NAVIGATING FAITH AND POLITICS
Facilitated by Rev. Jenny Peek
As Unitarian Universalists, our faith calls us to engage in the work of building a better world. Yet, what about separation of church and state?
Come, share your questions and insights on the topic.
Summer Salons are our relaxed approach to summertime in the Fellowship. We gather every Sunday morning at 9:30 for a little music, a reading and discussion. Topics vary. Salons usually last about 45 minutes but may fill a full hour.
Attend in person at the Meeting House, 426 W. Lewis
or via Zoom.

Southeast Idaho Pride Foundation is seeking volunteers to help our Pride event be a terrific success! The following is a call for volunteers.
How many UUs are available and ready to help?
Let's have a strong UU turnout, as we live our values by action.
Individual tasks we need volunteers to do are:
- Assisting with setup/breakdown of vendors' tents - Helping set up the big tents, stages, and other structures - Helping unload vendors' cars and showing them to their assigned spaces - Staffing volunteer stations that people can call on when they need help and/or questions answered - Stage hands to assist performers - Volunteers to assist in our 21+ areas (these areas will be serving alcoholic drinks and featuring more risqué vendors and performers) - Volunteers to help inside Station Square, which will be designated a more quiet area as well as having an STI testing station - Stamping hands - Checking IDs at all entrances to the 21+ areas - Roaming volunteers who can assist with various tasks/answer questions people might have - Tip takers
All volunteers will be granted free access to the next day Sunday Brunch event! Tickets to this would normally cost $40, and the event includes a buffet, drinks, and a performance by the Comedy Project!
If you are interested, please email Jess Attebery at queerclubidaho@gmail.com and include what times you are available as well as which tasks you would be interested in helping with.

DEATH AND DONUTS Will Meet Again in September
Saturday, September 24, 2022

Death and Donuts is not a grief support group. Rather, it is a space for sharing our insights, questions, hopes and fears around death.
Sometimes we have guest speakers or special topics.
Our group for discussing "all things death" will not meet in August.
Stay tuned for more details.
