Following services this Sunday at noon, we invite you to bring a yummy dish to share and join in a congregation-wide potluck in harmony hall!

After everyone has eaten, we hope you'll stay to join in a discussion around the future of small groups here at UCOP. We would like a high level discussion of what has taken place with small groups so far and the current groups and their successes. We'd like you to help specify what the pros and cons are of the current small group program from your perspective or experience. What changes would you like to see in the small group program? We invite you to consider making a list of the small groups you would participate in and becoming a launch leader for a group that strongly interests you.  And there will be a time to signup for the small groups we have  

and the ones we envision together during this process!

CD Signing with Ken Lovern

Sunday, May 31 after each service in the lobby

We have some wonderful board nominees to choose from in our upcoming elections at the Annual Meeting June 28. Take time to visit with and get to know them a little better on June 14 after both services in harmony hall.  

After the 11 am service, enjoy an ice cream social  

during the "Meet the Nominees" time.

Hunter Johnston, the Sales Manager of Tesla Motors of Kansas City, will talk about energy, batteries and the Tesla. Plus... the first 20 or so people who come in the door will get to test drive the Tesla! Here's your chance to get behind the wheel of an all-battery powered car!

Please note: if you RSVP and then don't go after all, you are naturally still responsible for reimbursing Curt for the price of your ticket.

Join us as we explore Brené Brown's last five Guideposts in her book, The Gifts of Imperfection and her Oprah Life Class. Each week we will uncover new ways of letting go of comparing, anxiety and always being in control. We will refocus on being creative, having fun and figuring out where we are headed in life. We will venture into your creative spirit as we sing, dance and play using various art supplies (paints, stickers, stamping, glitter, your photos and much more). You will create your own five weeks of Rainbow Reminders that I Am Enough as we delve into questions like:

*           Who has earned the right to hear my story?

*           How can I give myself permission to be imperfect?

*           What is holding me back from __?

*           How do I incorporate fun into my life?

*           and many more!

Come and try the first week. You will discover your soul urging you to return. You do not need to have completed Part I to take this workshop.

Suggested book: The Gifts of Imperfection, by Brené Brown

One Time Materials Fee: $10 This includes a take home 7x10" multimedia journal, photo printing and use of art supplies.     Class Fee: $15 per session  REGISTER HERE!
