Lost & Found: A number of articles have made their way to the Lost & Found area of the office, including black boots and a cooler. The pile is getting unmanageable, and things will be discarded (except reading glasses and umbrellas, which are shamelessly adopted by the staff).
The Lunch Bunch meets after the service for lunch at a local restaurant and maybe something else afterwards. See Don Price in the Great Hall
Free Loans , over 100 Books for reading and Films for viewing – stop by at the Seeds of Peace table after the Service.
Green Earth Ministry (GEM) will be collecting used cell phones and batteries at MUF during the month of October. We will have a collection box at all times on the mantle in Room 100.

Please dig out your old cell phones for our collection!
