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.

Fellowship of the Grape (FOG): Fri., 7/26 at 5 p.m. at the home of Barry and Ruth Long, use contact form by Thurs. 11 a.m. for address.  All are welcome 21+, and we enjoy having those new to Plymouth join us. Just bring a bottle of wine and an appetizer, and join us for fellowship.
