Sunday, June 26
10:00 a.m. Service:
It isn’t About YOU. We all have fragile egos, and nagging insecurities. But we don’t loom anywhere nearly as large in the psyches of others as we hope, or fear. We will explore the liberating aspects of being insignificant. — Summer Minister, Peter House
11:15 a.m. Drop-in Discussion: Success and Luck. How much success is due to hard work, how much to ability and how much to luck? Bill Elwell will lead a discussion.

During the week of July 10-17th, we will provide temporarily homeless families a safe place to stay at First Universalist Church. If you'd like to help, sign up in the lounge after church on Sunday, or contact Chris DeGolyer, chrisdeg@frontiernet.net, Marti Eggers, mceggers@gmail.com, or Sarah Singal, ssingal@rochester.rr.com.
If you would like to learn more before volunteering, we have opportunities to "shadow" experienced volunteers.
