WELCOME TO SUMMER SERVICES(POT-LUCK)

Get ready for a summer full of LUUF members and friends engaging presentations.Stay connected this summer and grow in Fellowship with members and friends. Service topics TBA.

Services are typically less formal, smaller, and quieter than the services during the regular church year.They often involve interactions among congregants both during and after the service.

Summer Fellowship services have become an important aspect of our shared ministry. These are importanttouch stones during the summer months, when travel and vacation separate us as a community andmembers bring their experiences back to LUUF, to share with our Fellowship.

PLEDGES

Thanks to all of you for completing your pledge forms and turning them in. If you have not takencare of this, we would very much appreciate hearing from you soon. It helps put together a moraccurate picture of next years budget if we have as much information as possible. Thanks for

addressing this.

The day-to-day life of our fellowship is the glue that holds our spiritual community together. UnitarianUniversalism approaches the more "secular" aspects of fellowship life with the same religious intent as it'sworship. Our religious education classes, adult activities groups, community volunteerism and buildingfacilities committees are essential aspects of our spiritual work. We believe it is our deeds, not our creeds,which are most important. Volunteer opportunities abound! Please consider signing up for coffee service,

greeter, shoveling, or any other activity or job that helps to keep our fellowship moving forward and runningsmoothly. Volunteer sign up sheets are in the coat room.

"We cannot all do great things, but we can dosmall things with great love.Mother Teresa -

Every day we have people helping the Fellowship in ways that allow our community to thrive. Whether youare a board member, on a committee, you make coffee, do dishes, vacuum, shovel snow, rack leaves, plan garden, help coordinate a service or you do one of the other countless tasks, the time and talents you share

is incredibly important for our Fellowship community. Please know you are immensely appreciated.

Join in the fun!

Don't forget meditation on Sunday evenings at LUUFat 6:30

Relax, reflect and realignFor a calming start to you week.

The goal of meditation is to bring inner peacewithin oneself and the world in a positive and

spiritual way.

The world may not always be a peaceful place andwithin every soul there is some form of tension and

stress.It is therefore essential to create positive andpeaceful thoughts to bring peace to our mind.Meditation is one of the best methods to bringabout transformation and nurture the natural

qualities within.

"Peace is not always the absence of conflict,but the ability to cope with it"

Thyear we paid homage to Vince Holschbach, Katherine Helgeland and George Edwards, who left us far too soon. Walso remembered past members and friends, including Shirley Goeters, Bob Potrykus, Olga Radulaski, WinnifreSpring, and others.

In a further effort to preserve the personal history of our fellowship, Zoe Alexander and I have a plan tcreate and assemble a photo album / scrap book of LUUF memorabilia. We want to preserve our connection to thpeople no longer with us as well as to meaningful events and happenings related to the life of our fellowship and ithistory and mission here in Manitowoc.

Photos of departed members and friends;

Photos of special events (new member recognitions, moving day(s), concerts, picnics and parties;

Photos taken at our former homes - Washington House in Two Rivers and our building on 8th Street Manitowoc;

Newspaper articles about the fellowship or fellowship events, obituaries, etc.

Please contact Ginny Finnel by phone 755-2689 or email at [email protected] if you have questions oanything to contribute now or at anytime in the future. Or, simply leave your items in an envelope with my name oit on the information table at the back of the fellowship. I will be happy to photocopy and return any original itemyou wish to retain.

"A person with no sense of the past is a person who is a stranger to his or her own roots...We are inheritors of the history that ha

made us what we are..." -Anthony O'Hear.

"The poetry of history lies in the quasi-miraculous fact that once...on this familiar spot of ground, walked other men and women, a

actual as we are today...". - G.M. Trevelyan

"Of all the intellectual pursuits, history is the most supremely useful. That is why people crave it and need ever more of it."
