  Sunday Mornings at 10:30

July 4: "The Fate of Nations" The song we sing to the tune of Finlandia reminds us that while we have deep and abiding affection for our country, so too do other people for theirs.  In order to fulfill a patriotic duty, let's look at the bigger picture, and the changes in the scope and nature of nationhood itself.

July 11: Forum. Ken Kraft talks about Susie Kraft’s grandfather, W. A. Wheeler. Born in 1876 into a Congregational family, he evolved into a Unitarian. He was a college professor and a pioneer in the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture.

July 18: "Inch by Inch" The annual garden service extolling the virtues of patience, and all green growing things. POTLUCK TODAY!

July 25: "Why World Religions?"  Our Principles imply respect and lifelong learning about so many things: why a world full of religions, when we have our own - or do we?

Children's Religious Education will resume in September 2010.

Childcare is available every Sunday.

Invite a friend to come to Fellowship.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

ADULT EDUCATION - contact Rev. Sydney
"The Gift of Years: Growing Older Gracefully" by Joan Chittister has found it's way into the hearts of UUs around the country.  Let's read through it together, stopping to smell the roses along the way.  Fellowship Office, Monday the 10th at 7PM.

Covenant Group welcomes new members.  It meets monthly on Sundays at 12:30, and enjoys an hour and a half of sharing from the heart.

Meditation meets weekly at the Fellowship Office: Fridays promptly from noon until 1PM. We have sharing, instruction, a reading and silence.

Sacred Scripture. Those interested in looking at the texts and practices from the world of religions can contact Rev. Sydney and coordinate an agreeable meeting time.

There is a new online place where you can learn about upcoming community events, share discussion, chatting, post a topic or video or photos about KUUF or with your KUUF friends.  It is a facebook page.  You do NOT have to be on facebook to view the page. A link tab is on the left hand column of the kuuf.net website. I suggest you bookmark the page and visit often to see if there's anything you want to know, about some event happening not directly connected to KUUF. Email Amlan at amlan.m@gmail.com, to get things posted if you are not on facebook yourself:

ONGOING…

COVENANT GROUP meets on first Sundays at BHK. 

Meditation: Every Friday at noon we gather for meditation instruction and practice at the KUUF Office (HOUGHTON at Trinity Episcopal 2nd floor annex, 203 Montezuma St). A short reading is followed by a period of simple silent meditation. Then we talk a bit, end by 12:50, and return to our day refreshed. All are welcome!

On Potluck Sundays, if possible, bring your own eating utensils to avoid using disposable ones. Wash them at home with your next meal’s dishes. If you choose to use the reusable plastic dishes provided by the Fellowship, please wash them yourself in the kitchen to reduce the dish washing chore of the hospitality team.
