SUNDAY SERVICES 10:30AM

August 7
“Belonging”
Rev. Thom Belote, preaching
As one of our hymns (#354) puts it, “We laugh, we cry, we live, we die; we dance, we sing our song. We need to feel there’s something here to which we can belong.” The longing to belong is a core part of experience. In Unitarian Universalism, we practice belonging in many ways – through membership, through covenant, and through programs (like the Welcoming Congregation program) that inspire us to greater inclusion. Join us this morning as we explore belonging.​
​

MUSIC NOTES: This Sunday, congregation member Eric Bannan will sing sing play two of his own songs for the Special Music, as well as provide the Gathering Music.

WELCOMING MINISTRY:
Celebration of Staff Transition
On July 31, 2022, Dana Lundquist officially left our congregation to become the Director of Religious Education at another UU congregation. She handed over the responsibilities (and official stapler!) of the Congregational Administrator to Harrison Gray, the newest member of our staff. The congregation celebrated with ice cream and Italian ice.

WE ARE A WELCOMING CONGREGATION
Picture

We are a congregation that has historically stood for the civil rights of all people, especially those affected by racism and homophobia. We are a Welcoming Congregation, celebrating and affirming the active presence in our congregation of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and heterosexual members and friends and their families. We are actively engaged in dialogue about how to be a more racially diverse, multicultural, anti-oppressive congregation.  

SUNDAY PARKING: Please honor the parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities and limited mobility at the front of the church, as well as the spaces reserved for the Auction Winners. We encourage folks to carpool and/or park offsite, if at all possible. Parking is available at The Community Church, as well as alternate parking options. See a map here. Please note: parking is not allowed at the Kehillah across the street.
WEEKDAY PARKING: The large lot is fully rented; please use the small lot directly in front of the church, the wooded lot along Purefoy Road, or in the lot behind the church.
