"Tiptoeing into God Talk"
Sharon Wylie, Seminarian from Starr King School for the Ministry with Worship Associate Carole Rosvold
Sometimes it seems that Unitarian Universalists are able to talk about anything and everything but God. We have so many varying beliefs, it can feel safer not to share our ideas about God with each other (including the idea that there is no God). But we are not people to avoid a challenge either! Let's reflect on some ways we might talk about God together.

There are no refreshments after the services, just coffee. There is also no choir. Just a bare bones service with a chance to get to know one another better.

| Heads up all elders!
Rev. Chip will be leading a series of three classes
this fall around End of Life Issues.
Not only will it cover the practical and necessary steps to prepare for this inevitability, but the emotional issues that are involved as well. The classes will require registration. You will be hearing more in the
following weeks! The
sessions will be held on Sundays after services
beginning in October. If you have questions or suggestions regarding this series, please contact Carol Littrell at 883-9676 or cjwlittrell@aol.com

Our committee is small and we need your input to keep abreast of members' needs. Please contact us whenever you become aware of a need such as shopping, visiting, meals, rides. We operate on a temporary basis, but we do
care and wish to serve this congregation well. You may contact Carol Littrell, Don Beck, Anne Baele, Art Rosvold, Phil Hildreth, Babs Turrentine & Linda Haumann (after RE resumes).
