Dear FUUSE Family Members,
Each year during the pledge drive, we need a group of people to gather together to write notes to the members and friends of FUUSE in the big pledge mailing. It would be great to have every member and friend receive a note with a personal message of appreciation. We are asking for your help in meeting this goal.
You are receiving this letter because you are a connected member of our FUUSE family and we know how much you value our church home and efforts. You are active in our community and have built relationships with many. We invite you to help us reach out and acknowledge each and every member. If you know of someone else who would like to join us, please let us know and bring them along.
In addition, we are turning this work effort into a nice gathering out at Apple Annie, courtesy of Wayne and Laurie Loosigian. We will provide snacks, dessert, and beverages. Please accept our invitation and let Janis know whether or not you will be able to join us! Come anytime after 6:30.
Let’s keep FUUSE folks connected, and let’s nurture those connections. Please join us!
Thank you,
Betsy Arnold and Janis Tierney
Save the Date: Sunday May 5th Women and Girls' Celebration!

FUUSE Social Justice Committee Meeting of September 3, 2011
FUUSE Social Justice Committee Meeting of September 3, 2011
Present: Polly Friedrichs, J.B. Gardner, Marion Mengert, Bob Moore, Lorraine Petzky, Jim Webber, David Weber, Malcolm Wetherbee, Pat Yosha
We reviewed and reaffirmed the organizational approach we developed last year: the committee will meet monthly but individual members will pursue particular interests continuously. At the monthly meetings (on first Saturdays) members will be able to share thoughts, concerns, information, and announcements and to receive reality checks and suggestions.
Bob Moore will be the group's contact person on peace issues; Marion Mengert on attempts to mitigate the evictions of local persons and families who are behind in their property tax payments; Pat Yosha and David Weber will both work on the broader issue of statewide revenue reform. Frank Heffron will chair the committee with help from Pat and David.
The committee will make every effort to communicate more consistently and fully with the congregation as a whole than we did last year. We aim to maintain a bulletin board and to have at least a monthly table in the Parish Hall between the two Sunday services; we established a calendar that pairs committee members with specific Sundays during the fall and winter. Questions and suggestions from FUUSE members are always welcome.
On Wednesday Sept. 7 there will be a showing of "9/11: Blueprint for Truth" in the FUUSE Parish Hall at 6:30 p.m. This film offers an analytical engineering-based argument that the WTC towers were not caused to collapse by the planes but by planted explosives.
Coming events: 100 Thousand Poets for Change, a public, open-air reading of poems on public themes, will be held on the Town House Common on Saturday, Sept. 24, from noon til 4 p.m.
A meeting for current and prospective area activists on the state budget and revenue issues will be hosted by the Granite State Fair Tax Coalition at South Church in Portsmouth on Tuesday evening, September 27, from 6:30 to 8:30 (in the church building across the street from the church itself).

VISIONING THE MISSION OF FUUSE
The time is now to choose one of the opportunities that have been set up for us to continue the conversation begun at our Missioning Morning on
March 11 in small groups. We have created fourteen different times that you can meet with some others in our community along with representatives from the Board of Trustees to carry on with this work so vital to our future.
We chose to have the two groups on Sunday meet during the services so that people can join in the conversation and coffee hour and still attend a worship service. All groups will meet at the church, spaces to be determined when we see how many people sign-up for each one.
Please review the options below, decide which one is best for you, and e-mail that choice to Board of Trustees Chair Deb Merrick: merrick@earthlink.net (or telephone her: 679-2524.) You may also sign up in the Community Room during Coffee Hour on Sundays.
