There will be a special collection on Sunday for the Children’s Village Orphanage where Rev. Linda and Gary spent time on their sabbatical. You can make checks out to the UU Meeting House with Children’s Village in the memo line. How much joy your donation will provide.

"The Untethered Soul"
Rev. Linda Simmons

What is the soul and how would its untethering contribute to our well being and peace? This sermon will explore concepts of the soul and how showing up in it all, in all of who we are, can offer us the energy and hope we need to live lives of creativity and courage.

Music with Barbara Elder and the UU Meeting House Choir

Religious Exploration with Leyah Jensen and Sherlly Morocoima
We can go only as far, as we stick together. Let's put connectedness to the test this Sunday--with a ROOM-sized KNIT! Its time for a wacky group project, that will serve as the activity to last week's service. Then its your choice between 3 fabulous vintage textile kits...WEAVE with any material you want to throw in the loom. CROCHET for a hammock--using only your hand. KNIT the easy way: in the round!

10:45 a.m. - Hendrix Hall & Activities Room

All sermons are available in Mp3 and written format online at: http://www.unitarianchurchnantucket.org/sermons

See you at the UU Meeting House!
