The Good News
The Good News is the Unitarian Universalist Christian Fellowship's newsletter, that is published six times a year. It includes sermons, essays, UUCF news, biblical commentary, prayers, liturgies, reviews of books and films, and more. Included in your UUCF membership is a subscription to the Good News.
Did you know you can now receive our "Good News" periodical sooner by letting us
know you want to receive it by email?
In addition to being more Eco-friendly since
you can print only the pages you choose (or none at all!) this also saves the UUCF
money which we can use in other ways to further our mission and improve. As a bonus
to you, you will receive the Good News
as much as 2 weeks before the print
copy would arrive in your mailbox.
To receive an electronic version of the Good News send us an email (UUCFOffice@aol.com) request.
Please check your mailing label on this
issue of the Good News. It will contain the month and year when your membership and subscription is or was due.
For example, 2008-10 means you need to renew in October of 2008. You can quickly and easily renew your
membership online by going to www.uuchristian.org and going to the Members section and then to the link for Join
Renew Pledge. If you have any difficulties contact us at UUCFOffice@aol.com or through the contact us link on the
website. Doing this will save us the expense of sending out the every two month renewal letters and return postage.
