Sunday, June 29th: What Does Your Quilt Say? As Unitarian Universalists, we are called to "live our values aloud" and work for a more just world in which all may thrive. In this service, we'll explore together the concept of "freedom" as an inherent human right as well as a responsibility to uphold for others. Summer holidays and events marking Memorial Day, Pride Month, Juneteenth, the anniversary of the Stonewall riots, and Independence Day offer moments for us to reflect on what freedom means to each of us and how we communicate and act on what we value. Coordinators: Stacey Musulin and Martha Larson.

Sunday, July 6th: Summer Solstice and Living Simply. Join us as we celebrate the summer solstice which represents the triumph of light over darkness and the peak of nature’s abundance.

Coordinators: Vivian Carlson and Ellen Williams.
