Hope Is Yours!
Sunday, July 13 at 11 am in the Church Sanctuary
service conducted by The Rev. Gregory Stewart

We will conclude the Hope sermon series by applying what we have unearthed about hope over the past ten months to our daily decision making.

How does one commit to being more hopeful in the face of life's inconsistencies?

Even hope itself is a personal decision, and I'll share three strategies for making hope your very own. Let us rise up and live in hope!

Joining me on the Chancel will be Worship Associate Christine Patch-Lindsay. The acclaimed Unitarian Universalist recording artist Roy Zimmerman ministers in music.

This is another great Sunday to bring someone with you to church.

Create Your Mandala
Leave Church at 10 Sunday for the Faithful Fools
from Betty Skwarek
Acting Director of Religious Education

Summer Arts is off to a great start! Here's one of the mandalas created last week.

Mandala made last week

Summer Arts is offering community, diversity, creativity... all wrapped up with a lot of fun.

We still have openings for this free program. You may register Sunday at 9:55 before the group leaves from the Chapel to walk to the Faithful Fools. This is a "Lifespan" program – so you don't need to be a child to participate!


Childcare for ages 0 to 5 is available from 9:45 until 12:15 Sunday and throughout the summer. Older children who are not participating in Summer Arts are invited to attend the 11 am Sanctuary worship service. The ushers have mandala pictures for those who want to keep their hands busy. The Religious Education Library and playground will be open for children to use from 10 until 12:30 with adult supervision.
