Sunday morning, Rev. Nancy TannerThies continued exploring our monthly theme of "Blessing" with reflections on how offering a blessing brings us into "the tenuous territory of change." When we bless someone, we make a wish for their future; we intercede on their behalf. But to make the blessing real and deeply intentional, we must be willing to participate in the future we are wishing for. With our limited viewpoints and human powers, we can't create all of the futures we envision, but we can find the corners that are ours to create, and let our blessings lead us into the essential human task of making the future together.
Next Sunday, July 24th:
Adult Forum - 9:15 am
"Being a Blessing to our Nation," Betty Cooper
How can we be a Blessing to our nation? For years Caroline Myss, journalist, medical intuitive and author studied the soul and its intimate relationship to our bodies, minds, and emotions before shifting to the “global soul.” We will use Myss’ essay, “Our Collective Soul,” to help us focus on “being a blessing to our nation.”

UUFJC News and Events this week:
As a follow-up to a proposal raised during our Annual Business Meeting, Patt Behler has submitted the following draft resolution to the UUFJC Board:
"The membership, in recognition of the outstanding leadership of William Bradford Connor and Katherine Hanson Connor, co-founders of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Jefferson City in 1991, and in honor of their numerous contributions to this Fellowship, chooses to name the fellowship hall of the organization the William Bradford Connor and Katherine Hanson Connor Meeting Hall, and more informally, the Connor Hall. This will be used as the official name at all times when the Hall is in use, either by Fellowship activities or when other groups utilize the hall. A plaque so designating this information will be placed in a prominent site in the Hall."
Please direct any comments on this proposal to the UUFJC Board.
