Sunday, July 9: "Finding the Sacred in Nature"
Many of us find our sense of the transcendent through experiences in the natural world. Today's participation service will elicit our expressions of that sense of wonder, as we share with one another special treasures and moments in our lives. Do you have a special object (rock, shell, branch, favorite flower, etc.) which symbolizes a memorable moment on your spiritual path? Please bring it! A time of contemplation will allow us to re-experience these special moments in our lives and, if we wish, write a haiku to share with others.
Following the service, join up with the Sporty Lunch Bunch
The final world cup game, Italy VS France, will be played and televised at Beyond the Glory family restaurant / sports bar, located in the Kohl's shopping center on North McDowell near Redwood Highway. They have 14 42-inch plasma screen TVs. Our Membership Committee chair, Elaine Ellsworth, has selflessly volunteered to go at 11 a.m. to save a table for us, allowing the rest of us to participate fully in the service, knowing that our World Cup needs will be ministered unto in due course.
Sunday, July 16: "A Capacity of the Heart"
Ministerial Student Lynn Kelly joins us at the pulpit to look at the roots of our Unitarian Universalist second principle, the practice of compassion. What changes could it bring to your life?

"Larking About" (UUP Singers) News
We had a fun singing potluck last Saturday, and brought a brief mantram to the service on Sunday, chanting "Om Mane Padme Hum" as opening and closing music. We plan to meet up again on Saturday, July 29 at Nancy Blake's at 3 pm, with a pot luck to follow. We were happy to have some folks attend who came to socialize and eat, rather than sing!
We decided that we would begin meeting weekly on Tuesday evenings beginning August 29. If you have an interest in singing, feel free to show up on July 29 at Nancy's, or talk to any of the Larking About members: Nancy Blake, T Hathaway, Stacey Meinzen, Shari Woodbury, Celeste Durrum, Jodi Boyle, David Dodd, David Hathaway, or Earl Cruser.

Save the Date! Family Potluck & Swim
On Saturday, July 22 Carol and Steve West will be hosting their second family potluck from 2-5 pm. The Wests have a spacious, kid-friendly backyard (see the picture on our website at http://www.uupetaluma.org/events.html to get an idea what a great place this is!). Bring swim suits, towels, and a dish to share.
Parents, please be prepared to lifeguard for your own children if they go in the pool. RSVP to Carol.
