During the past year the Fellowship has made progress on several fronts.

*We have new members, and visitors are with us most Sundays.

*We have children's Religious Education in the Church's Education Building on most Sundays with the hard work and leadership of Bill and Eve Nunan with the assistance of Jackie Berg.

*Hearty thanks should go to the Program Committee, Newsletter Editor, those who led services (programs).

*Thank you to the Treasurer, the Secretary and the SBUF Board for the progress we have made.

*Special thanks to the people who open and set up for Sunday meetings.

*And those who bring refreshments also deserve our thanks and appreciation. 

*Those who have opened up their homes to Fellowship events are also greatly appreciated.
