Sunday, July 23 - "The Poetry and Music of Summer” service. A UUCUC tradition, please join us and be a part of this service by (1) bringing a seasonal poem to read that is a favorite; or (2) bringing a seasonal poem that you have written to read; or (3) being ready to volunteer to read a poem selected by someone else; or (4) just sitting and being refreshed, moved, or inspired by the poetry and music of summer.
Sunday, July 30 - Choosing Discomfort: being bold, brave, and loving in the struggle for racial justice. "Compared to experiencing racism, confronting racism is a walk on the beach with a slight chill and hazy sunset. (It is) a walk that gets easier the more you do it and with the more company you have along the way.” - Alissa Kokkins
Please join us for the next Racial Justice Initiative service. We’ll have stories, singing, music by the UU Band and CrUUners, Matthew Gladden, and Laura Robinson, and more.

Kent Conrad Piano Fund Update
Astounding! In three short weeks, we have met our fundraising goal for the refurbished baby grand piano. Since a few donations are still coming in, we won't have a final total for you for another week, but gifts in the past week have clearly put us over our target. Donations beyond our goal will be used for repair and maintenance of our musical instruments and other needs for the music program. Thank you to all of you who stepped up so quickly to meet this challenge! There are many generous folks in our church.
Thank you from the Piano Task Force: Tanja Hodges (Chair), Jerry Carden, Bill Childers, Matthew Gladden, Jim Hannum, Anne Sharpe, Tim Temple, Charlie Wisseman, and Sarah Wisseman
