 Sunday Worship Service
|
| Sunday, July 25th, 10:00 AM
If you don't usually attend UUCM in the summer because you don't think
the sermons are professional, think again. This summer Sharon Wylie,
Starr King seminary student, is doing 6 services and she is excellent.
Her content is good and her delivery is wonderful. Give yourself a treat
and come to one of her remaining 4 services.
"Wrestling with Privilege"
Sharon Wylie, Seminarian from Starr King School for the Ministry with Worship Associate Rodney Gothelf
Understanding
race and class privilege is an important part of resisting oppressive
systems in our culture, but it's also important spiritual work. Come
consider how understanding privilege and marginalization enhances your
own healing and wholeness.

Our Basket Share Ideas Needed!
|
| Put on your thinking caps: It's time to nominate great local nonprofits
for next year's Basket Share program!
Ideally, a nominee should be a
Bay Area organization that a congregant is truly involved with (e.g. as
a volunteer) or receives services from.
By sharing our offering basket with a different local nonprofit for 8
Sundays per year, we live our UU principles while gaining valuable
nonprofit partners that have similar goals.
We already have a couple of nominations, but we need more! E-mail your suggestions to Susan Ingersoll.

Update from the Partner Church Committee
|
| We wish to thank those who have already
contributed to the fund to help bring to Berkeley the whole family of
next year's Balazs scholar, Rev. Levente Lazar, who is also the
minister of our partner Church in Sovata. So far the total amount we have received
is $535. To recap briefly, When Levente applied for
the scholarship, he was told that this year it could only fund the
scholar, spouse and one child. Levente and his wife Erika have two. They felt that they could not leave one behind. We empathize with that,
and along with several other churches who are also partner churches of
the Revs Levente and Erika, we are trying to raise enough money to bring
along the second child. The opportunity for Levente to attend the
Starr King School for the Ministry is a broadening opportunity for
him; we too will be able to meet him and learn more about his church and
members. To donate, please make your check out to UUCM and put "Belazs
Scholar" on the memo line or donate on the UUCM website.
