Because the first Sunday of April is Easter, we decided to move trivia forward by a week...hope to see lots of you in The Cup for the ultimate test of fun facts and bizarre knowledge you've stored up in your cabeza!

Due to the inclement weather and iffy road conditions,
we've decided to cancel
tonight's Coffeehouse.

Join us here in The Cup on Friday, March 13th for a spaghetti dinner benefit to support the family of Fred Griffith, who passed away on February 22nd. We'll break bread, remember Fred, and share our care for his wife Leigh, son Gwyd, and family. All are welcome; a $12 donation is suggested, but we believe in paying what you can.

Sharing an open invitation to the Houlton and surrounding community....please join us on Friday, March 13th as we support the Griffith family after the passing of our friend, Fred.

Chef Joyce will be preparing a spaghetti dinner -- all homemade, of course! -- for the event. A $12 donation is recommended, but we ask that you give what you can to support the family with expenses during this difficult time.

If you're not able to attend but still want to show your care, donations can be sent to the UU Church of Houlton, 61 Military St., Houlton, ME 04730. We've been taking up a collection for several weeks and will ensure that your support gets to Leigh and her family. Just be sure there's a memo noting that the donation is for the Griffiths.

We're baaaaaaack -- after a long hibernation in January and February, we're re-emerging for more trivia madness now that it's officially March! And just think about how much time we've had to come up with diabolically difficult questions....mwahahaha!

Bring your brain and your buddies...and an appetite, since Chef Joyce will have chicken enchiladas on offer!

See you at 12:30p on Sunday!

A favorite voice from Saturday nights at The Cup comes to the Parlor this Sunday morning (March 1)...excited for Bertrand's talk!

We're excited to be joined by a great friend of the UU here in Houlton -- Bertrand Laurence -- for this Sunday's service. Bertrand will give a talk on "The Church Next Door", in which he'll speak about his relationship with his late father-in-law, Pastor Kwan Lee who served at our neighboring Methodist Church for many years.

We invite our friends at the Methodist Church -- and all of those who knew Pastor Lee or enjoy Bertrand's music and storytelling -- to join us for this special event. And stay (or come back!) for trivia at 12:30 in The Cup!
