Sunday, June 25: "Peace From Within."
Dr. Michael Nagler, Guest Speaker
Dr. Nagler has devoted his life to exploring nonviolence as an alternative to war. Professor Emeritus of Languages at the University of California, Berkeley, and founder and former chairperson of the University's Peace and Conflict Studies program, Nagler has become one of the world's most widely respected peace scholars and activists. For more information about our speaker, please see the earlier UUP Blog post.
Sunday, July 2: "Slowing Down"
Matt Alspaugh, Guest Speaker
Are you find yourself living at an unsustainable pace? Is the stress of the growing to-do list becoming overwhelming? As we enter into the slower days of summer, Matt will explore slowing down as spiritual practice, and suggest some techniques for slowing down, while still doing what is really important.
*****************************************************************************
Do You Like To Sing?
You don't have to make a heavy-duty commitment to enjoy singing with a group of fellow UU singers--just show up at David Dodd and Diana Spaulding's house on Saturday afternoon, July 1, for an afternoon of singing and socializing.
Larking About, the UUP singing group, will use this opportunity to work up some possible pieces for future services, and it would be a risk-free way for anyone to explore their singing side. Or just hang out. Potluck dinner to follow--bring a dish to share. Starting time: 3 p.m. Call David for details, or email weaverly at earthlink dot net.
A second singing potluck has been scheduled for Saturday, July 29, location to be determined. Stay tuned!

*******************************************************************************
Do You Like to Plan Ahead?
Each year UUP mans a table at the Petaluma Progressive Festival. Or, to be more in keeping with the spirit of the event, we should probably say we "people" a table there. It's a great way to let the community know about our congregation. It's also a fun and we're looking for a couple more people to take a shift there. This year's festival is scheduled for September 24, 2006 at Walnut Park. Please let us know (uupetaluma at gmail dot com) if you're interested in helping out.
********************************************************************************
