Sunday, July 30: "This I Believe"
David Strange, a long-time friend of UUP, will speak about his own beliefs, in the light of his rich life experiences.

Sunday, August 6: "Indigenous Wisdom": Guest Speaker: Marty Falkenstien
Guest Speaker Marty Falkenstien was a cultural interpretive park ranger at Point Reyes National Seashore and past director of education at the Marin Museum of the American Indian. She will help us step back in time and learn how the cosmology of the indigenous people allowed them to lead complex yet sustainable lives for thousands of years before European contact. See this reverent human culture through their baskets, buckskin, plant cordage, and bone and stone tools.

This Saturday! Larking About (UUP Singers) Host a Singing Potluck For Everyone

On Saturday, July 29, members and prospective members of the UUP singing group Larking About, and anyone else who just likes to sing, or likes to listen to people singing, or likes to socialize, or eat--in short, everyone--is invited to Nancy and Tony Blake's home at 3 p.m. for the second Summer Singing Potluck. We'll work a little bit on upcoming pieces for Sunday services, maybe read through hymns, and just sing for fun. This will be followed by a classic UU potluck, so if you've never experienced one, please come! Call Nancy for directions.
