Summer Sunday Services  (through August)
presented by the Sunday Services Committee.  Each Sunday will have different topic and presenters and often followed by time for discussions. 

August 8 –  Atheism -and- Antitheism   –   Rev. Joan Gelbein and Abe Gelbein each presenting one of the "A's".
Unitarian Universalism includes a range of beliefs, from a liberal take on traditional religion, to agnosticism, to various types of Humanism (secular, religious, naturalist), and to atheism and even antitheism. Humanists are often considered to be agnostics or atheists. Where are you on this spectrum and what does it say about what Unitarian Universalism needs to be doing?

August 15 What is a Soul?   –   Corina Hansquine and Carole Stephens 
Using questions raised at the Unitarian Universalist UU Salon website http://uusalon.blogspot.com  and the thoughts of various people, living or dead, real or fantasy,
Corina and Carole will help us explore some thoughts on the soul.

The Tale of 19th Century Universalist Hindu Unitarian Cross-Pollination or how I was raised as a transcendental Unitarian Universalist without me or my family realizing it.

September 5 New Beginnings   Rev. Joan Gelbein and Carole Stephens  
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind is a part of ourselves.” Anatole France (French poet, journalist, and novelist 1844-1924)

Moving to our new building is an exciting change for us, but it is a change nevertheless, and change involves grieving what is left behind.  We will help each other identify and say goodbye to what we leave behind and welcome what lies ahead.

September 12Ingathering   Steve McDaniel and Abe Gelbein

Please join in and bring a stone from anywhere special to you.  Pianist Abbie Modjeska, Choir
