UPCOMING WORSHIP SERVICES

Worship Schedule
May 26: "Serving Those Forgotten or Invisible"Speaker: John Bloom-Ramirez War is not easy, and it takes a toll on our soldiers' spirits. Do the ideas of Beloved Community extend to veterans, past and present? Can we as UUs reconcile this and honor our soldiers? Worship Associate: David Chittenden
Board Member in Charge: Mark Erickson
June 2: "COVENANT AS SPIRITUAL PRACTICE"Speaker: Rev. James Ishmael Ford
Rev. James believes we live and breathe and find our meaning within stories. He has long been fascinated with one in particular told by the Canadian novelist and short story writer A. S. Bayat. He wants to share her story and do a little unpacking. Might be fun.
Worship Associate: Iasu Gorfu
Board Member in Charge: Katie Bodnar
June 9: Economic Justice Ministry Program
Worship Associate: Linda Lehnkering
Board Member in Charge: Gerri McNerry
June 16: "FATHERS DAY"Speaker: Rev. James Ishmael Ford
Rev. James was rummaging around his sermon “barrel,” that collection of sermons one accumulates over the years as a parish minister. And he realized he’s never preached on Father’s Day. Or, at least he has no record of having done so. Today he wants to correct that omission.
Worship Associate: Stephen Lopez
Board Member in Charge: Mary Oster
