Before the event\, guests draw tickets at random that assign each to a high\, middle\, or low-income level based on current statistics of people living in poverty. Each group receives a meal that corresponds to their income level. The high-income group is served a sumptuous meal; the middle-income group eats a simpler meal of rice and beans; and the low-income group receives rice and water. \nAbout 80 percent of the world’s hungry people work as farmers\, herders\, fishers or laborers in rural communities. In these parts of the world\, conflict\, erratic weather patterns and power imbalances limit access to resources like fertile land and clean water. Oxfam Hunger Banquets® bring these issues into communities across the United States to address the importance of building a better food system. \nPlease join us after service on March 24th for the UUFN Oxfam Hunger Banquet. Contact Julia van der Veur to help with the event or for more information. Contact Julia directly or via Fellowship@UUFN.org.

Ayliah Cannon DESCRIPTION:Everyone is hungry for something. It could be love\, success\, money or fame\, or maybe it’s something as simple as a nice\, healthy meal. It might seem like love\, success or money are the hardest things to find\, and a simple\, nutritious meal is not a big deal. But that could easily change if you’re poor\, unemployed\, disabled\, or part of a marginalized community. But together\, we can begin to make a difference by educating ourselves on food insecurity. \nWorship doors (Virtual and Physical) open at 10am. \nWorship Service begins at 10:30am. \nCoffee Hour (Virtual Breakout sessions and Physical at UUFN) from 11:30-12:00pm. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nFor worship questions\, email worship@uufn.org. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Email worship@uufn.org \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nView a list of upcoming worship services. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Upcoming Worship Services URL:https://uufn.org/event/worship-hybrid-16-8/ LOCATION:Hybrid: Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Newark AND Virtual on zoom\, 420 Willa Road\, Newark\, DE\, 19711\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uufn.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Young-adult-dinner-1040x500-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Worship Team":MAILTO:worship@uufn.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240322T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240322T220000 DTSTAMP:20240328T044242 CREATED:20231114T012610Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240315T173228Z UID:10002692-1711132200-1711144800@uufn.org SUMMARY:4th Friday Game Night DESCRIPTION:Come one\, come all to the 4th Friday Game Night!

Most often when difficulties occur in group settings it is due to poor communication.
