RE Kids to Make Stepping Stones

On August 21 and 28, the RE ArtWorks project will be making mosaic stepping stones with Patty Taylor Gutermute. The goal will be that each young person makes one to take home and one for the UUSS campus. Donations of mosaic materials are most welcome. This could be small colorful tiles, interesting stones or small shells, or glass pebbles. If you have donations, please leave them at the RE table any Sunday from now until August 21. Thanks! 
Blessings and Farewell 

Join Rev. Roger, Rev. Lucy, recent graduate Charlotte Selton as Worship Associate and UUSS High School Graduates in this very special all ages service on Sunday, 8/7. We will hear from several of our high school graduates as they move toward young adulthood. Come to hear them, be blessed by their words of wisdom and bless them on their journey.
