Jul 1 "Music Sunday!" Speakers: Jane Runneals [64]
Board Welcome: Dave Fox
Facilitators: Ralph Gandy, Kitty Fisher
Accompanist: Ginny Molgaard
Special Music: Aliya Gurganus
Sound: Sam Wormley
Join us for a spirit-filled service full of music geared for
everyone from age 1 to 101! Prepare to fully participate with
sharing whatever form of music best suits you -- from humming,
whistling, singing, clapping, dancing, or tapping your toes to
the rhythm. There will be a time for special requests from
the hymnals as well. Manish Mishra-Marzetti says, "The
universe sings no less because time and space wear us thin.
The music calls us to recognize that the song is best sung
with others." Together, WE are the music that brings life and
joy to this congregation!
Jul 8 "Poetic Expression" Speakers: Amy Slagell, Peggy Earnshaw [69]

During the summer months our Fellowship features some lay-led
Sunday programs that invite all of us to see each other in a
new light. This program features some poets among us and
poems that explore a wide range of the human experience.
Jul 15 "Something in the Way We Move" Speakers: Karen Bates [59]
Board Welcome: Ralph Gandy
Facilitators: Peggy Earnshaw, Ralph Gandy
Accompanist: Anne Kimber
Special Music:
Sound: Sam Wormley
For millions of years of human evolution, a sedentary
lifestyle was not an option. In many parts of the world still
today, people walk considerable distances, squat on their
haunches for long conversations, and perform many physical
activities in their daily lives. They display an ease in
their movements which most of us have lost as tension stiffens
our bodies. Join us as we rediscover our freedom of movement
using various modalities including breathing.
Jul 22 "A Bridge of Flame" Speakers: Christopher Chase, Shepherd: Kitty Fisher [81]
Board Welcome: Melissa Niesen
Facilitators: Dan Haug, Jan Cook
Accompanist: Anne Kimber
Special Music:
Sound: Sam Wormley
Hinduism and Unitarian Universalism share some symbols,
values, and history in common. The fire of the UU chalice and
the fire of the incensed Hindu lamp each resonate with growth
and transformation. This discussion serves to build a bridge
between Unitarian Universalism and Hinduism as practiced by
our fellow Iowans.
Jul 29 "The Living Soil" Speakers: Shepherd: Dan Haug
Board Welcome: Dave Fox
Facilitators: Catherine Huisman & Nichole Ose
Accompanist: Peggy Earnshaw
Special Music: FV Double Quartet -- Pete Seeger: TO MY OLD BROWN EARTH
Sound: Sam Wormley
As David Montgomery writes, it is possible to grow food in a
way that rebuilds rather than depletes the soil. Building
soil is a hopeful and practical response to many pressing
environmental issues, as well as a deeply spiritual act of
connection to land and community.

Find Your Way Home" Board Welcome: Molly Helmers, Ralph Gandy
Facilitators: Sarah Carlson, Nichole Ose
Accompanist:
Special Music:
Sound: Sam Wormley
The poet Oriah writes, "This is the reality we live: aspiring
to be at our best, longing for and sometimes finding meaning
in connection within ourselves and with that which is larger
than ourselves, we are undone by messy bathrooms, traffic
jams, and burnt toast." There is no better way to find
ourselves and our way home than living into the mission of
this fellowship: Growing spiritually. Creating community.
Striving for Justice. Learning to love. All are invited!
