Plan to attend our third ‘FUS History Smash’ on March 30: “1936-1951: Resilience in the Face of Challenge and Change”. There will be a 5-minute presentation during the assembly that day, and a more in-depth discussion will follow in the Upper Assembly Hall, 12:15 to 1:15. A Zoom link will be provided for the 12:15 event, and the program will also be available on the FUS YouTube Channel for later viewing.
Here’s a brief description of the March 30 program:
From the ’30s through the War, challenges were huge: Society members faced the Depression, lost their landmark building, and accepted the resignation of John Dietrich. Nevertheless, they built mighty religious education and music programs and daringly planned for a site at 900 Mt Curve. AND they laid foundations for reproductive health care in Minnesota.
Here’s more about our 6-part ‘FUS History Smash’ series:
As this congregation prepares to self-survey next year for the choosing of our next settled minister, we want to know who we have been and who we want to be. To this purpose, the Transition Team has planned 5-minute snap-shots of six periods in the Society’s 143 year history. On the last Sunday – or near last Sunday of upcoming months, you’ll hear the 5-minute snap-shot during the assembly and be invited to a discussion in more depth after lunch. We hope to hear from each of you how you see the challenges of that historical period as relevant today. We want each to be heard so we learn who we have been and who we want to be.
