Planning the FALL FESTIVAL FUN(D)RAISER red-fall-leaves-banner.jpg

 

We want to hear from you.        
  as the Spirit United Fall Fundraiser is planned.
Let's make it a "Fun Raiser", too.

 

In the past we've had  
healers, readers, vendors, a bake sale,
a Bistro Cafe, and a silent auction. 

Do you have some other ideas to augment the event?  ...music?  ...face painting for a fee?  raising revenue in creative ways? 

 

Come join this one-time
planning session
Sunday, August 2, 2015
shortly after the service.

 

We'll meet for about an hour and we promise to make it fun.

The Spiritual Practice
of Saying "No"
with
Rev. Ron Moor

and musicians Meg Miura and David Chapman 
 
Where has the summer gone? Are you so busy that there is not enough time available to participate as much as you would like in this glorious season? Or in other activities that feel important? How good are you at saying No? Saying No often is much more difficult than saying yes, yet saying Yes to Life frequently requires saying No.  
KIDS WITH SPIRIT
Miriam, Yosef and Aleah along with Tom Vetter.



We look forward to seeing
you all in September.
Planning is underway.
  

Activity bags available during the service.

Have a great summer.

Happenings
BLUE MOON

This is the second full moon this month.  The first full moon was on July first.


Some say July is the month of the Full Buck Moon. Bucks begin to grow new antlers at this time. Others say this full Moon is the Thunder Moon, because thunderstorms are so frequent during this July.
