Dear UUFJC Members and Friends,
Recently, the news has been an emotional roller-coaster for many of us, from the shock of the murders in Charleston to the elation of marriage equality. In her message this morning, Rev. Nancy asked, how can we take it all in? How can we responsibly "hold tension" between our core and the outside world? It's often tempting to collapse into ourselves and our like-minded circles --- whether to grieve or to celebrate --- but Nancy challenged us to reach beyond and engage, to "start close in" and "take the first step --- the step you don't want to take."
Next Sunday, July 5th:
Adult Forum - 9:15 am
"White Privilege," Katherine Connor
Service and Religious Education - 10:30 am
Message: "Eating Grace," Amy Hoffman
Friend of the Fellowship Amy Hoffman returns to bring us an exploration of her life as a young adult at the intersection of mental illness, spirituality and anorexia.
Plus Children's RE --- Volunteers Needed!
