Please join us on Sunday (2 September 2018) at 11:00 AM for “Come as You Are” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

Welcome back to the first Sunday of the church year when we turn our focus to Unitarian Universalist history, heritage, and identity.

This is also the beginning of the Religious Education year for children and youth.

Religious education classes for children and youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service.  Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service and then are dismissed to class.

Adult Religious Education will begin next week (9 September 2018) at the regular time — 9:15 AM.

Please join us on Sunday (26 August 2018) at 11:00 AM for “That’s Part of the Ocean, Too” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

Our annual  water communion service is an “end of summer reunion” where we bring water from our various  summer experiences to pour into a common vessel as we briefly share our stories of the water we’ve brought.

Your water may come from far away or it may be from a puddle in your backyard or your kiddie pool or your kitchen sink.

And we will have symbolic water on hand if you forget to bring yours.

The water is boiled, filtered, and frozen, and used for baby dedications, naming ceremonies and other rites of passage (this is for ceremonial use and not for drinking).

Following the service, we will have our annual end of Summer swim party and potluck at the home of Kathy Osuch and Mike Roberts (address will be available on the Caring Connection and Religious Education Facebook groups and on a flyer at the church — you can also email Kathy for the information).

Bring an appetizer,  side dish or dessert to share.  We will provide a main course to be announced, with carnivore and vegetarian options.

Please join us on Sunday (5 August 2018) at 11:00 AM f0r “When Love is Not the Easy Choice” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

Summer fun activities for children and youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service.

Don’t forget that the following Sunday (12 August 2018) is Artist Sunday — a multi-generational celebration of the performing and visual arts.

Every element of the worship service is some form of performing art — poetry, dance, vocal or instrumental music, drama, juggling, kung fu, you name it.

We have a visual art show and sale in the religious education wing on Artist Sunday.
