BUF's New Addition
There is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before.

Bellingham Unitarians celebrate completion of church expansion

Music, speakers and shared good feelings are a regular part of religious life at Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship, but they took on extra significance Sunday, Oct. 10, when the church dedicated its $1.5 million addition. "This has been such a long time coming," said Doug Wadkins, the fellowship's minister. "It's a really celebratory time for us."
