(ONE SERVICE EACH SUNDAY, THROUGH July 31)

In the Spirit of Curiosity, Compassion and Justice
The Rev. Douglas Wadkins and members of the second Beloved Conversations cohort
       For over 8 weeks, more than a dozen members of this community have been engaged in a transformative learning experience called Beloved Conversations. These conversations are an embodiment of the spiritual practice of deep listening and the sharing of stories that shape our human experience. This service will ask us all to reflect on our own understandings of race and privilege, and invite us rethink how we live our own lives in relation to the current trajectory of racial justice in this country and the world.
What's Happening in Religious Education This Week?
"Oh! The Places You'll Go" this Sunday as we explore the Dr. Seuss classic of the same name.  We will move through an obstacle course and try our hands at paper airplanes as we connect with our green promise -- grow by seeking.
First Steps Introductory UU Class - Sunday, July 3
     First Steps is a 40-minute drop-in class for newcomers, one Sunday a month at  11:35 a.m. in Room 110.  It offers a brief introduction to Unitarian Universalism and our congregation.  Free childcare available in Room 108. Questions?  Email Ann LeDuc at connect@uubloomington.org.
