Today
A home at 25 Chalice Circle.
The Fellowship gathers each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. — in person - at 25 Chalice Circle, Fredericksburg, Virginia and livestreamed — at YOUTUBE, and is once again filling its Sunday space. UUFF continues to welcome new members while Rev. Brown casts the vision of creating a community wellness center: a place for worship, yoga, meditation, book clubs, Qigong, service with people experiencing homelessness, and public witness for human rights.
