“Together is Better" Lunch
2026-01-18 13:00 - 14:30 UTC | NC
What a great way to start the New Year! We’re joining with members of Temple Kol Tikvah, our neighbor on Davidson’s South Street, for lunch from 1-2:30 p.m. that day.

This gathering has grown out of the visit we enjoyed when Rabbi Becca spoke to our Fellowship for Easter services. We all agreed that we would like to get to know our neighbors, and what better way than to break bread together? We are also asking our Quaker Friends if they would like to join us as well. Lunch will be inside at the temple. All we need to bring is dessert and homemade breads. See our 1/15/26 Newsletter for details on more details of the event/parking/food details and our contact members.

Feb. 8 – All-Music Service

If you were ever going to invite your friends to a Unitarians of Lake Norman service, this is the one. All music for 90 minutes in deference to folks who think two hours is too long. Born on Gail and Jim Arnold’s back porch as an auction item, the popularity of this ringing tribute to the musical heritages of all who show up exceeds expectations and turns out to be a big, beautiful affirmation of who we are and what we love.

Share the Plate: This Sunday’s Share the Plate collection will benefit All Souls Community of Rutherford County.

If you have not been to a fence build in a while, please join us this Saturday.

We usually go out to lunch after we complete our build, so feel free to join us.

Feb. 15 – Rev. Gary Phillips and three other writers: ‘Welcome to Death Faire‘

Phillips and friends will share with us from Welcome to Death Faire, the work of 31 writers and probably that many photographers. It is a lavish, creative effort to do what the book’s curator, Tami Schwerin, calls “bringing death out of the closet.” Like the Mexican Day of the Dead, Death Faire has graced Pittsboro, N.C., for the past ten years with three-day gatherings of funeral directors, casket makers, hospice workers, health care workers and other caring community folks to face death and maybe even dance with it a little. Schwerin will be with Rev. Phillips along with a couple of the other writers including our own Pat Jobe.
