“The Heart of Humanism”
Rev. Matt Alspaugh
Sunday, 10:30 AM
(Different time)
Humanism describes a religious movement that emphasizes human capabilities, especially the human capacity to reason; that adopted the scientific method to search for truth; and that promoted the right of all humans to develop to their full potential. It's been a big part of Unitarian Universalism. We'll explore a bit of its history, orientation, and future.

Popsicles and Playtime Take 2!
Sunday, August 8
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM
Miss Amy and Miss Ashley still have popsicles leftover and need more friends to help eat them. Join us on August 8th from 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM for some in-person fun on the church playground. Be prepared to get a little wet to beat the heat, so bring a towel and/or a change of clothes. We will have a sprinkler, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk. Open to kids of all ages. We hope to see you there. We'll save a popsicle for you!

We’re singing together again! While our regular choir is on summer break, and compliant with the new COVID-19 rules passed by our Board, we will have an informal singing activity in person at the church on Wednesday evenings, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM, beginning June 30. Tim and Theresa Miller will lead the “summer singers” with guitar and ukulele accompaniment of some of our favorite songs. All ages are welcome! For more information and to help give us an idea of how many singers will be joining us, please email music.committee@uuch.org or call Tim or Theresa.

Little Food Pantry
We need signups!!
Please sign up to fill the LFP. It’s odd, but folks aren’t taking lentils or black beans. The canned black beans are being donated to needy Hispanic families.
If you can’t fill a M, W, F or Sunday spot on the sign up genius, you can always drop food by on T, T or Sat. Thanks for everyone who is lending a helping hand.
