June Theme: Acceptance/Understanding June 2 – Service – "Transitions" Guest Speaker: Arthur Thexton Acceptance and understanding doesn't just apply to our relationships with others, it applies to our relationship with ourselves, our inner selves. And, part of this is understanding, accepting, and managing the changes that are inevitable, in life. I'll discuss some religious and spiritual aspects of transitions in our lives. June 9 – Music Service – "Love Is All You Need: A Musical Celebration of Pride, Diversity, & Acceptance" Speaker/Presenter: Jody Rendall Listen, clap your hands, stomp your feet and/or sing along to music from: The Turtles, The Kinks, The Youngbloods, The Beatles, Nat King Cole, Queen, Cyndi Lauper, and more... ALL are welcome! June 16 – UUCL Annual Meeting UUCL Congregation Members of the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Lakes will be coming together to address and vote on current church issues, vote in new board members, welcome new members, share 2019-20 service year projections, themes and ideas, sign up for committees, etc... Visitors are more than welcome to come and listen in to learn more about us and what we do here. June 23 – Service – "Acceptance + Spiritual Growth = Understanding" Speaker: Jody Pogorzelski In this service, we will explore our 3rd UU Principle: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations. June 30 – Service – UU Flower Ceremony – Flower Power Speaker: Jody Pogorzelski Jody will share a fun and interesting sermon (written by the Reverend Gary Kowalski) on the surprising strength and power of flowers, and how they bring us together. As part of the ceremony, we will do an in-gathering of flowers to enjoy and share. Bring your favorite flowers (or whatever’s in bloom) and feel free to talk about them during the sharing part of the service. Do not worry if you forget or don’t have access to any beforehand. There are always enough to go around, share, and take home. 😊 |

September Theme: Health Sept 1 — NO SERVICE — Happy Labor Day! Sept 8 – Service – Annual UU Water Ceremony Speaker: Jody Pogorzelski The Water Communion, also called Water Ceremony, was first used at a Unitarian Universalist worship service in the 1980s. Many UU congregations, including ours, now hold this at the beginning of each church year in September. Attendees bring with them a small amount of water from a place that is special to them. As the water is combined during the ceremony, we are reminded of our shared faith and connection to one another. Sept 15 – Service – Blessing of the Animals Speaker: Beth Rendall An outdoor service (weather permitting) to honor our treasured animal companions, those who are no longer with us and those who enrich our lives daily. You may bring your pet, or photos of past or current pets you would like to offer love and blessings.
