The Art of Getting Lost
Sometimes we have to get utterly lost and confused before we can see through our assumptions, fears, even commitments to discover a new way of being in the world. Come and 'get lost' as Rev. Luton demonstrates how.
Speaker: Rev. Peter Luton
Celebrant: Judy Hamilton

Last Sunday the congregation shared a glimpse of what each of us believe - wearing a T-shirt with an image or message proclaiming our faith, philosophy, theology, community commitments, or ethical outlook. Thank you Sally Riggers and all the "guest speakers" for this interesting service.

The Spiritual Brain – Science and Religious Experience Class at SUUF
Due to technical difficulties we were not able to present lecture 24, "Reality and Beyond" last Sunday. It will be presented this Sunday, June 17.
There will be no Spiritual Brain class in August. We will resume in September.
There will be 30 minute lectures followed by 15 minutes of discussion. The lectures are on DVD's For more information, contact Nancy Miller 425-754-6138 or
[email protected]
Topic:
There are some fascinating things that arise from our brain’s interaction with the world around us. For one, we almost always think or act as if we have a clear idea of what reality is. Furthermore, we almost always first assume that when reality does not work the way we expect it to, it is the fault of reality – not us. Only when we have a lot of evidence that reality is okay, do we then start to think that our brain may be the problem.
Class Title-Why do we have a spiritual brain? Lecturer: Andrew Newberg, MD director of research at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, PA.

Upcoming June services
J
une 24 – Congregation only
Working together. Looking forward.
The recent survey was Step 1.
Today is Step 2: small group brainstorming about service ideas and content, developing lists of potential speakers, and kicking around how our congregation can continue to inspire, enlighten and add value to our spiritual lives, both personally and as a united church family. A 2018-19 church year calendar will be available to see where your involvement is most needed,
and then we'll celebrate with a BBQ and potluck!

Our next meeting is on June 27. This week's topic is: What's Your Personality Type?
We'll discuss personality types based on the 4 Greek humors (or temperaments) with a fun quiz to help you determine your own. This info is helpful in understanding ourselves and others and is NOT mean to pigeon hole or label people! There is a lot more than this to each of us. Bring your dinner, if you like
