Sharing the Journey
Sunday, July 1 at 11 am in the Sanctuary
service conducted by The Reverend Craig Scott
Each of us is on a unique journey through
this life -- spiritual, intellectual, moral,
social. And we meet together in community to
support each other and to share stories of
our individual journeys.
And yet -- like streams merging to form a
mighty river -- our journey together becomes
more than just a collection of our personal
journeys.
What is our vision for the future direction
of this mighty river that we come together to
form?
This Sunday we will reflect on some questions
about what we want our larger Unitarian
Universalist community to be.
Worship Associate Alison Rittger will
assist in the service.
Following the service meet Rev. Scott, our
guest minister in July, in the King Rooms at
an informal reception. A light lunch will be
available for a nominal charge.

I Dream of Nancy...
Executive Director Nancy Evans, pictured at
right receiving an pledge from Rev. TS King, is
asking Members and Friends to send in their
remaining 2006-2007 pledge payments.
Sunday starts the 2007-2008 fiscal year, so please
mail in your pledge or bring it to church!
The summer months traditionally have cash-flow
crunches because people are on vacation and not
coming to church with their checks. Please help by
staying up-to-date (or prepaying!) your pledge.
