July Worship & Learning Series: As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve by J.S. Park. Info, videos, links here. Worship: Today: Grief Needs to be Seen (Rev. Sean Neil-Barron* of Foothills UU preaching), 7/28 Losing Heart. Book discussion: TODAY 11 a.m. *Rev. Sean dreams of a time when progressive people of faith are as equipped to impact society as our conservative siblings. That together we can proclaim and live our core conviction: that all are worthy of love & belonging and that we are all in this together. Sean was born on Treaty 7 land in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and comes to Foothills after four years in New England. He is a self-proclaimed nerd — particularly about history, current politics, science, and Star Wars. Outside of ministry you will find Sean hiking or cooking up a storm with his partner Charles, and their dog Dollie. We are organizing Sun. morning small groups for 6 weeks beginning this fall. Is there a topic/book you'd like to facilitate? Groups will be 5 to 12 people. Contact Brooklyn to suggest topics. Share the Plate is the Darwish Family (via the Immigrant Support Fund). Learn more here. Cash and undesignated checks (or those marked Share, Darwish, etc.) will be split 50/50 with our operating budget.
