"There and Back Again:
Tolkien, Journeys and Goodbyes"
Reverend Douglas Wadkins
Reverend Mary Ann Macklin
As we prepare to honor our shared journey for two years with the Rev. Douglas Wadkins, he will return to a time-tested source of wisdom: Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings. In images, reflection, and music, we will explore the power of journeys and the gift of goodbyes.
There will be a farewell reception for Reverend Wadkins following the service, in Fellowship Hall.

Reverend Wadkins Home Study Number
Unavailable After July 29
Since Reverend Wadkins will shortly begin his next interim ministry assignment in Ann Arbor, Michigan, his local home study number ending in 4179 will no longer function after Friday, July 29. After July 31, he will also no longer be reachable at w adkins@uubloomington.org or at 812-332-3695 ext. 207. Of course we will miss him, but we wish him the best in his new adventure!

Parking Off-site on Sunday, July 31 is a Good Idea
If possible, please be sure to park off-site this Sunday, July 31, our last summer one-service Sunday. We expect a pretty good crowd to hear Rev. Wadkins preach on his last Sunday with us. Parking is available on the paved areas to the west of Fee Lane, at the Marching Hundred Hall across the Bypass, and on Jordan Avenue, just a short walk to the south of the church.
