Science Sunday @ Noon
In-person and Online
The Community of Science - the pursuit of knowledge as a social activity.
We'll quickly cover some working definitions of "science" from the philosophy of science, and then spend the majority of our time together discussing science as an organized communal pursuit of knowledge. We'll cover issues of social status, community self-policing, ethics standards, social (i.e. academic) expectations, and how the pursuit of science brings people from diverse cultural backgrounds together. Please join us for this Science Sunday to get a look into the "sausage factory" of the profession of science.

During September our special offering will benefit The Alive Center of Naperville, nominated by Dean Reschke, who was a founding member. Their mission is to be a Teen-Led, Teen-Driven™ (TLTD) center focused on empowering the youth of today to become the impassioned, resilient leaders of tomorrow. As a nonprofit organization they offer free drop-in hours after school and over the summer as well as a myriad of programs, classes and events, designed to build confident and resilient teens. On any given day at Alive one will find teen-led tutoring, mentoring and clubs as well as life skill classes such as unstructured art and dance, nutrition and healthy cooking, stress management, open music venues, creative writing and just plain fun! It is a place to belong and learn important life skills. For more information about The Alive Center visit their web site at https://www.alivecenter.org.
Donations can be made through the church website or during in person services. If giving by check, please designate the special collection on the memo line. Cash donations in the collection basket are divided equally between the church and the special collection.

Visiting with Friends
As we live into our goal for the year, Coming Together to Build Community, rev. mandi and the Pastoral Ministry Associates are looking for people to visit with members of our community who cannot get to Church on a regular basis. If you have time and are willing to meet with someone once or twice a month to have a friendly chat, we have a number of members that are looking for connection and good conversation with other DuPage UU members.

Sunday Flowers Needed
Celebrate a person or event by providing flowers for a Sunday service. Flowers are needed throughout the church year. You may request to have Sunday Flowers order a $35 standard arrangement for you from Phillip’s Flowers. Or, if you are planning to attend the service in person, you may choose to bring in your own arrangement from your garden or favorite flower shop. The arrangement should be brought to the sanctuary by 10:20 a.m. Your dedication will be printed in the email with the link to the on-line version of the Order of Service as well as in the printed Order of Service. The flowers are yours to take home after the service. If you are not attending service, you may pick up your flowers either on Sunday 11:45 a.m.-1:00 p.m., or contact Sheri, office@dupageuuchurch.org or (630) 505-9408, to make arrangements for a contactless pick-up during office hours. Remember, masks are required to enter the church. Payment may be made by sending a check made out to DUUC for $35 to the church office (write “flowers” on the memo line), through the DUUC Payment Portal (select “other” under donation, and write in “flowers”), or VANCO (select “flowers fund”). Contact Kristen Tang at flowers@dupageuuchurch.org or (630) 305-7771 for more information and/or to request a date. Thank you!
