Sunday morning, Rev. Mike Adamek joined us to begin our theme for June: Play. Rev. Adamek talked about the important spiritual value of play as a path to spiritual re-creation, above and beyond simple relaxation. It is an active act of participation, requiring imagination and creativity, that involves losing oneself by connecting to something worthwhile. It is a type of communion that brings joy and results in a gain of energy. He talked about the importance of play in a balanced spiritual life, and afterward, we discussed the role and importance of play in our own lives..
Don't forget: UUFJC's annual Rummage Sale will be returning this coming Saturday, June 12th from 7 am to noon! Please be on the lookout for gently-used items you can donate to support our Fellowship; storage space at our building is available. We also need extra tables if you have any you can lend, and lots of volunteers for setup, sale day, and cleanup. All this week, our building is reserved for sale setup and other events there will be on hold If you have items stored at the Fellowship that are not intended for sale, please take them home or label them clearly (we have had accidents before). For more on donating and getting involved with the sale, contact Bob Antweiler (rp8mm9@gmail.com) and Lisa Sanning (sanningl@mrrl.org).
If you would also like to keep up with our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia, their service from this morning is now available to view online: https://youtu.be/5VdPXmuvRxo
