“We are all falling, all the time, from 
the half-understood past to the unknowable future. 
The other name for falling without fear is flying.”
–Naomi Alderman, The Future

Beloveds–

I can’t believe June is almost over! Before we get to its end on Sunday, I want to make sure to say these things to you: 

1 - On Sunday, after our service and lunch (which will both be special this week–look for clues below, or just show up and be glad you’re there!), I will be facilitating a Listening Circle (probably around 1:15, probably in the Wiggle Room or Sanctuary). It will last about an hour, and I invite you to come if you’d like to spend some quiet, gentle time reflecting, talking, and listening in good company.

2 - The General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association concluded three days ago. You can read some useful summaries of what happened and results of important votes here (general summary) and here (UUA Bylaws Article 2 Revision). Caren and I attended General Sessions and would be happy to answer questions!

3 - I will be on vacation starting Sunday evening and continuing through the month of July. During that time, if you experience a pastoral emergency and need to talk to a minister, please call or email the church office, and Kris (our favorite administrator) will connect you with one of our wonderful affiliated ministers. 

Over the next few weeks, I will be resting and traveling to visit friends and family, but I will also be thinking of you and looking forward to seeing you in August!

Yours, in expectation and hope,
Rev. Denise
