“The Covenant of Shared
Ministry and Our Youth”
Youth-Led
Service
In our Unitarian Universalist congregations, we
retain only 10% of the children we raise as
UU’s. Why do we lose 90% of our born UU’s?
Though our culture is starting to change,
historically we have maintained a system that is
designed to encourage them to leave. Our Coming
of Age Youth will explore their role in a Shared
Ministry.

“Helping Shape ‘A New
Religious America”
Reverend Coeyman
As we turn toward a new church and school year,
we review some basics of our free religion. One
of the core values of this free faith is
religious diversity. What does it mean to be a
pluralistic religious faith? How does this work,
having more than one theological path to follow?
And how is this faith part of the New Religious
America?

“Interfaith Community
Services”
Maria Pearson and Sandra
Blythe-Perry
The Great Recession has adversely affected the
lives of many people, especially the newly
unemployed. Demand is increasing and resources
are dwindling. The InterFaith Community Services
has seen many new folks asking for help. The
IFCS staffers will talk about the challenges of
serving those in need and offer ideas to help.

“A Service of Animal
Blessings”
Reverend Coeyman and Martin
Blue-Norton
This is a new type of multi-generational worship
service for this congregation. A Blessing of the
Animals is becoming more and more common in
Unitarian Universalist churches. Worship Service
and RE will be shortened so we can come together
in the playground for an actual blessing
ceremony. There will be updates in our weekly
E-Blasts with details on bringing your animals
to this ceremony. Please, no animals that might
be dangerous or intimidating to others.
