social distancing was observed. We were so lucky to have Charles Holdener play the drum and American Indian Flute for us.

Now, wiith November here and colder weather soon to set in, we have moved our walks indoors, observing the same Covid protocols: masks, distancing, temperature scanning upon entering. We are limiting these walks to 10 people, pre-registered. If you are interested in reserving a spot in any or all of the November walks, please email Linda Mikell: This email address is being protected from spambots.
