Follow-Up from August 30th Moon Service:
Many of you expressed interest in using the Moon Cycle worksheet mentioned by Melly in her talk during the August 30th Sunday Service. Renée was kind enough to sum it up into a 1-page worksheet that can be printed and used as an outline for those interested to work around. Please click HERE to access a pdf of the Monthly Moon Cycle worksheet. Thanks to those responsible for making this happen!

Joyce Mendenhall had the 2nd part of her specialized cancer treatment surgery on September 11th and is recuperating at home. She'll start back on chemo this week as well. Having good, wholesome, ready-to-eat meals is especially important for Joyce's recovery right now, so please SIGN UP HERE to drop off a meal to help our beloved Joyce. THANKS!
Please keep Sue/Dean Coppernoll and Jack/Jan Groh in your thoughts and check in on them (phone calls are best) when you get a chance.

Our Children’s Religious Exploration class for ages 5-11 is using the Soul Matters curriculum, which you can learn more about HERE.
This month we’re exploring the many ways our UU faith invites us to become “A People of Renewal.” Parents can find activities and discussion topics in the weekly email, and children are invited to take part in every-other-week zoom meetups, the next of which will be September 23, from 7 to 7:30pm. The link to join is HERE.
This week, our focus is on “Letting Wonder Wash Over You!” Our faith reminds us that wonder is a central source of renewal, so much so that we’ve put it in the first of our UU sources: “Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life.” So what’s one of the ways our faith guides us into becoming a people of renewal? It tells us to “Let wonder wash over you!”
