Sunday, June 17th: "Ave, Salve, et Vale" (Hail, Hugs, and Farewell)
Guest Minister Leland Bond-Upson
Worship Associate Elisabeth Hathaway
With this service Leland's, 5 years with UUP as our Regular Guest Minister comes to a close, at least in the way we've been doing it. Ward Tabler, Professor of Speech at Cal and Starr King School's long-time preacher-trainer, taught novices "don't try to say it all in one sermon". He will keep that advice in mind as he takes this opportunity to sum up and reflect on what's important, and what it's been like to arrive, be with UUP, and depart.

Sunday, June 24th: "John Denver"
Guest speaker: Stacey Meinzen
Come join us to learn more about song-writer and humanitarian John Denver. Stacey Meinzen will talk about his life as it relates to our UUP principles and we will sing some of his songs with musicians Karen Mitchell and David Dodd. Worship Associate Lara Abel.


Sunday, July 1st: "A UU Bard"
Guest Poet: Dr. Ric Masten
Composer and writer of the famous song, 'Let It Be A Dance,' Ric Masten is a Unitarian Universalist poet who has been delighting, challenging, and enlightening readers and listeners for decades. Please join us for this extraordinary and rare pleasure of welcoming a UU legend into our midst.
