UUCC Gallery View Sunday, September 19th, 11am
Our service next Sunday, September 19, continues on the Touchstone theme of Reason. Our frequent Chalice Lighter and longtime UUCC Planning Committee member Dave Rokosky will speak and encourage a lively discussion on "Are UU Principles REASONable?". 

Do you despair that we appear to live in an “Age of Unreason?” Let’s try to escape into a somewhat intellectual discussion of reason. What is it and why is it an important topic in the UU world today? Perhaps you will be surprised to learn that it is not all calm waters on the waves of UU sources and principles. Come ready to defend your favorite principle and source from the double-edged sword of reason.

David Rokosky is a longtime Unitarian-Universalist. He is a retired Social Worker. He earned a Master of Social Work degree at Florida State University and was a National Institute of Mental Health Fellow at the University of Washington. You might bump into him on the trails in Quarry Park or at a local playground while he enjoys time with his two granddaughters or while he tends to garden plots at the Quarry Park Community Garden. He believes that reason and science are our best tools for figuring out what to believe and what purpose we choose to create.

Please join us at 11:00 am Pacific, 2pm Eastern.
Gathering for service and music begin at 10:50 am.

UUCC First Sunday Service, October 3rd, 11am
The Touchstones Theme for October is Reverence. And on October 3rd, we warmly welcome back Rev. Kirk Loadman-Copeland to talk about our 7th Principle in a sermon entitled"Arise Sweet Earth." If we are to learn reverence, we must turn to the Earth. She is a master teacher with lessons both subtle and extreme. And if we are to learn reverence, we must practice reverence for it is by doing that we become.

Rev. Kirk Loadman-Copeland, now retired from ministry, founded the Touchstones Project in 2012. He works with a small UU fellowship located in the Colorado mountains. During his ministry, he served as the full-time settled minister in two congregations in Pittsburgh and Denver, while providing extensive part-time consultation to four small congregations.

As always, beautiful music will be provided by Tom Devine and the UUCC Choir featuring LindaGrace Frost.
