ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR WEEK 8/1/11
FIRST UNIVERSALIST SOCIETY OF CENTRAL SQUARE
August 7, Sunday Service
Sunday,
August 7, the Rev. David Weissbard will return to this pulpit at
Dave writes, “It seems to me that ‘maturity’ is one of those squishy
words that mean different things to different people. By some definitions,
‘mature’ is the last thing I would want to be -- and truth is I probably
never will be. It certainly is not the same as ‘old’ because there are a
lot of immature people of advanced age. We will be exploring the meaning of
‘mature’ and what it has to do with religious living.”
Random
Acts of Kindness will also be observed on this day.
This
is also the once-a-month Sunday on which everyone is asked by the
Outreach
(Social Justice) Committee to bring magazines to the church dining room so
that you may exchange them for others. Nancy Hallock, committee chairwoman,
will continue the recycling process by passing on any magazines that are
left to the Public Safety Building Jail in
Also,
the Executive Board will meet in the dining room at
And the SJC will meet after the service
August 3, Ahoy Church Members
Information on Ramsey's cruise:
Weather
permitting, he will set sail at 1700 hours (
Please bring a life jacket, if you have one.
The address at my camp is 221 County Route 40.
Directions:
From the village of Mexico, drive north along State Route 3 for about four
miles, and then turn left onto Route
104B. After a mile, turn right onto County Route 40, across from
Schneider’s Bar. It’s also the road to the state
boat launch.
From Oswego: Take Route 104 east for about eight miles or so, and make a
left onto Route 104B; travel an
additional few miles until you reach the small hamlet of Texas; make a left
onto County Route 40.
The
Video Discussion Group will meet in the Goettel Room at
extinction of their culture. In episode 1, “After the Mayflower,” the
Wampanoag of New England negotiate a treaty with Pilgrim settlers in 1621. A
half-century later, as a brutal war flares between the English and a
confederation of Indians, this diplomatic gamble seems to have been a
grave miscalculation.
Again, we plan to have supper before the discussion group at the Akropolis Restaurant. Please let Janie Garlow know by Thursday, August 4th, if you plan to attend.
August 28, Blessing of the Beasts
The First Universalist Society of Central Square will be celebrating their "Third Annual Blessing of the Beasts" on August 28th at 10:30 am - 11:30 am with a nondenominational full service devoted to the human/animal connection. Each pet will receive a Certificate of Blessing. All pets and their humans are welcome. Please make sure all pets are leashed or caged; or bring a picture of your pet to be blessed.
September
11, Annual Church Picnic
The annual church picnic will be held after the church service on
Sunday, September 11. The picnic will be held at the home of Betty Figie
again this year. In the case of rain, we will have the picnic in the church
dining room on the same date.
The UU Circle will provide a meat-and-cheese tray with rolls and condiments.
Food for the rest of the picnic will be a potluck, as we have done in the
past.
Save this date and plan to spend an enjoyable afternoon under the shade
trees at Betty’s home.
More details will follow at a later date.
