Annual Poetry & Music Service
Poetry and music give us a way of expressing our response to people, places, things, events, emotions, and what moves us to our depths or tickles the surface. Please join us for our annual poetry and music service led by members of the congregation.

Join Us for Worship This Sunday!
Sunday, September 29 at 10 a.m. 

Worship Leader:  Rev. Patricia Hart, Developmental Senior Minister

Worship Associate: Kristin Kany
 
"Going with Empty Hands" 
The Jewish traditions of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur celebrate the importance of restoring balance to life by practicing forgiveness. Is it always right to ask forgiveness from those we have harmed, or forgiving those who have harmed us? Do rituals of atonement have something to teach us?
 
Game Night - September 28
Erika Reif, Director of Lifespan Faith Development

Come join UU families and friends for  Game  NightWe will have  games  out to play and you are welcome to bring a favorite, too. Because any gathering is more fun with food, it's also a potluck, so bring a dish to share. Homemade or store-bought is fine! And you can skip the plates and utensils-we've got that covered!
 
Mark your calendar: Saturday September 28 from 5-8  p.m. in the Community Room. Come for a little bit or the whole time; bring all your ages (and your inner child, too) and play an old favorite or learn a new  game; our new Ping-pong table is also open and ready for play!  Childcare staff will have kids' games out or just play in the Nursery, whatever's needed to make the night fun for all! We look forward to having you join us!
