27^th year here. Growth, development, change and steadfastness in ministry are notable features. Musicality marks: high. Sociai justice initiatives: by and large, individualized. Caring, casual and courageous are characteristics of FUSF congregants. Welcoming congregation? No doubt about it. Beautiful facility. Spiritual development of parishioners is evident. Strong community that just needs to talk itself up more. Great concert series– LiveARTs and COF. Good luck with your upcoming season!

My husband and I joined FUSF as an interfaith couple (Jewish & Catholic) and found FUSF to be a terrific spiritual home for both of us to explore what it means to be «religious» without giving up who we are. I’ve been fascinated by how much I’ve learned about my Jewish faith and the world’s spiritual leaders — men and women — from our minister, Rev. Carol Rosine. It is amazing to see such diverse, wonderful people from all faiths and backgrounds coming together to talk about what’s important to all of us: love, respect, justice, faith, grace… and what’s going on in the world today and how we can all make a difference. The children not only are taught about these principles in their Sun. AM religious ed classes, but they are nurtured by our FUSF community and taught that their voices DO count, and are included in intergenerational activities and even lead services.
I consider my Sunday mornings at FUSF a chance to be with smart, funny, caring people, and give myself an hour to breathe, reflect and push my «reset button» for the week. I’m glad I gave it a try 15 years ago, in time for my kids to benefit from this type of warm, spiritual grounding about what’s really important, rather than choosing to do «nothing/​neither» — the choice for so many interfaith couples who don’t know about this option.
