Lean On Me
Worship Leader: Rev. Julie Forest
Worship Associate: Fred Bloss
Rev. Chuck and I will be creating a worship service on July 2 with a focus on grief and the many forms that it takes. We do this with an awareness that it will have been approximately a year since your last minister, the Reverend Suzanne Marsh, died unexpectedly. After the service, we will be installing a picture of Rev. Marsh as well as a plaque. After coffee, Rev. Chuck and I, along with members of the Lay Pastoral Care Team, will host small groups for folks to have a safe place to share any of the many griefs that they may be carrying.

Freedom and the Free Church
Worship Leader: Rev. Julie Forest
Worship Associate: Josette Pacino
Our faith is free, but it is not a free ride. Nor does it mean that you can believe anything you want and be a UU. Our faith requires conviction of us if we want to truly respond to the world with freedom rather than the rote responses of a consumerist society.
Kurt Jordan, accompanist
