Notes from the Director
Dear Friends,
As I continue to keep you all in my hearts and thoughts, please know that I am just an email or a phone call away. While I am no longer holding virtual “office hours”, you can reach me on my personal phone at 507-995-7929. My typical workdays are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday. I will continue to do my best to serve as a resource to our community, through connecting you to one another and of course, directly. Being a light in the lives of others is as important as ever, and I hope you will stay connected.
Please consider joining our private Facebook group: UUFM Children’s Faith Development
(https://www.facebook.com/groups/1404655806251029/). This group is intended for families and congregants who are involved in Children’s Faith Development. My approval of new members’ access to the information there is what makes the group a safe space for sharing. I will be sharing our weekly stories as Facebook videos on my personal page publicly and sharing them in the group, as well as short prayers and meditations.
Link to the stories:
Our virtual Stories for All Ages are now available on the UUFM YouTube Channel. At least one new story will be available by Sunday, each week.

Youth Group:
Tonight, we invite our youth to attend a Facebook Live Virtual Town Hall Meeting from 6-7:15pm at www.facebook.com/SenatorFrentz. Panelists will include, Greater Mankato Diversity Council Executive Director Bukata Hayes, City of Mankato, Minnesota Government Director of Public Safety Amy Vokal, Najwa Massad – Mankato Mayor, and former Student Government at Minnesota State Mankato President Anisa Omar. The panelists will discuss the killing of George Floyd, racial equity, police accountability, criminal justice reform, and where we go from here.
