Sunday, June
6, 2010: Bullying is Not OK
Rev. Kimi Riegel
Rev. Kimi Riegel will address
the on-going issue of bullying in our schools, in our homes and even in our
communities of faith. This is a serious issue that won't go away - why?
Sunday, June
13, 2010: Flower Communion
Rev. Kimi Riegel
Each year we Unitarian
Universalists celebrate a flower communion. Like a traditional communion, we
share in the glory of creation. We each bring a flower to church and take a
different one home. Don't have any flowers? Don't worry; we always have enough. Flower communion is the celebration
of our community. Don't miss it!

Youth Programs by Jan Price
Thanks are in order to the
Ewick family for donating sand left over from their Relay for Life
endeavor! Also thanks to Sam Vansen for
getting the sandbox cleaned out and putting it all in! It is all much appreciated. We could still use more sand if anyone wants
to donate -just bring in a bag or two and dump it on in! PLEASE MAKE SURE IT IS "PLAY" SAND.
