Greetings fellow UUs and supporters! We are meeting IN PERSON and on Zoom until further notice. Our theme for August is Paradox. --- Sunday, August 7th Service: 'Just as we live separate lives, we come together as a beloved community to gain strength, wisdom, and yes, love from each other. Our lives merge together just as the separate containers of water merge into the larger vessel.' --- Service outline Service slides Facebook Event Please visit us either in person at 1119 Johnston St. or on Zoom: tinyurl.com/zoomuulala or via the link at uulala.org. We visit with coffee and snacks from 10:30-11 am. The service runs from 11 am until 12 noon. After the service every second Sunday of the month we have a potluck dinner. On other Sundays we go out to eat at a local restaurant. Everyone is invited!--- --- Last Sunday's Service Recap: Older adulthood is a time to take stock of one's journey and to affirm that which is of most importance. It can be a rich time in the lives of adults - a time when we are often open to new learning and discovery, a time of deepening friendships and relationships, a time of theological reflection as we explore questions of meaning and purpose. It can be a time when adults discern the dimensions of the legacy they will someday leave behind - spiritual gifts, loving relationships, tangible assets, and ethical wills. Most older adults face the physical realities of aging and the emotional and spiritual realities of loss and grief at some point along the way. While many older adults are active participants in familiar organizations, communities, and congregations, for some this is a challenge. -- Presented by Diane Kirksey --- Thanks to everyone who contributed to the Stuff The Bus Campaign and to Chris Menard for delivering the items to the United Way office!
