Programs for August, 2010

UUFL meets Sundays at 10:00 am at 1402 E. Gibbon. On occasion, our summer programs meet at a different location and / or start at a different time. Any changes will be noted in the description below. On most Sundays, except for the summer months, there are Religious Education classes for children 3-14 and care for younger children.

August 1: “Wear and Tell”
Catie Ballard
August 1st promises fun and frolic! WEAR any old or new T-shirt with a saying, a memory, or simply a comfort clothing attachment and come tell us why this American icon of fashion means so much to you. Catie will attempt to keep the WILD RUMPUS in moderation.

August 8: “Sunday Brunch”
Nancy and Jeff Lockwood
This Sunday we’ll enjoy a warm summer morning with brunch at the Lockwood’s house (2069 N.16th) at 10 am. Please bring a dish to share. The Lockwood’s will provide drinks, plates, cups, etc. We’ll have a game or discussion topic to keep the conversation lively. Directions to 2069 N. 16th: The Lockwood’s are not far from the Fellowship. It might seem that 16th Street would be easy to find, but it’s only two blocks long and there are just two cross streets. To make matters more interesting, road construction at 15th and Reynolds forces a detour if you were planning to just come down 15th. So, the best way to get there is to head north on 9th until you get to Downey. Take a right on Downey and then head east up to 16th Street and turn left. The Lockwood’s are on the right side of the street in a brown house with a big blue spruce out front (call 721-2081 if you get turned around).

August 15: “Clean Up, Spruce Up Sunday”
It is time to spruce up our building, inside and out, for the start up of another wonderful Fellowship year. We will be washing windows, tidying up the kitchen, pulling weeds, and other activities as numbers present allow. Please come give an hour or so. “Many hands make light the work.” Cool drinks and light refreshments promised.

August 22: “What Is the Matter With the Younger Generation?”
Rev. Penny Rather
This question has been raised since the time of Socrates. Probably even before that. At one time each of us was part of the much maligned “younger generation.” Maybe the answer is that there is nothing wrong with them. Or us. As classes begin this week at both the university and Laramie’s public schools, we will take a look at generational issues – something that is important here at the UU Fellowship of Laramie, too. Childcare will be available.

August 29: “Water Communion”
This is a popular UU tradition. At the end of summer, we each bring a small sample of water from places we have been this summer which hold special significance for us. We then pool all our collective waters as a symbol of our coming together again as a religious community. If you have forgotten to bring back the REAL thing, it is quite acceptable to bring Laramie water as a stand in for your far way and or exotic water!
