Jubilee Participants' Visions for 2034
Unitarian Universalist Church of Fort Lauderdale (UUCFL)

January 24, 2009

See the fun we had at our Jubilee gala on Snapfish.com

An expanded kitchen.

-- Anonymous

  A place for fellowship and community and good will.

-- Anonymous

I hope there will be younger members & more children.

-- Anonymous

I will still be a member! We will thrive - way better than 1999-2012.

-- Paige Breen Page

Field trips out of state for teens. More extra activities for after service.

-- Steadman Clemetson

I see the UUCFL with a 1000 happy, productive & peace loving members. Amen.

-- Peter Patton

I hope the church is still the same. I hope the rest of the world will catch up.

-- Jim Gruszynski

More parties for the church. Brunches of real food rather than snacks. Longer services.

-- Nicole Shulman

We will be a strong UU beacon among a growing national UU movement that will revitalize the world.

-- David Griswold

I see myself guest speaking about the great people I have met & the wonderful stories we shared.

-- (Signature unclear)

I hope to see more leaders emerging, more families - more young kids, even more diversity.

-- Rev. Gail Tapscott

That I will be here for the 25 year time capsule. My stories will be just as good then as those would be tonight.

-- Noralee Traylor

I hope to see an even stronger community, one that spans generations. And more chocolate cake at the 75th Anniversary Jubilee.

-- Alexis Blasenheim

Filled with young & old alike loving, sharing and following their hearts to a place where the Divine meets the sublime.

-- Rev. Kathleen A. Bishop

UUCFL will continue to be a voice for civil rights and a beacon for liberal religious thought. It will be a place where all are welcome and can find a home. Many good wishes for the future.

-- Sally Simonis

I am hoping that UUCFL becomes a mecca for liberal faith and grows to over 200 active members. I hope that we participate in environmental and social activism under a female U.S. President!

-- Judy King

I believe the number of members will quadruple as people recognize the need to appreciate diversity and reconcile that with the need for community. I look forward to being a part of this positive growth.

-- Susan Michelle Blake-Gruszynski

I'm looking forward to 25 years from now--the year 2033.

I see that President Michelle Obama has just selected Geneva Lange as Secretary for the Arts.

And 25 years from now--when I mention our church to people in the Fort Lauderdale, instead of blank stares or puzzled looks which I sometimes get, I more frequently hear . . .

  • Isn't that the beautiful church on 21st Avenue?
  • Isn't that the church that stands up for people?
  • Isn't that the church that embraces all religious traditions?
  • Isn't that the church that reveres the earth?
I see--25 years from now--a church that the community looks to for religious and moral leadership.

Now I want you all to stand up--since this is the church that stands up, I want you all to stand up.

--Ken Beier, President

I envision health, prosperity, togetherness, patience & understanding w/in the U.U. Religion. This church must show everyone that all backgrounds must be accepted. It has already started but we must continue.

-- Vanessa Gilyard

I wish for a budget with no deficit. I wish for people to know who we are. I wish for a long tradition of right relationship amongst our members. I wish that building expansion is a happy memory. I wish that our minister to be happy and well remunerated.

-- Myra Symons-Kazanci
