Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Sunday Service
By Ann Kuffner, UUFSMA member
Each member of the UUFSMA has followed a unique path that brought them to our Fellowship. For many, the journey has been a deeply personal and spiritual one. What makes our community so rich is precisely this diversity of experience and belief.
The strength of the UU religious tradition lies in our openness to exploring what is meaningful and true for us—what we believe (or don’t believe) about life, the universe, and God. Our common bond is that we accept and practice the “principles” fundamental to the Unitarian Universalist faith. These varied journeys often lead to surprising, enlightening, and—at times—amusing reflections!
Every year, we dedicate a few services to invite willing members to share the paths that led them to UUFSMA. On June 1st, Ann Kuffner and Tom Murlowski will describe their personal journeys and what drew them to find their spiritual home here with UUFSMA.
Ann Kuffner has been an active and dedicated member of UUFSMA since 2018. She currently serves as a Board Member and on the Sunday Service Committee as both Service Coordinator and Leader. In 2023 and 2024, she was responsible for UUFSMA’s Sunday Service publicity articles.
Ann and her husband, Mike—"the cookie guy"—enjoy living in their El Capricho home. One of their favorite activities is to kick up their heels at Arthur Murray’s dance classes and events. In January, they attended the Arthur Murray International Dance-O-Rama in Cabo San Lucas, where Ann competed for the first time.
Tom Murlowski grew up in a suburb of Minneapolis as a casual Catholic. He attended a Catholic grade school and a Catholic military high school. He received an associate degree in Electronics Engineering before spending several decades wandering the country, working various jobs. From 1997 to 2010, he was a professional activist, educating people about America's disastrous "War on Drugs" and the racism and injustice it caused.
Tom settled in Southern California. After retiring in July of 2024, he moved to San Miguel de Allende. He’s a UUFSMA member and currently leads one of the Men’s Groups.
Unitarian Universalism is a liberal faith centered on shared values for living. Our UU Fellowship welcomes people of all ages, races, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. We gather not around a belief in divinity, but around community, love, compassion, social justice, reverence for nature, and the spirituality of music within the interconnected web of existence.
The UUFSMA Social Justice Foundation supports local nonprofits that provide health, educational, environmental, and other services. Learn more at https://www.uufsma.org/foundation.html .
