Next Sunday Sept. 13 (11:00am)   Positivity in this Pandemic     
Meeting on Zoom       Worship Leader: Rev. Kathryn Hawbaker

To some degree, a positive attitude can be cultivated regardless of the external circumstances.  Let’s focus on some of the positive lessons and experiences that will help to shape our future in positive ways.  Do you hear the lead song from Monty Python’s Life of Brian?

Some relationships are suffering, and some are finding new expressions.



Sunday Mornings (9:30am) in the Parlor

The Today’s Issues group meets Sunday mornings (9:30am) in the Office/RE building following social distancing guidelines. 

The group discusses essays from the NY Review of Books.



Looking Ahead 

FUUSM  Adult Religious Exploration  Open Study of Prayers     Monday, Sept. 14, 7-9pm on Zoom with Rev. Hawbaker

This new study is based on the Prayer & Poetry Service (8/23)  and featured articles from the Summer 2020 UU World magazine.  Access by using the Sunday Service Zoom Link.



Sun. Sept. 20    Ingathering Water Ceremony ~   In the Courtyard (9:30am & 10:15am & on Zoom in the sanctuary (11am).

As all things are different and changing, this year’s annual Water Ceremony will refer to our traditions, and also happen in new ways.  When there was a Sternwheel Festival, it made a strong connection to have it on the same weekend, and it marked our Ingathering -the beginning of the FUUSM Program Year (like the school year).  This year we have scheduled the event at the time of the Autumnal Equinox, to reinforce our environmental work and education with an earth-based spiritual orientation.



You are invited to bring actual water for the ceremony into the courtyard, and send photos (for a slideshow) of your sacred waters from this year or previous years.  Please send photos to Rev. Kat Hawbaker by Sun. Sept. 13 and include your name and the name of the place or body of water.



Sun. Sept. 27  (11am)  Fall Congregational Meeting   (Zoom & Sanctuary)

Your input and vote is important to address future plans and the proposed budget.  Agenda & Proposed Budget will be shared by email.

*Please respond to the Survey from the Board (Ted Goertzel) to share your feedback and help with our planning.
