Natalie Buhl: Forrest Church Sermon - You Say You'
10 AM - 11 AM

• Date: July 2, 2023

Meeting ID: 924 1482 8508 Passcode: 153682 As UUs, we sometimes struggle with defining our spirituality, and the conventional words don't seem to fit. Indeed, some of us have complicated past experiences with the religions of our childhoods. Forrest Church, longtime minister of the United Church of All Souls in NYC and author of more than two dozen books challenges us to reframe the word "religion" in his sermon "You Say You're Not Religious." Question: Are you comfortable calling yourself religious? How do you frame your spirituality?

"Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind" Movie at OCUU
6:30 PM - 8 PM

• Date: July 8, 2023

Clint Bartlett is hosting a viewing of "Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind", a movie about making first contact with extraterrestrial life forms and UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). This is a timely topic, as the US Government has recently declassified a number of videos taken from military aircraft of UAPs, and encouraged pilots and personnel to report UAP sightings. Various committees in the Senate and House have been created to investigate UAPs and their origins. The viewing will be this Saturday at Open Circle.

Meeting ID: 985 4992 6012 Passcode: 362177 Gaia's Gifts: Exploring Edible Plants - We can all become depressed and discouraged by the news about ecosystem collapse, biodiversity loss and climate chaos. There are ways big and small to push back against these seemingly insurmountable problems. Emilyn will be talking about the permaculture design system and the food forest project she started on her property during COVID and how projects like these can be part of the wider effort to mitigate climate chaos. Question: How do you reconnect with the earth and find hope in the natural world?

Meeting ID: 952 0238 4402 Passcode: 462262 "O Ye of Little Faith?" Rev. Dr. Tony Larson Some people refer to Unitarian Universalists as people of little faith. (Even some UUs do.)

Before that he served 42 years at Olympia Brown Unitarian Universalist Church in Racine. Tony was born in South San Francisco, California in 1949 and studied to be a Catholic priest for 10 years before switching to the UU ministry, being ordained in 1975.
