Meets Sunday, June 19th from noon to 1:15 PM on Zoom and at church [upstairs, follow the yellow signs]:  Before Constantine, before the gospels and epistles, there was the disciples’ experience of Jesus after his death.

Bocce is back and it's going to be a recurring event held twice a month at the church:

Come one, come all and join us on Monday, June 20th from 6:00 - 8:00pm for some Bocce fun! See you soon.

June 22 - 26 - The 2022 Ware Lecturer is Ibram X. Kendi.

Join UUs from around the world for General Assembly in Portland, Oregon. This year’s annual meeting of the UUA will be multiplatform (in person and online). In addition to business sessions, the General Assembly (GA) program offers workshops, lectures, and worship and witness opportunities during the five days of GA.

Dr. Kendi is author of five straight #1 New York Times bestsellers, including How to Be an Antiracist and the National Book Award-winning Stamped From The Beginning: A Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America. In 2020, Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world. His relentless and passionate research puts into question the notion of a post-racial society and opens readers' and audiences' eyes to the reality of racism in America today. Dr. Kendi's events are sharp, informative, and hopeful, serving as a strong platform for any institution's discussions on racial discrimination.

Save the Date: Sunday, June 26, noon – 1:15 pm by Zoom and in-person in the East Room.  Movies! For over a century, this art form has been an important part of American culture. The local cinema once provided, along with churches, a primary meeting place for friends and neighbors, and now has increasingly become an at-home experience – something gained, something lost? Does a spectacular immersive movie experience—huge screen, all around sound, cushy seats—indicate anything about the cultural need for ever more, bigger, more expensive extravagant productions? Are there any movies that have especially moved you or changed your life? Over time, have movies reflected American culture or driven it?  Do you think about movies as an art form or just entertainment? What would you call a “great movie”? Do you care what the critics say?  

To get onto the email list for more information and login information, contact Dick Myers.  Note: the login information for these monthly Zoom meetings is the same each month.

Please join us on Sunday, July 31st at North Park

We’ll be at Roosevelt Grove

A Joy from Tassi Bisers: On Thursday, June 2nd in Portland, Oregon, my daughter-in-law Jackie White, after 24 hours of induced labor and a C-section, gave birth to a 7lb, 10 oz person. As my son Dave says, "Girl parts." The baby has been named Ripley Josephine Bisers! Josephine was my mother's name. Everyone seems to be doing well.

From Lindsay Scott a Joy: My daughter Alexis and her husband Jay are expecting a baby boy in October!

A Sorrow: On June 4th, many of us shared in the Sorrow of wishing beloved UUCNH member, Becky Ridgeway, a fond farewell at her Memorial Service. There was joy also in sharing the memories of her time with us—though she is dearly missed.

Chris Hill mentioned Becky Ridgeway’s NPR profile. You can still listen to it here, or by searching NPR.org for “heart transplant ridgeway”.

A Joy from Irene Dinning: Thank you for the donation of about 100 pounds of compost to the Hunger Garden from Zero Waste Wrangler, a household composting company. It will be well used by me.

A Sorrow from Beth Zak: It was one year ago today that my niece, Alecia died by suicide. I am tremendously grateful for this community- You have helped me to navigate this loss in so many ways.
