    EVENTS

    “The  Gathering” Discussion Group led by Rev. Julien Kain met Sunday for a moving and inspiring dialogue based on our monthly topic, Wisdom.  We invite you to join us for our next meeting on Sunday, September 15, right after the service.  Bring a lunch.
    POTLUCK SUNDAY, August11!   What finer way was there to celebrate being back at our church than by sharing a meal.  Mark your calelndar for the next potluck on September 8.
       THE INN MINISTRY: Here is a joyful recipient of a bus pass, flanked by Maria and Janet.  She is desperate to procure a job and feels if she arrives clean and fresh, instead of hot and sweaty from walking miles, her chances are greatly increased.  Money donations mostly go to bus passes to get folks to work, job interviews, medical & other appointments. The generosity of this UU fellowship has been remarkable!   The food and other items are gratefully received.
