Sunday services, August 2017

Aug. 6: The 7 UU Principles
Unitarian Universalist congregations affirm and promote seven Principles, which we hold as strong values and moral guides. We live out these Principles within a “living tradition” of wisdom and spirituality, drawn from sources as diverse as science, poetry, scripture, and personal experience. As Rev. Barbara Wells ten Hove explains, “The Principles are not dogma or doctrine, but rather a guide for those of us who choose to join and participate in Unitarian Universalist religious communities.”

Aug. 13: The Happy Humanist
The RVUUF Humanist Discussion Group, a decades-strong institution, presents its annual service, with a multitude of perspectives on Humanism and the always popular and lively post-presentation Q and A. Come witness RVUUF’s Free-Thinker Friendly fellowship in action!

Aug. 20: Come, Sing a Song with Me
“Come, Sing a Song with Me” is the theme of the day, as Music Director Shaun Garner leads us in a songfest of hymn favorites. Historical backgrounds of familiar hymns will be included, and we will hear about the latest research regarding the many benefits of singing. Bring your voices!

Aug. 27: Preparing to Welcome Our New Minister
As this vibrant congregation enters a new chapter, we reflect on who we are, and what does “welcome” look like?
