Minister's Reflections
Rev. David Messner
Being immersed in church life has given me a chance to rediscover and re-imagine the value of summer. Noticing this change in season and tempo, I believe, gives us a natural pause to appreciate the progress and shifts ongoing in our own journeys. I think it's important to set summer apart, to make a regular practice of liberation and renewal in this window. I hope we can each find a personal way to return to the wonderfully childish possibility of summer as time for reclaiming the light of small freedoms that may have dimmed a bit during the year.

Congregational Radio Survey
Our church is investigating the possibility of applying for a community radio license. The UUCS Global Soul radio team has compiled a survey because they would like to know what you think about this idea and what type of programming you, as a UU, might like to hear broadcast on this new non-commercial radio station if we move forward with the application. Paper copies will be available in Rahn Hall after Sunday services for those who do not have internet access, but for those who do, please follow this link to take the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/V2TZ2YH. The deadline for responding is June 14th!

Music Notes 
Kelly Carlile, Music Director
Freedom is Coming
(Singing the Journey Hymn #1035)
Freedom is our UUCS theme for summer 2013. As you read this article, I will be preparing for two months of summer (mid-June to mid-August), during which I will experience literal freedom from my duties as music director at UUCS. For this freedom I am truly grateful. It allows me time to reconnect with my family and to "percolate," as Rev. Dave says, with anticipation on the exciting music and worship experiences to come in the church year 2013-2014. Read more!

We will be sending out one newsletter each month from June 2 through August 4. Each month will feature one of our regular columns, and we will continue to keep you up to date on what's happening. If you have information about an upcoming church event, remember to contact the church office by the Tuesday before the first Sunday of each month so that we can get the word out. Also, if you have a reflection on an event that you took part in this past year, let us know. Pictures are always welcome! -- Anne Butler
