Ingathering Welcome Brunch
Let’s celebrate together! Right after our Ingathering Service on September 13, pull up a chair at the Hospitality Committee’s festive welcome breakfast. We are pulling out all the stops with a spectacular brunch buffet! Dig into warm egg casseroles, fluffy pancakes, fresh crepes, sweet donut holes, and a fun build-your-own yogurt station. Bring your appetite. Everyone is welcome to our Ingathering Welcome Brunch.
Crafternoons at Buxmont
With the world unraveling, we need to stitch ourselves together in community, now more than ever. Let’s come to BuxMont UU for some crafting time together.
Let’s find some time for crafting and conversation. Consider it a mental health day. We can meet and work on our craft projects or just come and hang out. We can stitch, cut, mend, sketch, share stories and concerns, and maybe even patterns and craft supplies.
The Social Hall and the Fireside/Library are reserved from 11 am-3 pm for three autumn Saturday Crafternoons: September 19, October 10, November 28, and December 12.
Bring your own lunch or snack and drink. If you want to bring some food to share, that’s ok too, but not required or expected.
Kids are welcome, and parents are responsible. If the littles want to bring their books or toys or crafts, yaaaayyyy. The Fireside Library is a good kid space adjacent to social hall where we can be assured they’re safe. If you’d rather have a day without childcare responsibility, it’s fine to not bring them. Totally your call. No expectations, and not many rules!
The one rule is that we are each responsible to clean up our space and stuff. We want to leave BuxMont as clean and neat as we find it, all ready for Sunday morning service.
This is going to be easy and relaxing. Fun. Fun is good! Any questions, please contact Donna Laing at donnalaing@aol.com.

Writing the Stories of Our Lives
Join us for four consecutive Tuesdays (Sep 22 and 29, Oct 6 and 13) from 6:30 to 8:30 to write the story of your life.
Regardless of our age, writing our stories can help us learn about ourselves and make the most out of our lives. It can assure that our knowledge and wisdom are not lost.
Plus, writing is healing. Clinical studies show that it strengthens the immune system.
In this class, you will learn the basic elements of memoir, practice using them to write about your experiences, learn to recognize the patterns of your life, and share your stories for gentle, constructive feedback. And no writing skills are needed.

Combating Misinformation:
How to Respond to the RFK Vaccine Syndrome
You are well informed. But maybe someone you love has questions. And doctors don’t always give the best advice. They are not Immunologists or researchers in the field. Our guest speaker is indeed a specialist. Ken Lapensee, PhD holds an MPH (Master of Public Health). He has consulted with pharma companies giving him a view of vaccine pros and cons from an inside track.
Join him Sunday from Noon to 1:00 in the sanctuary to learn the Truths and Untruths about vaccinations and how you can keep family and friends properly informed.
BuxMont Coffeehouse
Join us for an evening of the arts at BuxMont’s next coffeehouse on October 3 at 5:30 PM. Past coffee houses have featured great music, poetry and improvisation. If you are interested in performing, please complete the online form here or contact Dena Condron at condron6@comcast.net.
