What’s UUp 6/28/26?

Children’s Summer RE Fun: Cooking Day!

The children will not be in the sanctuary during the service but will gather in the Social Hall until the service begins. Then they’ll go to the kitchen during the service. They’ll create goodies for a donation-based lemonade stand. All proceeds go to CLCM Click here to see the schedule for the rest of the summer.

 

Help Needed Sunday AM 9:30am
Due to a wedding on Saturday in late afternoon, (June 27th)  the Sanctuary may not look as it usually does on a Sunday Morning.

I invite you to come to church early (especially if you are strong ) to help rearrange the sanctuary into something resembling our usual layout.

 

Or if you can’t arrive early, helping with the final items after the service would be great. If you can arrive at 9:30 am Sunday, I think we can cover the basics.
This is the wedding layout. (without the piano and plants!)

If you have any questions contact the office.

What‘s Special About This Week’s Service?

As is our tradition on the Sunday after the UU General Assembly, we will be joining UU’s across the country, sharing in the annual UUA General Assembly worship that took place here in Louisville at the Galt House on July 21 and was recorded for use by UU congregations at a time they choose. This will be a wonderful service and you’ll want to attend.

The Nursery is open for babies and pre-k from 9:30am-12:15pm on Sundays.

Please complete one registration form for each child you would like to participate in Religious Exploration in the coming year. This includes the nursery.

Join Us Sunday, June 28 at 11:00am

June 28
Our Annual UUA General Assembly Worship Service

Disciples of Love
Speaker Rev. Jen Youngsun Ryu

 

On this Sunday, we will be joining UU’s across the country sharing in the annual UUA General Assembly worship that will take place here in Louisville at the Galt House on Sunday, June 21 and is recorded for use by UU congregations at a time that fits with their schedules.

 

About the Speaker:
The Rev. Jen Youngsun Ryu (she/her) serves the Unitarian Universalist Church in Eugene, arriving in 2021 while the building was still closed and the congregation was finding its way back to one another. Born in Seoul and raised in Ohio, she found Unitarian Universalism as a young adult in Baltimore and was drawn to a faith that honors both the tough mind and the tender heart.

 

This year, she celebrates the 20th anniversary of her ordination with a steady conviction that our liberal faith, practiced with honesty and love, changes lives for the good.

Our Mission and Covenant              Peggy
We are a church of reason and spirit,                       
That witnesses for progressive faith,
That witnesses for progressive faith,
Nurtures our community, and transforms our world.

Love is the spirit of this church, and service is its law.
This is our great covenant: to dwell together in peace,
To seek the truth in love, and to help one another.
