10:00 am “Outliving Our Limits”
Jaimie Dingus, Guest Speaker
How do we reconcile the greatness or our vision and the reality of our circumstances? What are the small steps that we can take to eventually transform the world? Where is the hope in the gap between the world we dream about and the world we are living in? Let’s join together to think about disappointment, resiliency, and the good news of Unitarian Universalism.
10:00 am “Using the SUULE Initiatives"
Led by WUU SUULE Attendees
The Southern Unitarian Universalist Leadership Experience (SUULE) was held during the week of July 25 nearby at the campus of William and Mary. Some of the ten folks that attended on behalf of WUU will share ideas and insight with us today.
Don't let this be you in our photo directory! Our Membership Team has a goal of adding photos of all current members and friends to our Directory by the end of August. We are missing many of you. Our photographer will be available after the service today and each Sunday in July and August to capture your smiling faces. You may also email a picture to the office office@wuu.org.
"Roots and Wings": A Covenant Group for Holding Close and Setting Free
Alternate Wednesdays, 5:30 - 6:30 pm, Fahs House
All Are Invited; next gathering August 03
Amidst the physical and verbal violence which ricochets throughout the globe and is so devastating to body and soul: How shall we, as a congregation, become a community that re-claims "the roots which hold us close", and "the wings which may set us free"? How shall we become both a sanctuary of healing, and a crucible of transformation and new life?
Come join us in Fahs House on alternate Wednesdays from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Our purpose is to speak from the heart, and to listen deeply to one another. We have adopted three simple agreements: 1) to maintain confidentiality; 2) to refrain from offering advice / opinions; and 3) to stay in our personal experiences of the moment – with no advance preparation or expected outcomes. Our intention for this group is to honor matters of the heart and soul. Other groups are more appropriate for those seeking debate / discussion / action-oriented initiatives. The Roots and Wings Covenant Group is for being, rather than doing. We welcome all.

FISH has asked for baking goods: flour, sugar, cake mixes, any sort of baked goods mix such as Jiffy Cornbread mix. Place your donations in our Fish Wagon and our wonderful coordinator, Ivonne Luchs, will gather donations and transport them to FISH.
Please make sure packages are sealed and all "use by" dates are current. Thank you all!
The Fellowship Committee is in the process of scheduling activities for the upcoming year, and we are looking for some fun-loving hosts for our Fourth Friday Fun Nights!
