“We Keep Searching”
Rev. Jaimie Dingus
10:45 AM
As Unitarian Universalists, ours is a lifelong search for truth and meaning. We wander and we wonder, and yet sometimes we can feel spiritually stuck. So, how do we get ourselves unstuck? How do we stumble into deeper knowing and greater connection? And how do we support each other, as a community of searchers?

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 Sunday, 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!

Chancel Renovation Update
The new chancel area is taking shape! The new chancel framing is complete and rough electrical and HVAC ducting has been run. The city inspector has been called and then the flooring can be installed. The contractor is on track for completion prior to our planned first in-person worship service (opening now delayed)!
Note that the chancel area is a hazardous work area, so please stay out of that area if you are at church.

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.
