Help Shape Sunday Lunch at UUCB — Survey Closes August 23rd
We’ve put together a short survey, about five minutes, to learn how important lunch is to you, what kind of food keeps you staying after service, and whether you’re able to help out.
Your input will directly shape how we approach Sunday lunch starting in September, so please take a few minutes to share your thoughts before the survey closes on Sunday, August 23rd at midnight.
Board of Trustees July 2026 News
After reviewing the concluding report and recommendations from the Freestone Discernment Task Force, the Board voted on July 8 to list the Freestone property for sale and engage the services of a Realtor. The task force had spent time listening to and engaging with UUCB groups and members about the congregation’s November 2026 vote to either sell or donate the property. A significant majority of congregants expressed a greater preference for selling rather than donating the property.
The Board will consider the question of use of sale proceeds at a future date.
