Sunday Worship Service

July 29, 10:30 am: Love into Action
Lindasusan Ulrich with Worship Associate Rodney Gothelf
There are many ways to put love into action: witnessing for immigrant rights; teaching others about nonviolent principles; sharing the prophetic word of freedom; participating in the Occupy movement. How does your love for the world call you to action?
Join us for this service led by Lindasusan Ulrich, a Candidate for UU ministry and a student at Starr King School for the Ministry.
August 5, 10:30 am: A Midsummer's Day Dream
UUCM Reader's Theatre with Worship Associate Karen Auroy
With its Puckish humor, UUCM Reader's Theatre treats all things religious lightheartedly in this presentation of poems, playlets, fables and mock legends. Come prepared to dream, sigh and laugh at the likes of wayward moths, Tomales Bay herons, the owl-god, kissing gouramis, the mani-pedi god, and the first cam-u-el. Includes works by James Thurber, Mary Oliver, Cynthia Rylant, Louise Bogan and Anne Sexton. Sprinkled with imaginative piano interludes by Milton Wong.

Social Concerns Items |
Last week's intensive charette on homelessness produced a broad community-wide plan aimed toward ending homelessness in Marin. To read the final recommendations, contact figleafjoan@comcast.net.
(Charette is from the French for "cart" or "chariot." It originally had something to do with architects working on their plans at the last minute while riding en charette to the final presentation. The term is used today by designers and city planners.)
