Circles of Trust
Who or what you trust determines what you believe-while other sources are often deemed untrustworthy.
But how do you decide what to trust?
Do we surround ourselves with circles of trustworthy inputs while rejecting other sources out of fear?

in the Oak Grove behind the Sanctuary.
Join the choir and friends as we celebrate another fantastic year of music
making.

grove (and the rest of the campus.)
Let's play! Bring a drum, shaker, and
Rise up Singing songbook. We'll
use our UU hymnals and the Jim Scott Songbook, too.

SUMMER TGIF/ POTLUCK
More hosts are needed for our Summertime TGIF's!
The "Thank Goodness It's Friday" POTLUCK social gatherings are a way of deepening relationships at our UU Fellowship.
Hosting involves opening your home (or the Fellowship) from 5-7 PM; providing wine, soda, water, plates, cups and napkins. The members, friends, and guests bring the food. The hosts put out a basket for donations to help defray costs.
All are welcome to come, even if you remember at the last minute and can only bring something simple like cheese or a bag of chips. Consider inviting friends who may be interested in joining our Fellowship. TGIF's are a great way for new people to get acquainted.
Please call Jan Taylor at 332-4489, to host (or co-host) one of our well-loved TGIF's.
