News and Announcements

On Sunday, November 1, Trustees and Officers of the First Unitarian Church of St. Louis tallied the votes for the Ministerial Search Committee. Out of 324 eligible church members (those who signed the membership book at least 60 days prior to the election), a total of 184 members voted, including 93 absentee ballots (mailed or dropped off at church before election day).

The following seven people were elected:

Jeff Cary
Tony Fathman
Chris Fawcett
Rob Harding
Joan Kindleberger
Caitlin McQuade

I ask the congregation to join me in extending heartfelt thanks to all ten of the candidates who were willing to commit to undertaking this important work on behalf of the congregation, and for participating in a process that allowed the congregation a choice.

Congregation President

Rev. Samuel Schaal’s sermon will be on “Life, Death, and Immortality” — On this All Souls Day, we will honor those from our community we have lost over the year as we contemplate the mystery of being born and having to die. What in our lives is immortal?

Congregational vote for members of the Ministerial Search Committee. Bring the ballot that was mailed to you and cast your vote in person immediately after the service. If you forget to bring your ballot with you, a duplicate numbered ballot will be available.

Remember: Daylight Saving Time ends, so remember to set your clocks back one hour.
