          This Week's Service:         
Sitting at the Stop Light With Your Four Way Flashers On

We all live in our own little worlds. What goes on in our minds is only obvious to us. How much happier we would be if we were able to hold that truth in constant awareness! Rev. Peter House.

This Week's Drop-In Discussion: MetaMaterials and Nano Technology. Every branch of the Physical Sciences will be affected by the recent developments in Nanotechnology ("Nanotech" for short) and Metamaterials.  These advances knock old assumptions for a loop!  What differences may it mean in your life?  John "Jack" Belli will facilitate.

Our congregation has been very generous in donating to the Community Food Cupboard this year, and our contributions are needed just as much during July and August.  The next food ingathering will take place on July 13.  Please be as generous as possible.  Thank you.

ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR JULY 6, 2014:

 

NEXT SERVICE: Sunday, July 13: Letting Go of Toxic Relatives. "You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your relatives" the old clich� goes. But there are times when our own well-being is compromised by our feelings of obligation to toxic or abusive family members. Sometimes, it's not only OK to let these people go, it's imperative. Rev. Peter House.

 

NEXT DROP-IN DISCUSSION: Sunday, July 13: Talking with the  Disaffected. How do practice active listening and respect for those whose views are so extreme from your point of view? How do you keep your cool and not respond in kind to words that are confrontational? Bill Elwell Facilitates.

 

ARE YOU NEW TO FIRST UNIVERSALIST?  Have you come a few times and want to find out more about Unitarian Universalism and our congregation?  Then stop by the Welcome Table  in the Clara Barton Lounge during coffee hour.  You'll find friendly folks there every Sunday who are eager to talk with you!
